Chat - June Monthly Competition - Tilt & Shift

[Jediboy]

I can't make my mind up about the car. On one hand it is distracting, but part of me thinks that it adds a little 'life' to the photo. Just my thoughts. Maybe if it wasn't a red car it wouldnt be such a distraction????

I would just like to add that I know absolutely nothing about tilt and shift. Hopefully that will change this month.

Its not the red car thats distracting me, its the one reversing out of a space.

Fair point. I didn't notice that one. Guess I should have read your post in more detail.
But it's def the red one that catches my eye more.

[DigiDiva]

I like the red one...lol

If people are not noticing it then it must just be me. I like the red one as someone says it looks like the scene is active. You could change its colour to see if people are less distracted.

Tried this out today "Toy Cars"?


Not sure what you think but thought it was on theme.

[DigiDiva]

Well it looks on theme to me but im no expert!

Now this is going to be hard but the number plate reflection in the window screen of the left car could do with being gone and the number plate on the van looks too life size but thats probably because toy cars don't have the GB section. The camera could have done with being a little bit further away and higher for me and maybe a tiny tiny bit of fish eye (barely enough to notice its fish eye) or lens distortion.

All in all I thought you had taken a picture of toy cars at first glance so good job really.

I'm struggling to come up with ideas on subjects myself. Being a carpenter I thought maybe a tool rack or someone working at the bench. I have 4m high ceilings in my workshop so could get a nice angle. There is a train and tram station just up the road with a bridge over it so thats another. Maybe ill try all three
