A previously unpublished shot from May 2016. This is shot through the viewfinder, as I almost always do, and as I'm quite tall I had to crouch a bit to get the shot framed up. I think they noticed! Enjoy.
Something's not quit right
A Dutch angle is a camera shot in which the camera has been rotated relative to the horizon or vertical lines in the shot. The primary use of such angles is to cause a sense of unease or disorientation for the viewer.
This diminutive (1.25") black and white native of South America is also known as Marbled Tree frog or Bird Poop frog (Dendropsophus marmaratus). The frog's habit of flattening themselves on top of leaves, sometimes even appearing to drip from the leaf tips, is exquisite camouflage. Predators don't bite, they don't even step on them.

"The chessboard sprawled across the dusty floor, pieces mid-battle, untouched for days—like a mind waiting to be read, a challenge whispered into silence."
Floor chess game in a mall hallway (don't know how to play it). Nobody was interested; the area was very quiet and solitary. HMT!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends!
Today is a purple or pink day at Color My World Daily Group and Make me smile on Saturday Group celebrates Dutch angle.
If you are like me, and you have no idea what Dutch angle is. Here is an official definition from the group for this theme : “A Dutch tilt is a camera shot in which the camera angle is deliberately slanted to one side. This can be used for dramatic effect and helps portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.
It's also known as Dutch angle, German angle, oblique angle, canted angle and even the Batman angle.
The Dutch tilt was used a lot in German films of the 1930s and 1940s. This is where the name German angle came from. The Dutch term is said to have been a mistranslation of the German Deutsch.”
And since I had a very busy day yesterday, I apologize for not being able to answer all your comments and to comment all your fabulous pictures !! I will try to catch up as soon as possible but since I’m officially on vacation with my sons my activity on flickr will be rather slow for the next few days …
See you soon my friends and have an amazing day !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
One of the most photographed places in Sifnos island is Chrysopigi monastery. It sits on top of a rock right between 2 beautiful beaches, Platis Gialos and Apokofto. Chrysopigi was built in 1650 and that makes it one of the oldest monasteries in the Aegean. This is the main entrance to the monastery and in the future I will definitely post at least one photo where you can see just how beautiful the location is.
Macro Mondays -- "Dutch angle"
I thought this was a really challenging theme. It wasn't so much the shooting of it that was challenging but mostly finding a good object. I tried out quite a few till finally I thought of lipstick tubes. It was fun to pull out my lipsticks that have been sitting in a drawer for a few months since neither staying at home nor mask wearing are conducive to wearing lipstick.
Taken just before the blue hour kicked in along a stretch of canal in my home city of Nottingham. These apartments are mostly privately owned but can you believe some students live here? It's a far cry from the squalor I lived in during my degree days that's for sure. The guys I lived with were complete slobs too.
Anyway as I'm sure you'll agree it's not a bad place to live :)
As the sun set there were some beautiful clouds one day whose colour mimic those found in my bird of paradise. HSS
Her dress has sunflowers on the pockets so this seemed like the right thing to wear to go cut your own sunflowers.
And she's clearly outstanding in her field. [/bad_joke]

My MM subject failed on pretty much all accounts. My ISOs were too high from a previous shot and I forgot to check. The heart (less than an inch) kept moving about (I had attached it to a longer chain which I stuck on the window with tape) so I couldn't photo stack and I couldn't use a different aperture as I didn't want the background to show. I had many things on my list today and didn't have much time for this and the light was fading. Can you believe that in the back of the heart a rainbow appeared due to a passing thunderstorm and I could not combine the two in one image? Lots of bad words! In the end I went with b&w because the blown out highlights didn't seem that bad then.

Captured in a ‘Dutch Angle’, this old fashioned grater is ages old, being originally passed down from my long gone mother. I remember using it as a little kid many years ago on such things as cheese and carrots etc and it’s still used regularly for these very items! Amazingly, it still looks in excellent condition - the quality of ‘Sheffield Stainless Steel’, I imagine.
This is from one of my recent visits to a garden nursery. I was attracted to the edge of a polytunnel by a splash of bright colour. When I looked closer, the colour was from plant pots and labels. There was a small green plant stoically growing in each plant pot. The plants weren’t for sale. So I smiled at myself because I thought I’d found exactly what I was looking for, some colourful bedding plants. Appearances once more deceptive. I’ve rotated the image so it’s at the “Dutch Angle”. The merits of the latter are a bit of a challenge, given the time I spend editing photographs to straighten horizons.
Macro f/6.3. It was actually shot with a Sony telephoto lens @ 525mm APS-C. I was standing maybe 7-8 feet from the grasshopper. Love this lens.
The wildflower is a cocklebur.
Grasshopper is/was 2" long. Image is approximately 2.75" W x 1.85" H.
