Shooting at an angle to the horizon - Term

[jamesev]

Whats the term in Photogrpahy where you shoot at an angle to the horizon ot ground. I though I read about it somewhere but can't remember

[milosh]

Dutch angle perhaps?

Annoying angle?

They used it in Thor and it just seemed so pointless. All it did was deliberately make you notice the camera angle.

Shooting while under the influence.

[nickbedford]

I sometimes take portraits at things like parties and whatnot on a slant, but it's maybe 10 degrees and often is used to fit short and talk people in. I firmly stand by the fact that 95% of photographs should be oriented to that of gravity

And usually I've had a few drinks at that stage.

I go with "annoying angle." Like HDR, vignetting, and selective focus; it is appropriate at times. However, it has been overused way too much lately.

I go with the "One leg is shorter than the other" angle.
