It’s always a good idea to try to do your work in-camera, both to keep your eyes sharp, while keeping the most resolution and file flexibility as possible, but there is no shame in cropping in the post, whether the aspect ratio should be different, getting closer to what you can directly or simply because you changed your mind about the layout. This helpful video tutorial will show you how cropping can improve your landscape images and different ways to use it for best results.
Coming to you from Andrew Marr, this great video tutorial will show you how to use cropping to enhance your landscape photos. Don’t forget when you’re doing your cropping, Lightroom offers a host of features to help you shoot exactly what you’re looking for. You can set the aspect ratio you want, which is especially useful if you’re planning on printing. You can also use many of the traditional composition guides beyond the rule of thirds as overlays. Check out the video above for the full summary from Marr.
