When tilted shots work

Saw this elsewhere & was intrigued by peoples shots.....so why not give it a go here. Post up any shots you have taken that were tilted for a reason .
I'll start it with an archive, where I felt the tilt to the horizon made the sheep seem more imposing, like on gangster movies

Tilted shots work very well, provided they're tilted far enough so people don't think "ffs that horizon's a bit off".

Agreed they have to look like you deliberately tilted the shot not made a proper c*** up of it

Couple of tilted ones from me. Both done simply because I thought flat shots looked too dull.

Deliberately tilting the camera can make your shot look a lot more dynamic.

All of the examples above work realy well.

Here's a couple of mine.

If someone wants to set up a date, I'd be interested - not much going on for me until the next round of elections...

For those nearer to Bristol there is always Castle Combe.....lot cheaper to get in, plus closer to track than some others. OK so you don't get F1 cars but plenty of other racing.

On test days, it is free to get in at Silverstone for the F1 photos. It doesn't get any cheaper than that

I have four days booked off next year to go to F1 testing at Silverstone. It would be great to meet up with you guys.

IIRC (but not entirely sure lol), Im going 23rd Feb, 26th and 27th April, and one day in May.

I will also be going up there for many weekends over the year.

WOW.....surprised old Bernie hasn't got that one tied down.

Always thought Motorbike racing was better to photograph, as easier to show sense of speed through bikes leaning, sliding , wheelieing (?) etc....

Thats cos Bernie doesnt own the circuit, and they want to test there because its the site of the Brit GP They make up for it with expensive food on site and you can pay for a centre transfer, plus you are restricted ot the luffield complex !

I'd be interested in meeting for one of those dates. What's the minimum focal length you can get away with for this circuit ?
