P52-9-51 Techique: Dutch angle
Posted By: Tsukiouji, 07-05-2021, 01:54 PM

The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot which involves setting the camera at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame. This produces a viewpoint akin to tilting one's head to the side. In cinematography, the Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed.

Tips and references:
What is Dutch tilt in photography?

Photos for the Week #51 competition are to be taken between Jul 5 and Jul 11.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-9 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera. But no phones, please.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.

And if you've been to the Netherlands, you'd know that the 'Dutch Angle' photograph is the only way to get shots of Dutch "mountains"!

All this time I've been trying to keep my camera level. I can't say I really like the Dutch Angle, but I'm going to try to remember to shoot one this weekend.

Somehow I never participate in this challange, but i could not not enter in this one.
This is a double Dutch angle as it has an angle and it’s seen through my eyes/lens giving it a Dutch angle as I am Dutch.

So the Dutch tilt is actually German? That is why they call it the Dutch tilt, interesting.

I know that when a lot of German immigrants were relocating to the US (late 19th century) some of them ended up being nicknamed "Dutch". I assume that was because Dutch immigrants came much earlier, and the German languages sounded a lot like Dutch to people who understood neither language. That is of course a guess. I also found this referenced on the internet : Dutch, not an uncommon nickname, seems to be used for a variety of reasons. It could be because a person is connected to Holland, or because a person is of German descent. Here, "Dutch" is from "Deutsch," the German-language word for "German.".

Not crazy about this, but we need bad images too so the good ones can look even better
