RE: Photo of crooked horizon line? I've got the perfect response to the critics!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I also sometimes tell people to watch their horizons 😬
But it is really to help.
I agree with you that rules are there to be broken. And when you tilt your photo on purpose it's fine with me. It can even be artistic like your shots.
But when a coastline shot is tilted 5% I always wonder where the water will flow.
In many cameras and even smartphones you can often configure gridlines in your viewfinder (or screen) this could help both with a straight horizon as the other 'rule' you don't necessarily need to follow: the rule of thirds.
And all after editing tools, even the ones on your phone have options for straightening images, so that's no excuse!
I find the corner to corner skewed images you shared very cool by the way.
Thank you so much for your comments!
I agree 100% with you! The horizon is one of the first things that I notice (I liked the 'wonder where the water will flow' - will use it from now on with credits :))
I was so impressed when I found out about grid lines a few years back, I had no idea ...
p.s. this post was supposed to be humoristic and at the same time teach us something new (I only learnt about it a few days ago :))
