When You're Taking Pictures, Don't Do This...

when i scroll thru pics and see this shit, it just gives me a headache. unless you're coby, kirk or hankcash, can you just keep it on the level? i can hardly hold my camera, but i can do better than this...

 

They must have been parked on a hill. Was the show in San Fran?

 

Give them a break, the guy has one short leg!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The old "dutch angle" treatment.

 

Makes me feel like I'm falling outa' my chair. If you need to get the whole car in the pic, just take a step back.

 

So, Monster, you're an "art" critic, eh...??? That's photographic "art", can't you see that...??? Did you shoot those pix as an example...???

A word of advice -- next time you open a thread with "art" photos in it, simply clik off it and go to the next thread of your choice. I don't mind crooked...ehr..."art" photos...

R-

 

Rule of thirds ring a bell Roger?

 

Agreed!
Another thing I don't like is the hand-held video crap, like in The Office. Irritating. Use a freakin tripod!

I will say those pics-on-a-stick that Evel did of a car show earlier were f-in cool!

 

oh youre just asking for it now...

welcome to the official crooked picture thread

 

Cat fight!

 

hey, i think eileen took them pics!

 

Fun Governor

 

"Art" pictures?.....they're just crooked shots. (and irritating).

 

Uh oh that angle is not "traditional" take cover the world is ending!!!! As a photographer I really like the different angles.

 

Now wait a minute... that T-Bird looks good that way. maybe it's the AMOUNT of the angle. it doesn't apear to be falliing of the page. looks more like a rocket ship in space.

 

MonsterFlake, somebody's idea of artsy-fartsy. I AGREE WITH YOU! Ruins the picture. (Only rarely is this camera angle justified.)

 

How about an action shot?

 

And I agree with Ryan, and just about ANY photo technique can be abused or overdone. Pursuit of the artful does not justify technique over content. If you can make something work, fine. But if it's not working, or it looks contrived and over-produced, then edit your own work. It takes and eye, plus the willingness to be truthful with one's self. Sorry.

 

HA! I love it!

 

I agree. There's a guy that posts club photo's and the pictures are annoying to say the least. If they were level, then they would be awesome pictures!! Once in a while it's ok to have a picture like this but its like they do it once and go " Cool" and then every stinking one of them are angled!!!

 

One, two, three, four……… Batman, Batman, Batman……BIFF….BAM…POW!!

Since "we're" critiqueing "art" photos, explain it so we'll know what not to do, please, T...

That angle is pretty traditional actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_angle

 

Looks better than those pictures taken from the next block.

 

The angled photos are not near as bad as the one who post photos that are larger than my motinor screen,,,,Hate scrolling side to side to see the damn Picture

 

I'm with there, Rick.... Crooked photos are damn near as irritating as avatar photos that are improperly formatted and end up distorted

 

Sometimes it's a necessity...

If you can't back up any more, and you want to get the entire car in the shot.

Just saying,

Rich

 

Nuff said

 

ha , ill stop being such a hack , what was i thinking?
