Yes i know what you mean, and a crop can pull the eye in to what you want people to concentrate on.
The camera produces square images, and a little game i play with myself is to try and compose them in such a way that i don’t need to do any post production or cropping after they are developed and scanned.
I expect i could have framed it closer but i do like the weight that the left hand side shadow gives.
Another consideration is that they are for a project and if i do crop it’s never away from a square.
Had you noticed that in the cropped photo you posted the colours and white glow of the tiles has also changed?
The bathroom and this one were taken with a camera that has no light meter and i had left my hand held at work.
I had to estimate exposure using the sunny 16 rule, the one below could have done with a bit more but not bad as it was a very contrasty scene.
It’s an interesting exercise, turn the LCD off if using a digital camera, don’t look at the light meter, estimate the exposures then look at them later.

Is that the in camera panorama function? Hasn’t done a bad job keeping the exposure consistent across the frame. Usually you can see the joins by small variances in exposure.
No, joined three (fixed exposure) frames in Autostitch app then cropped. Normally have to revert to manual stitch as it usually messes something up, but this worked out well considering.
Needed to get out of the office for a pootle about and to play with my EOS-M and 22mm lens. So I thought I’d try to capture the colour, vibrancy and sheer joie de vivre of my local area.
Unintended self portrait – it’s definitely the curved lens of the glasses that distort my riding physique…..[url=https://flic.kr/p/qcPoHQ]P8240381.jpg[/url] by simondarney, on Flickr
My first go at astro-photography, this is the Pleiades star cluster also know as The Seven Sisters. I need to play around a bit more in post as the colour looks a bit too purple but I’m very happy with it.
Taken with my phone,through the bedroom window. I popped this up on twitter where the BBC, Daily mail and Met Office all found it and subsequently used it. Sometimes it’s not the quality of the image, it’s the mood or current that it captures.
