Cropping in Lightroom

Ok, so it’s pretty easy to crop an image in Lightroom- just click the Develop module and click crop. But try to crop to 6 x 4 – there’s a 4 x 6 size but that’s not the same as 6 x 4 as you’ll soon find out.

Here is a link to a video tutorial that shows how to crop in Lightroom, including how to crop to that 6 x 4 and how to display handy crop overlays.

Hong Kong Island tram

I’m not sure exactly what to say about this photo, it still takes my breath away every time I see it. It is so quintessentially Hong Kong.

Years ago they talked about taking out the trams, thankfully, reason prevailed and they didn’t. They are so unique and, in this photo, the tall tram, tall buildings and narrow roadway all work to give a wonderful perspective on this beautiful place.

Interestingly, the image can be cropped across the middle to give an equally beautiful and powerful image but, when it came to the crunch, I chose not to crop it. It’s this version that speaks to me, it’s what I saw and how I captured the scene, so here it is. Enjoy!.
