Re: Just Sayin . . .
I frame too tight in camera, in live work generally it's not a problem as I'm mostly happy with my framing but shooting in studio I need to force myself to shoot looser.

Re: Just Sayin . . .
I'm horrible at leaving compositions loose. Editors would despise me. I like to compose right up to the edges of the frame, which is why I love the 100% coverage on the pentax viewfinders. I rarely ever crop unless it is to tighten up my comp or remove something distracting along and edge I somehow missed. Sometimes you can save a boring picture by cropping it down and making it a bit more interesting, but repeat after me: crop is a 4 letter word.

Re: Just Sayin . . .
When casually shooting handheld, I almost always go for an approximation of the frame in camera, making sure I leave enough room to crop. I find it much easier to conider the options and come up with a frame I like in post. And I tweak every photo regardless, so it’s not an inconvenience.
