📸 by Nick Dale Photography
If you have a full-frame camera with a 45-50 MP sensor, extreme cropping is possible and sometimes essential. Nick took this shot of a female leopard as it walked along the riverbank in Chobe National Park, but even though he was using his 600mm lens, he was quite far away, so she didn't fill the frame by any means.
However, he happened to notice that she was passing in front of bushes that were in deep shadow, so he decided to crop in to isolate the leopard's head against the black background. And that made the difference between a 'ho, hum' record shot and something that might make the viewer say, "Wow!" Shot with a Sony ⍺1 and a 600mm lens in Chobe National Park, Botswana, in May 2024.ISO 100, 600mm, f/4, 1/1000, -1.7 EV
