HT1293 - Critical Composition

In my view camera days, critical composition in the field was essential. The indispensable tool for those kinds of images was my geared tripod head that allowed me to position the camera with precision. I used that same geared tripod head for a while in my digital photography, but then I realized an equally valid technique was to simply zoom out a few millimeters so that I had room to crop to the critical composition in Photoshop or Lightroom. I sold my geared head, and haven't missed it yet.
