Why YSK: I’ve been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I’ve asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.
I get it and I’ve always known. I just prefer 16:9 photos because… Well, my screen and monitors, and TV are 16:9 so why not take photos that (by default) fill the screens?
Nothing more annoying than showing an album to friends over Chromecast on your TV and the photos don’t fill the screen.
But you can still just crop it after taking the picture? 4:3 would just give you more freedom of where the cut is made for photos that might not be lined up perfectly when taken in 16:9.
