as above realy ,
i have a small collection of Lawrence Coulson landscape prints ( some over 1000mm wide ) , this celebrated contemporary landscape painter seems to get away without having ' level horizons ' in his art,
i want to know why almost every pic that has a sloping horizon has this commented on ?
is this just a photography thing , as surly the rules apply to everything whatever the medium ??
i am not having a go here, just wondering what rules count , and which ones can be broken?? and how to justify breaking em without having everyone tell you the horizon is ' out ' ?
my own personal view is that horizons dont have to be level, as the more you straighten , crop ,push n poke an image the less ' natural ' it can become ,
a recent thread showed some great pictures of some F1 cars, and some of them were leveled out to ' improve the image, and to a degree i think the image looked good, but it also made it look like the car was parked up with just some blurring to the tyres ?? or is this just me ? , i felt the originals gave an impression of being on the track, not just static ??or is this just me again ??lol
all this is meant to be a debate, not having a go at anyone here , honest
