tilt camera technique ?

Has anyone used tilt the camera technique in shooting wedding?
is this technique common ?

When it compliments the composition.

I do struggle with using it too much. I'm working on that.

True - you will find a lot of it, most of it poorly done.

There's a time and place for everything I suppose.

yeah, i thought at first that he was asking about tilt(shift) lens use,
but when i re-read he definately says tilting the camera, nothing about the lens.

Bobby, you are certainly the master at using tilt very well at weddings.
and i've seen some nice shift use from Lloyd here recently too!
two awesome ways to take advantage of ts-e lenses in weddings

I was referring to tilt camera not tilt & shift lens.

I've noticed that when I shoot, I tend to favor tilting to the right. It's a godawful habit and can be done well at times, but usually it just looks like an amateur attempt at creativity

Now, tilt-shift is a whole 'nother ball park, and I personally LOVE it.

Tilt was so 2008.....

Tilt with a purpose and do it intentionally so the effects are obvious. Don't do it all the time, IMO don't do it more than about 15-20 degrees unless subjects really need it to emphasize some figurative concept.

...and 2007, and 2006, and 2005... There's a reason it's still around.

However, I agree that it needs to be done right. I'm weening my way out of it. There are still just some comps that beg for it. I mainly use it when lines improve the image or differences in height of subject call for it. So, no one's a complete idiot for doing it, as long as they do it for the right successful and meaningful reasons.

I tell my associates I'd rather them shoot a little wider than tilt the camera. That way, if it makes sense to do so in the album, I've got the extra real estate on the image to tilt. Personally, I think tilting is a fad that will look horrible to the couple one day in the future when they open their album. To me, tilting only works on a single shot for framing but can ruin an album layout. Finally, if you ever hope to see your work published in a magazine, they do not like tilted images.

are you sure magazines don't like tilt images?

Tilt or tilt-shift?

I never got into the whole tilt thing, but I tend more towards the traditional. I'll sometimes use it for very tight close-ups, but even then only rarely.
