From my nature walk today, with b&w effect (and a pic of me)

went on a nature walk today...i tried to upload this into my gallery, but to no avail.

So, I'll place here ...the hydrant is more of a vintage look, but the other is black and white.



ground beneath my feet:

Curious... why do you use Dutch tilt? And how do you think it improves the images?

 

[esselle]

To me, it makes the images look...more interesting? Just my opinion.

can someone tell me how to remove the one of me? it is too fuzzy, could post a much better one. thanks!

Your cute, even with the fuzzy.

Just click the Edit Post button.. and then click the image, and hit delete on your KB. I do agree with DarkShadow.. still a cute shot.

Most of the time tilt is done, is to attempt to make an otherwise boring photo more dynamic. If it is done properly, it has to have balance so it doesn't look like it is falling over. We see it often in newer photographers, especially those that hang out on Facebook a lot and see the tilt there. It is just often overdone.. and done for no reason.

oh, TY for those links, cgipson!

i don't use facebook ....haven't for a while, but while i'm not a novice to photography, i've not been at it for some time, and just getting back into it.
i sometimes use the tilt out of sheer laziness, and not wanting to crouch or squat down to snap a shot at regular angle.
(i shouldn't admit these things here) :=P

thank you for the feedback, mucho appreciated.
