Go Dutch to make a better photograph - home - A Better Photograph In making photographs, our normal inclination is to make the horizon level. And in fact, many cameras now a menu item that allows the display of a built-in level to assist with that. But sometimes, skewing the horizon line in the photograph can add impact to an image. In cinematography, Dutch angle means tilting the camera to create a sense of exoticness or unease. It's a technique that has been used often in film, and photographers use the technique as well. And here are a couple of other examples of using the Dutch angle. So the next time you do a shoot, play a little bit with the horizon line.
Tracy's Trinkets and Treasures: Angled Photography Ideas I really think this next party is going to be tons of fun.

What makes an outstanding image? (part 1) Apples. Nikon D800E, Zeiss ZF.2 2/100 Makro-Planar Of the 400 or so posts I’ve published up to this point, I recently realized that the one enormously gaping hole I haven’t yet covered deals with the one of the major fundamentals: how do you actually determine if an image ‘works’ or not? What makes it good? What makes it outstanding? I think it was both a discussion on composition in our reader pool forum on Flickr, as well as the strongly mixed reactions to this photoessay post that did it – context, even a mini-article, sometimes simply isn’t enough if you’re missing a cultural familiarity, or local view.

The Photographers Society PHOTOGRAPHER FOCUS · Luca Adamo If you ask me for it, I will say that Luca Adamo makes mainly street photography. But it is not easy to define in a univocal way which can be understood as such: it is not even possible to find among photographers who love the genre even an uniform idea about the elements or traits that can define it. For some, it is as simple as picking up the camera, go out and find moments; these everyday situations in which people who pass beside us are usually involved. Luca’s approach to the photographed reality in the urban environment is fully emotional: in his photography he treasures unique everyday fragments. And paradoxically, although the human figure is broadly absent from his shots there is in them a huge dose of humanity. Luca’s stylistic universe is broad. Luca shoots with a Canon 5D Mark II as a main camera that he complements with a lightest Fujifilm X20. -Juan Manuel

Meet Echograph, the Instagram of Animated GIFs | Wired Design You’ve been warned: You’ll soon see images like the ones in this post — part moving, part still — everywhere. Animated GIFs are making a comeback, and Echograph, a new iPad app, is taking them to the next level. Remember how the newspaper photos in the Harry Potter movies came alive?

Alt’s team actively uses a variety of photo-sharing services like Facebook and Instagram, but wanted something more.
