You're making a big deal out of nothing - SOOC ya'll! by northy

You're making a big deal out of nothing - SOOC ya'll!

It prolly is NOT a good idea to try too many different things at once ;p so... uhm... ya...

this is SOOC... this is a hip shot... and the in-camera processing was to shoot monochrome with a sepia toner having boosted the contrast by 4 and the sharpness by 2... for the camera settings challenge donchaknow ;p

I think this photo doesn't quite work, not because of the tilt, but because unless you live around here, you prolly don't get that she's standing on the bench in a bus shelter poring over a map of the area ;p

Thank you for all the lovely comments and favs on my train shot :)


It makes it interesting and you can see she is standing on the seat! The figure is nicely focused!

Cute shot! love the angle.
September 22nd, 2012  
Very cool shot!

Nice work! I think this is fantastic. Love the tones and contrast.I've looked all over my Nikon menus and can find NO contrast adjustment.

Great tilt to it!

Love the angle. Makes it special.

Nice angle Northy, very cool shot
September 22nd, 2012  
I think it works well
September 22nd, 2012  
Ah, now I get your title! Great angle, and super sooc!
September 22nd, 2012  
I actually quite like this! It's got a cool difference to it...
September 22nd, 2012  
well, i think it's a pretty good shot northy! i wouldn't have known what she was doing had you not explained, but it makes perfect sense now. I like the tones. I knew that my camera would do b&w, but didn't know it would do sepia tones.
hey, i downloaded a trial of Nik Silver Effex. It's great, but wow, lots to learn with it!

@paulaag hey Paula.. There us a video tutorial for nik silver efex... It's worth watching...
September 22nd, 2012  
@northy , i've watched a couple of the videos. You are right, very helpful. i need to watch a few more!
September 22nd, 2012  
Love the angle!
September 22nd, 2012  
Great composition, I really like the focus and the angle!
September 22nd, 2012  
We do that sort of thing sometimes! Given the notice in the shelter i can see why you tried to do something different. Usually I am unable to predict if it will work, so i just do it in hope! I think it would have worked better without the tilt so you just focus on her standing on the bench reading the chart - and it would have been quite an amusing shot. Or maybe you could have tilted a full 90 degrees!

@yrhenwr y'well... It was a hip shot... Which I was kinda messing around with yesterday... I do have another one that is slightly better framed... But she wasn't "posed" as well... This one best caught the essence of what I saw :).
September 22nd, 2012  
Cool shot. In my imagination she is pushing the bus shelter over with her finger. :)
September 22nd, 2012  
great dutch angle, works pretty well here. love the monotone, too. i like how ever slightly her finger is on the surface as if all's going to change if she push it a bit more. wonderful!
September 22nd, 2012  
Very cool. Love that angle.
September 22nd, 2012  
you certainly had a lot of camera settings to deal with here. nicely seen.
September 22nd, 2012  
Love the tilt! Great in camera processing!
September 23rd, 2012  
Great tilt ...l like that she is standing on the seat ...love the tones!!
September 23rd, 2012  
I saw here standing on the bench straight away. Whenever I shoot from the hip (he he) it always looks like crap. Nice one.

I think it works really well actually. Love the angle and amazed it's SOOC xx
