➽ The Sunday Challenge (TSC) - This week, your mission should you choose to accept it is:

read through the challenge ideas thread and pick yourself a challenge that hasn't been ticked or registered as done

You may not use a challenge you posted yourself, or a similar one to your own posted by someone else.
Say who's challenge you chose and why, i.e because it's easy, :) or because you wanted to learn something new and have a go at something different to what you usually like to do.
______________________

I've tried to do "Dutch angle", which Ann Roberts had suggested, because I never heard the term before and it sounded interesting to me.

From Wikipedia: "The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, oblique angle or German angle, is a type of camera shot where the camera is set 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..."

hahaha - ja, wahrscheinlich.
Ich fand ja das Thema ganz interessant, war aber gar nicht so einfach - meine meisten Versuche sahen einfach nur wie schiefe Fotos aus. Hier war ich dann einigermaßen zufrieden - s/w und noch a bisserl "Filmkörnung" dazu, jetzt geht's so! ;-D

Travelling with the D-train (do they still run?) with the Dutch (or better Deutsch) angle?
Great result in BW

I'm not sure - some express trains were called "D-Zug" but today I think they were replaced by names like "Eurocity, Intercity, Interregio etc."

An approach I often utilise myself Dida although I only found out through TSC that what I was doing was actually a named style of photography and one that you've executed here with great panache! :)

Yes, sometimes one uses a different angle, but I must say, if you want to do it "deliberately", it's not easy to find an appropriate motif. Anyway this happened to me! ;-D

Dida From Augsburg club has replied to LutzP club
...ja - deswegen hab ich's gewählt - mal wieder was neues! Aber, ich muss echt sagen, war gar nicht so einfach, wie's klingt - hab etliche Versuche gemacht und die meisten sahen für mich einfach nur wie "schiefe" Fotos aus! ;-DD
