FALCON PUNCH!!


Shot this on my old Moto RAZR v2 I believe. I was at work and there was a car show going on and this sorta worked out for me. Except the blow out in the back end of the badge. That kinda sucked.

Tilting the camera so that the horizon isn't level (or verticals aren't straight up and down) tends to create a sense of drama or urgency in a scene. If it's an action shot and you want to convey speed, it is a useful technique to help make something look fast. It's generally referred to as a dutch tilt, and was used extensively in the original batman tv show (which is how most people recognize it). Forests, on the other hand, aren't very dramatic. Same goes for a parked car.. stationary scenes on a tilted camera make everything feel like it's about to tip over.

If you're encountering situations where something you take a picture of feels "boring" without doing a tilt, it's usually a problem with composition.. the scene isn't interesting, or the photo's subject is not obvious.

See I've always been taught/used (or intentionally not used) a dutch very slight to give a sense of "wrong". For that see the opening hospital bit of 28 Days Later. Most of my photography is in abandoned/crumbling poo poo so just a little off highlights the how unnatural it is. Or, alternatively, a level shot of an empty living room covered in dust is ALSO really unsettling.

I guess you could file that under "drama" too.
