Oahu, Hawaii Panoramic Photography

Until recently I would stitch together a panoramic and then crop it to whatever dimensions it happened to be. I've recently started cropping all of my panoramic shots to a 3 by 1 ratio. I really like the consistency it has added, even though some of my pans could be 5 to 1 or 6 to 1 ratio. The later is really too much actually. I will still shoot it as wide as possible, but then forcing myself to crop it to 3x1 makes me select the most important part of the image.
