I don't like it. The heavy tilted shots are all the rage in wedding photography right now. Personally, I just don't like them. Looks like lazy, sloppy shooting to me. There are a few cases where it might warrant it, but for me, that is rare. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if you can't figure out how to hold or hang the picture, what good is it. It must be a picture straightener's nightmare now.
There is definitely a style out there now where the almost diagonal shot is considered cool and artsy - at least in US wedding work. If I had to hazard a guess, I would think some of it stems from all the young people taking pictures of themselves for MySpace and such. Very hard to hold the camera level and get a good shot of yourself. And frankly, the kids don't care. I know, I have two of them. Guess I should just shut up and get back to work...sorry for the bandwidth. -- Bruce Monday, April 16, 2007, 7:36:22 AM, you wrote: FT> Hi PDMLers, FT> I recently enabled myself with a 21/3.2 and gave it a walk on FT> Saturday.
