    Some very strong images - though I could do without the damn camera tilt. rolleyes1.gif

    Love these - especially love that they are all done, boldly and proudly, in BW. Stunning images.

    rolleyes1.gif Well, what's sad is that this photography is very strong over all, and the images don't gain anything by his having tilted the camera. In fact, given the settings in which the images were taken, they cause me to wonder if a building was tilted, or the ice was tilted, and it probably wasn't.

    What's sadder is I never noticed the tilt. eek7.gif

    I noticed it right away. Sometimes I like it, in these I feel as though they would've been stronger without the tilt.

    The ice may have been tilted, but I as well doubt that is the case.

    The other night I was taking some long exposures of Christmas lights in a park. And I noticed that my pictures were tilted slightly. The camera was perfectly level according to the gauges on my tripod. But, I never realized that the lights were on a hill... so I had to adjust. Maybe they just didn't adjust? Doubt it though.
