The reason for the angle.. Hard to say, Visar! I assume a mixture of many "reasons", of which each one is very weak, but when I add them all together, then something takes place. For the time being I think that it is some kind of "putting a bit of more action" to the otherwise "peaceful still", but I don't really know. As I said to Gustavo, for me any intented "different" orientation is but one of the infinite many. Which doesn't of course automatically dictate to tilt the camera just because it is "only" a rotation and thus also retainment of the topology of the image, ey? ;-)
And this seems to be the main reason. My indifference to such tilts if they are intended, and if the quality of the image is OK other wise. Perhaps I should also radically change this indifference of mine.
You, civil engineer! ;-) You, orthonormalizer of the world! ;-) You like tilt things, but you'll never accept it in front of the public, ey? ;-)
There are two kinds of tilt considering technique. One is the accidental tilt that wasn't intended but only the result of carelessness. That's bad tilt. The other kind is the intended tilt as a composition element. That's good tilt.
The resulting image is of course another story. One can like it, dislike it, or anything inbetween. But the thing is, as I implied, that one has also some general point of view for that, and for me a tilted composition does not differ at all from any horizontal or vertical design, provided it's a good image. It is exactly this, the image quality, that counts, be it tilted or not, and provided of course it was intended that way. And it's also very real - you just turn your head and you see the world tilted with your own eyes ;-)
A good tripod allows also such tilted compositions quite easily. You just tilt the head plate, you fix it, and here you go. I do it quite often. If the tripod doesn't have that facility, then it is also easy to add it. You only need a metal plate and some screws.
Anyway, tilted or not, have a nice day in any special orientation from 0° to 360°! ;-) Hey, it is still the same space topologically ! ;-)
I see you have a great reason to have this shot as a favorite for it disposal of details, crisp and beautiful- and very rich-- and, i do like them as much. on the other hand, regarding the perspective, i find no strong reason for having this angle in this shot. maybe because we have a cityscape here which is placed in a sequence cut and i do not get the feeling of it properly; if tehre's such a thing. however, the details that you have gotten with this exposure here, are to admire. simply excellent.
Me gustan los diseños arriesgados sí, pero en el caso particular de los horizontes soy bastante conservador, en general me molestan los horizontes inclinados y eso es seguro por mi formación de ingeniero.
Creo que la mayoría de las veces los horizontes inclinados no quedan bien, pero he visto fotos fantásticas con horizontes inclinados...y esta es una muy buena foto...;-). Se puede tomar una foto genial con un horizonte inclinado, pero no es nada fácil....en mi opinión...:-)
Some days ago you told me that you like "dangerous designs", Gustavo. Today you tell me, you are uncomfortable with them. It's up to you, but decide! Or do we write comments just for writing them?
To tell you the truth, Dave, this one is my favorite for its deteiled backround. (Not for the skew orientation.) But perhaps the orientation brings the background details into motion too.
En general los horizontes inclinados no me gustan, me incomodan, es por mi formación de ingeniero, es simple, toda estructura que no esta verticalmente apoyada en el suelo firme, puede caerse, y eso es el terror de los ingenieros, ja...ja..., pero aquí no queda mal el encuadre que elegiste...
