Like most of the others, I don't get the allure of the tilted horizons, but that's his decision to make. I was interested in the mountain bike photos, and wonder if that's a public facility or private? We had a similar trail around here that local bikers had built in un-developed woods, but

Excellent stuff. Two points. 1. How old is he? 2. I think that very often he consistently tilts his shots to the left while this is unnecessary. I think, you could point this out to him in a way that will not sound as discouragement. Some brilliant pics in this set. Boris On Sun, Jun 7, 2009

I realize there are always exceptions for 'special effects,' and maybe I'm just not too hip, but I always like water to not go up hill or down hill, and oceans should generally look level. I also like to shoot architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright stuff, etc., and in 'most' situations consider

No, I would say that in the venue you sighted, architecture and sea scenics, your assumption would be almost universally accepted and correct. Since my son and daughter were married both in the past 14 months, I have seen a lot of what the current generation of wedding photographers are showing,

Well, if he is 27, then of course he has all the rights to photograph the way he finds suitable... I reckon 27 is one of these numbers where if one of this age, one has very strong opinions about things ;-). Boris On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 5:31 PM, Walter Hamlerhamlerwal...@gmail.com wrote: Boris,
