A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

I like it Melinda. Not only the Dutch tilt or Dutch angle as it is known, but I like the post production too. It has given the photo a painterly feel. This was a great series my friend.

Thank you. There is my lesson for the day, I didn't know that there was a name to the tilt. :)

Not a fan of tilts. But that is me. Still, a fine shot. :-)

Superb capture. God bless.

For me, I find that images out of level are bothersome.

Tilt, not tilt, I don't have much of an opinion about it. Don't love it, don't hate it. What I DO love about this is that you can clearly see that black building with the angled roof, which is locally known as "the Darth Vader building." :)

Superb shot of the skyline. I actually always try to keep my camera horizontally, but here the oblique angle looks good.

I'm not a fan of tilted horizons, just because on a landscape like this they are soooo distracting to the viewer. I use a little $3 spirit level which attaches to the SLR and allows the shooter to see if the camera is level from above. It works a treat. THIS IS THE ONE I USE!

Nice capture, but I feel a bout of seasickness coming on, Melinda. Or maybe I should get new glasses.

Ha, the wonky horizon is totally forgiven with the charming tale that explains it.
