Quick tip: Angling the camera sideways when taking a picture does not make it "artsy" or "cool," it makes it hard to look at.


Quick tip: Blurring and tinting a picture PURPLE does not make it "artsy" or "cool," it makes it hard to look at.

Smooth. Anyway, there is quite a difference. It takes much more time and skill to do what I did than it does to tilt a camera sideways. I also did much more than a blur and tint. But that's cool if you want to think that way.

no it doesn't. it takes 5 minutes and playing with the filters in photoshop. Or a complete lack of knowledge of photoshop for that matter.

now take your $500 car and go for a ride - boy.

Which is 4 minutes and 58 seconds longer than it takes to tilt your camera. Not to mention it's more than a blur and tilt, but I wouldn't expect you to know that. When I see every idiot on the internet doing what I did to pictures of their cars, I'll stop. Just like I stopped taking pictures of my car tilted when I turned 17.
KBB says my car is worth $2000, which is still more than I paid for it three years ago, thank you. Now take your elitist ass back to photography school and learn how to take a picture.

Hey kid take a photo class and buy a clue. TGO's pics looks great and yes tilting does make a pic look cool and artsy! One of my assignments about a million years ago in college received an A because it was slightly tilted. Really changed the feel and look of the picture. This isn't the first time you've posted this crap on photo taking technique. Take a class and say that & you'll surely get laughed at.:nonono: Ever pick up a car magazine and look at the pics. :idea:
 
So you're grouping yourself with every idiot? :confused: I think you have a lack of self esteem. :shrug:

Nope. I'm grouping someone that tilts their photos with every idiot, and me when I was 17. I think you have a lack of reading ability. :shrug:

Ugh, of course you'd have to weigh in. There's a difference between taking a nice picture and taking 4 of your pictures at a fairly severe angle.


Tilted ftw. :eek:

And that looks great! You didn't zoom in too much with a freakin 45 degree angle. It's sensible and works well. Great picture. :)

Completely different from this:

I gotta give the picture credit to my man Pre98 though, i was inside about to punch the hotel clerk and bill was outside trying to plot on how else to piss me off that weekend.

This is one of mine, i forgot my tripod, and with no flash, crap gets blurry unless it's PERFECTLY still.

And I CAN weigh in since have a Bachelor's Degree in it from Grand Valley State University! Let me know when you have some schooling beside the one going on here.:blackeye:

And it completely flows with the Volvo grill! It's a perfect example of how to use angles.

Hey! he's not your man! pssht.

and seriously, get off the camera angles wah-wah crap. Chris wasn't trying to impress us with his picture taking skills, he was showing us his flippin' sweet ride. (which I get to ride in at SZ while you all talk ghey about camera angles).

And your bachelor's degree taught you to cut off part of the front bumper in the picture too? And I'm sorry that someone here can't distinguish blurring from posterizing.

Yep. Perfectly fine to not include the entire object in the photo. Anything else? :rolleyes:
 
Aw, poor baby, he made you look at a slightly angled picture, you'd better rush to the hospital, you're eyes might fall out! After all a slightly angled picture could quite possibly kill you if you look at it. Come on dude it's obvious that you're the only one whining about it and that Todras knows more about photography than you, so quit crying and don't look at it.



Back on topic: Man, I love that Vulva, pure sex with comfort and practicality thrown in for good measure. The shifter does look odd missing the boot, but I actually really like it, and those gauges look awesome! Really nice car, I hope it treats you well.
