Why do photographers do this? I'm only speaking for myself, but I think it looks like shit. Honestly. I don't like having to turn my neck to one side or another to see a picture. I don't understand the reasoning of it so I'm asking what purpose does it serve.

Don't take this as a flame to you guys or your pics, that's just my feelings. Later, QD.

my aviator picture is total angled, hahaha. but its ok, i took the picture just messing around one day. i wasn't trying to be pro photographer or anything. i just love it when people take angled pics and it looks like total shit, but they think they are pro's since they just took a angled pic.

I'll do it occasionally to get a wider field of view. If you think about it, the diagonal is wider the sides of the rectangle.

I'd rather not worry about the wider view and be able to just normally look at a pic. If you want wider, get a lens that does that for you. Later, QD.

I don't think they make wide-angle lenses for cellphones and cheap digital cameras. I don't take pics so that QD can have an easy life....I take them for my own enjoyment. Sorry man.

What are you? You must be a goddamn idiot. I guess that's obvious, though. Next time, you shut the fuck up and let grown people answer if you're not capable of thoroughly reading, comprehending and then replying to a question. Fucking dumbass. If you think taking cellphone pics is professional, your thinking is more than questionable. Which could also be seen in your response.

Lolol @ me hitting an XX nerve on you. Later, QD.

WOW. What's with all the hostility? Your original question said "photographers," not "professional photographers." There's a big difference there, Chief. I don't know you, so I'm not going to make assumptions about why you can't respond to a completely honest post like a rational person. I don't even care why. I just wanted to shed some light on the topic at hand.

No hostility. Your first post was sufficient enough. You didn't need to come back with some bullshit response afterwards. I can respond to any post in any way I deem fit. Your post was worthless, so I trashed it. The only thing you shed light on was idiocy. If you make rational posts yourself, don't come around. Later, QD.

Honestly i take angled shots every now and then because to me it gives certain pictures some kind of character.. There is no reason to do it with every single picture though.. But honestly i have seen photographers put way too much angle on their pics to the point it becomes obnoxious because you have to damn near tilt your whole damn head to see the pic.. My shots can be generally enjoyed with your head straight..

I agree.

I've been told several times that I don't put enough "angle" on my pics....whatever.

People think that because it looks cool on the cover of SuperStreet that it will be cool if they do it too. It ends up looking like Kev's example and makes the subject look like it's on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center or just been shot out of a cannon....either way it's gay IMO.

No, you disagreed with what I said, and decided to act like a child and lash out for no reason. If you can't tolerate other people's opinions, then don't even bother starting threads asking for them.

Oh I can. Your first post was an opinion. Your second was not.

No no, you do it right Jamie. Your pics are very nice. Its kinda funny that all your random people taking pics are the ones that do the angles and think its da bomb as they say, and the guys that have been into photography no its lame. Go to any pro. photography site and throw some extreme angles at them and see what they say...lol

Dont change anything you do Jamie!

Thanks Rush.

It's been said already, but Ima repeat for good measure just because......

If you have to crane your neck to see it or figure out what it is.....it's TOO much. Extreme angles are gay, period.

Now, I've seen some cool ass pics with some aggressive angles too. All of those pics had someone behind the camera that had a REASON for putting in an angle to that particular shot. Maybe the background made it cooler, maybe they wanted an optical illusion, maybe it just worked for that particular (and only that particular) picture.

Anyway, bottomline is that QD and the rest of the guys are right. Too much angle ruins otherwise good pics the majority of the time. Sometimes the original pic, even w/o angles, sucks too but that's another whole subject.... :D

it's because of threads like these that i avoid this forum. even though i can't stand angled pics, i don't care if other people take them. they're other people's pictures, so who am i to criticize them?

and quickdodge, grow up. how are telling someone else to "grow up" when you're the one throwing a tantrum? all Scott was saying is that he doesn't care what other people think about the pictures he takes. if you don't like the pictures, don't look at them.

Cause we are use to posting pics and then saying please critique(spl) them. I love when someone tells me stuff I need to change or do differently to my photos, it just makes you better!

These crazy angles just look plain stupid, and hurts my eyes!

that's fair enough. if someone asks for the critique, then great. like i said, i've never been a fan of the angle shots either, or the shots taken really low to the ground looking up. it makes cars look too high off the ground.

You aren't shit to tell me to grow up. So you shut the fuck up. And, as I stated before(I guess you couldn't read it), his first post was cool. It was his second post that needed to be checked. And I did. You have a problem with it? So. I don't give a fuck. Later, QD.

Where, in telum's post, did he say that you criticized someone's pictures? Nowhere. So what's with the attitude? You have this hair-trigger asshole response to any post that remotely disagrees with what you said. Why?



And, as I stated before(I guess you couldn't read it), his first post was cool. It was his second post that needed to be checked. And I did.

Why did SpecV's second post need to be "checked"? Was it because he pointed out that the average guy doesn't have a DSLR, and isn't willing to drop $300 on a lense to take a wide-angle shot, just so you'll like their pics more? Or was it because he had the audacity to say that he himself doesn't care if you like his pics or not?

Also, how exactly did you "check" it. By calling him some names? Yay! :DYou won the internet!


Who are you to criticize what I post?

Okay, seriously, this is the lamest, most cliche, e-thug argument ever. Who is telum to criticize what you post? Uh, who are you to criticize what he posts!? Or what SpecV posts!? How about this one.... who are you to criticize angled pictures!? That's right. You're no one, just like the rest of us, and you have an opinion, just like the rest of us. Feel free to express it all you want, just don't get sand in your vagina when someone else disagrees. FYI, I can assure you no one really gives a fuck whether you like angled pics or not anyway. :goodjob:

Oh wait, that's right, I forgot, you're QD!! King of the internet!! :bowdown::bday: :bannana: I mean, look, you've even got that really "witty" signature (some spelling errors in there btw) talking about how tough you are, and you have 35XXX posts, and lots of rep points and all that other fancy stuff! WOWEE!!!1 Big fucking deal. I hate to break it to you, but your opinion doesn't matter anymore than anyone elses, regardless of your IA post count and rep points.

If you dont like looking at angled pictures... don't look. You're not going to stop people from taking them, so why waste time and energy complaining about them?

If you could understand subliminal messaging, you would see that he was referring to me criticizing pictures. Don't worry about my attitude. Worry about you. Not me. You must be scared bitch behind a fake name talking shit to me.

Or was it because he had the audacity to say that he himself doesn't care if you like his pics or not?

I never told SpecV to buy any goddamn thing. I made a general goddamn comment on not liking angled pics and asked why and it seems some of lesser known idiots come flying out thinking the worst. Even when I stated it wasn't a flame. I don't give a goddamn what he cares about.


Also, how exactly did you "check" it. By calling him some names? Yay! :DYou won the internet!

That's how it goes down, sucka.


and you have an opinion, just like the rest of us. Feel free to express it all you want,:

There you go, chump. I did voice my opinion. And when your sister came in and tried to be a smart ass about it, I came back. So what? An even-keeled person would have came in and gave their reason for why they do like it. But that trick decided the better route would be to be a smart ass.

Like I said, you're just scared little trick with a made up name so I don't know who you really are. I don't care. So suck my dick some more. Ok?
