Photo Tip #2: Turn the Camera "Crooked" for Variety

My previous photo tip #1 picture has something in common with this INFRARED photo of the Golden Gate bridge...they both are "crooked"!

Every once in a while turn your camera off angle and TAKE A "CROOKED" PHOTO!

Notice how the subject runs from one corner to the opposite corner as compared to the normal across the middle of the photo from left to right. This sometimes gives photos an extra "spark".

Words of warning: (1) Use discretely, no one wants to see this all the time (2) Make sure you have the subject go from corner to the opposite corner or the photo will really look "misaligned" and this effect will not work in my opinion.

Try it yourself at random times and you may be surprised at what you get!
