Verticals are crooked.

Should be an easy fix in post... Oh wait.

 

[manaheim]

Lol.

That looks like an adorable shot... But um... Why so slanted? Lol

Well, that's what he seems to think

Nice one.
Why the tilt?
It is over 40 years ago that I watched my uncle make his own prints in his darkroom, but it was there and then I saw that he could correct tilts...

Thank's but i like the tilt because of the way the gentleman has his leg, shooting with the Leica you seem to be invisible
Bruce Gilden does not correct tilt

This makes me think I really should get out the Leica again and use it! There's one roll of b&w film left in the fridge somewhere, if I remember right!?!?
And I now see why you like the tilt, what with his leg stretched out that way and all!

I believe I have made that very expression sitting next to my wife on a bench.

You can only imagine what she is saying to him.

she said "Your not getting me in any of that gear to your left i'm too old, give me a big pair of bloomers any day"

 

[JAC526]

Exactly.

Gary, I love ya and I love this pic and I'm a lover of the tilt when it contributes to the image, so please take this in as lovey a way as humanly possible.

Your reason is utter crap. The tilt is totally borked. Fix it.

Lol

I do love you though.

This is artistic tilt i remember shooting a ruby cup final on a pitch that was slopped about 2.5 feet from on end to the other, first thing i was told was it was tilted

I don't even want to imagine the quality of wine that they would offer as a full bottle with a meal for ten quid!!!

Bruce Gilden is also a total hoser.

Sorry, but I don't buy into the reason for the tilt, Gary. If a novice were to post an image that was tilted and justified it with a similar reason, there is no doubt in my mind that you would not let them see the end of it.

You may like the tilt, but I and a few others don't think it adds to the image.

Good Lord Gary--look through the flippin' viewfinder next time before triggering one off!!!

Geebus!

Reasonable "street" a little busy, but there's some nice geometry and (a little) mystery to it.

I like the tilt because plays well with:

the man's leg
the man's cane
the sloped writing on the shop windows
the relative heights of his and her head

It respects and brings out the various geometries in the situation. Not every street photographer has been all about the geometry, but the best of them all sure as heck was. I like a little geometry with my street.

People who complain about tilted this and that are weenies, there's been some excellent work that was tilted for not one damn reason at all. Sometimes the tilt is good, sometimes it's bad, often it's neither one thing nor the other, it just is. The trouble with tilt isn't the tilt, it's when you try to save a crap photograph by tilting the frame to "pep it up".
