It's a lazy gimmick most of the time.<BR/><BR/>The rule I live by is "at one line should be horizontal or vertical." If absolutely nothing is aligned, there should be a darn good reason.Mark M.

I didn't even notice it in this case until you pointed it out. I try to avoid tilt if I think it hurts the image. The best photo, however, is my priority, not whether my horizon is exactly level.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08792813682923795094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904006.post-75902195991413101742007-05-24T01:50:00.000-05:002007-05-24T01:50:00.000-05:00My family raised puppies.

It took the tilt to make it appear "normal."Mark M.

Most people wouldn't look at the objects with their heads tilted like a wondering puppy, so why make an image that way? <BR/><BR/>Are we shooting for puppies?Bryon Houlgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155356026217835844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904006.post-11711094659314295392007-05-24T01:30:00.000-05:002007-05-24T01:30:00.000-05:00I'll try almost every tool in the bag if I have ti...I'll try almost every tool in the bag if I have time. Then, I go with the best image for the story and for aesthetics. <BR/><BR/>For this assignment, I also have sharp images of the dancers in mid air. The blur looked best.<BR/><BR/>Even a tilt, which I dislike, can work if used in moderation. If it becomes a crutch, something's wrong.Mark M.

It's a personal taste thing.<BR/><BR/>Have you heard mixed reactions on the technique?<BR/><BR/>I still take a lot of images with motion blur anyway, because I like the story conveyed in the movement.Bryon Houlgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155356026217835844noreply@blogger.com
