Angled pictures...

[quickdodge®]

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.

JDM TITE YO!!!

[Nemesis]

I agree.

[quickdodge®]

I agree.

As I said, this isn't a flame at all. Just wondering. Later, QD.

I wonder the same. I can't explain how much it pisses me off.

[foety_foe]

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.

[quickdodge®]

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.

[SpecV_Scott]

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.

[The Ninja]

Lol.... hilarious.

[DJ XtRaK©]

bwhahahha....he called you "Chief" Mike....lol....what a dork

btw, i hate those pics too

[quickdodge®]

Hey, Matt. At least he knew to capitalize the word(Chief). Lolol. Later, QD.

[sweetcarz02]

I take pictures like that to piss people off.

[RUSH]

QD on a roll with me.....
anotha +1

I have told people that do it, that it looks like crap in there threads. A slight angle can work sometimes but most of the time they get to extreme with it like dudes avatar in this thread, and think its cool! Gives me a headache and hurts my eyes!

I don't really care what you do.

Lolol. Right back at ya. Later, QD.

lol...I lied, I have to spread my flower before giving it to you again. My bad!

[EJ_Allmota]

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..

[Kevykev]

^ good response

QD... just accept it!

[quickdodge®]

Kevy Kev. Just accept these nuts. Later, QD.

[Kevykev]

Hahahahahaaaa

been a while since I caught someone like that.

Good move you homogenous person.

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. No homo. Later, QD.

Nice example!

[Kevykev]

^ nice things usually happen unexpectedly - I was just browsing the bay- I though of QD's pet peeve when I came across that one.

[Jaimecbr900]

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.

Tell 'em again QD.

[quickdodge®]

^^^ I will.

And I sent you a PM but afterwards, remembered that you were to be out of town this past week. Sorry. Later, QD.

No prob, I got it. I'll hit you up later on this week.

I'm working on putting up my pictoral from this weekend....no crazy angles though.....sorry to dissapoint all the JDM'ers out there....

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. Later, QD.

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.

That doesn't even make sense.

[quickdodge®]

In the real world, you turned 3 years old on me and I wouldn't take it and you let your sli.....I mean guard down and got put in your rightful place.

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.

That doesn't even make sense.

The only thing correct you've done in this thread. I left out a word. Now if you'd just back out gracefully, that'll be the other thing you could do here. Correctly. Later, QD.

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!

AND THAT'S THE MUTHAFUCCING TRUTH RIGHT THERE!!!! Later, QD.

And Thank You!

[Jaimecbr900]

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....

[telum01]

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.
