Speaking as someone quite new to DSLR photography, what view do you folks have on non-standard crop ratios?
I've used a couple of "thin and wide" crops in this gallery (see top row):

as I think they give a better result artistically.
One obvious example where they are necessary is of course panoramas. However in terms of printing, framing, etc I imagine it can be awkward to deal with non-standard ratio crops, so I wonder if it is best avoided otherwise?
Is it easy to get a non-standard ratio photo framed and on your wall without paying a lot for a bespoke frame?
