The Dark Side of Cropping
From our “Crop found on the web category”, comes the story of some careful in-camera framing (capture cropping as we cropists prefer).
The sight Oyster.com recently posted a Crop Out. Here, careful in-camera cropping effectively removed a rather large retail department store in order to make their hotel swimming pool look more attractive.
See the pictures and read about it here. Check out Oyster.com’s other Photo Fakeouts!
We at the Holy Crop! blog would have thought they could have found a sunny blue sky too. I mean they were already creatively framing…

Much nicer without Macy’s. It focuses on the pool. Their goal was to make the pool look better, and they certainly did that with a much better perspective and cropping.
Also, they put in different furniture. Took out some shrubs and put different ones in.
But the sky? Go to all that work and leave that terrible white sky?
With an ugly sky it makes the pool look that much nicer. ha ha. Maybe that was part of their plan!!!
