All of my photos in my late 2 posts were taken in the mountains in Arizona by the Tonto Natural Bridge park. By Payson, Arizona

Awesome. Haven't been in that area in ages but I love the Mogollon Rim area. Thanks for bringing back great memories. Some nice lakes up there too.

What's the general consensus for aspect ratio. Shoot in 16:9 or 4:3 and crop later if need be?

Thanks! We love to go fishing in those lakes. Always a good time

I'm torn on that. Taking in 4:3 seems to waste so much display space, but I want the full resolution.

Yep. That's my exact same conundrum

Yeah, I ultimately​ landed on 16.9. Don't wanna waste all that real estate.

Since 4:3 is the native resolution of the sensor, that ratio uses full capacity of the camera sensor, whereas 16:9 only uses 75% of the sensor. If you take the picture in 4:3 you can always crop down to 16:9 and still have the same resolution you would have had if you'd use 16:9 in the first place. But you can't go the other way, without losing quality (resolution).

I think the general consensus among photographers is that 4:3 is a better general purpose aspect ratio, which is why nearly all smartphone and higher end cameras have a 4:3 native resolution.

So 16:9 is basically a pre-cropped 4:3 photo, is that right? I've been taking photos in 4:3 since I got the s8 but just being lazy trying to avoid that extra step of cropping afterwards even knowing it's the best option

 

[edubb256]

Yes, exactly.
