stipe Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I took this picture and now I realised to be in kind of trouble as I found myself unable to describe it properly. Can you help me, guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baarney Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 An interesting "slant" on what looks like a fairly typical San Francisco street scene. It would probably be more likely to sell if oriented correctly. I admire your creativity, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stipe Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks! So, you think from such a point of view this is not a potentially sell image on Alamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 +1 for Baarney. I've seen the same adjustment with the frame on images shot in Pisa. This looks good but as you are aware it's hard to caption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks! So, you think from such a point of view this is not a potentially sell image on Alamy? You never know. It could easily illustrate an article about optical illusions, or the way we try to reconcile two conflicting pieces of information, or ???

John Mitchell Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 A search of Alamy using the term "tilted view" brings up a lot of images, so how about something like "Tilted view of a typical steep San Francisco street with old apartment buildings and parked cars." You could then add terms such as "optical illusion," "slanted," oblique, "bay windows," etc. in the keywords. This might also be a good image for a print on demand website IMO.

No problem, a few other possible keywords that come to mind are "unexpected," "surprising," "perspective," diagonal," drunken," "leaning," and so on.

Johnnie5 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This may give you some ideas. http://www.pbase.com/dang_57/the_streets_of_san_francisco_but_flat Difficult thing to keyword. I searched "street leveled in san francisco photo" to find this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 You should have taken two photos - roof horizontal and car park horizontal. Both would be saleable for different purposes / twists. Find a lot of words covering "tilted" "diagonal" "skewed" view, point of view, etc. as also proposed by others. Niels PS I hope they don't have icy / slippery road / car park surfaces there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Quist Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Unfortunately I am far from a native speaker of English. But even in a foreign language I like to have a go at making puns / play on words. You native people will do so much better, I am quite sure you will enjoy improving these or add more. The best ones may even be worth using as search phrases.When the car is (more) important to you.It all depends on how you look at it.Try my point of view.Look at it my way.
