This picture is mildly infuriating. Such a pretty picture, but taken at a nauseating angle.

Is [this](https://ibb.co/P4nY9gR) better?

It’s really not that crooked it’s just the way the lake is and everything my phone was sideways completely


Jacrispybrisket

I have been to Maroon Bells on multiples occasions and I don’t recall the lake or mountain being sideways lol. Maybe it would look this way if I took a good dose of shrooms.


FishermanStunning192

I actually don’t think I meant to take it sideways like that now that I think about it just got done with the crater lake hike when I took that one and I booked it so I was gassed out


Jacrispybrisket

Haha I’m sorry everyone is flaming you for the picture it is just funny.


FishermanStunning192

You live and learn didn’t know it was such a huge thing in photography I love photography well nature photography


tilt-a-whirly-gig

I actually like taking pics on an angle. It works best if the image contains an obvious reference line for level (like the water in your pic), and then if I display the print I do it with the frame/print tilted but the image itself level.


FishermanStunning192

Still a 120 likes so I’ll take it


KnotiaPickles

It is a gorgeous shot!! Lol


Girthw0rm

You’re trying to tell us the lake is crooked?


FishermanStunning192

I’m trying to tell you I’ve been drinking the more I reply I’m in aspen just enjoying it you live and learn won’t do it anymore


FishermanStunning192

To me and my eyes didn’t look crooked but then again I’m cross eyed lol jk


Bl1nk9

Otherwise it would be a river.


poopshoes_mcgee

Sorry to break it to you, but that ain't the case


FishermanStunning192

I’ve been drinking I don’t remember how I took the photo I’m on a vacation trip


KnotiaPickles

Oh come on lol, I lived in aspen for years and know that lake exists on the same regular plane as all other lakes!😝


ActuallyUnder

Yer shits all crooked


DanoPinyon

Did the tripod tip over and this was the only picture you got?


thisguyfightsyourmom

Were you passing out from oxygen deprivation?


FishermanStunning192

Na I love it in Colorado I used to hike way worse hikes in the mountains


TheTrub

Are you suffering from that taco-neck disease that Shaq developed in the 90’s? (We’re just messing with you OP. Not the best camera angle, but still a nice view)


FishermanStunning192

I know y’all are now it just originally flew over my head


FishermanStunning192

Didn’t get what ya mean but that’s just my style a little bit with some pictures


keebler_e

*tilts head* ah that's better


FishermanStunning192

Some pictures I like to take like this just my style


Fr33Flow

It’s called the Dutch angle and it best for cars and people. Mountains not so much.


sonnypatriot75

Best for the Grinch who stole Xmas


The_Mysterious_Mr_E

It's the pond that gets me.


Palaeos

See also: Dutch angles.


soapyshinobi

Your style is dumb. Lol


Make_FL_QC_Again

I get it! It maximises the length of river shown


FishermanStunning192

Thank you just a style for myself I picked up on not all my lake photos etc are like this I took other straight photos


sonnypatriot75

That’s that Dutch Angle


bootstrapping_lad

Are you Christopher Nolan and am I in a dream?


FishermanStunning192

You in a dream


bootstrapping_lad

That explains the flying then, thanks!


FishermanStunning192

Fever dream to be exact it’s lucid also


Kharn0

Clearly OP is left-leaning politically


FishermanStunning192

But understood the joke lol


FishermanStunning192

Independent


sebnukem

This is the 3rd landscape photo I see with a non-horizontal horizon. Is this some kind of meme, statement, fashion, avant-garde art that I should be aware of?


FishermanStunning192

Idk man didn’t know it was a bad thing till now like I said live and learn


sebnukem

I don't know if it's a bad thing. The picture is beautiful.


FishermanStunning192

My main thing was trying to get the reflection of the mountains in the lake just was hard with this lake


sebnukem

Now I understand. Thank you.


FishermanStunning192

Never seen others do it


rpecot

Was there 2 days ago. Great hike up to Crater Lake!


FishermanStunning192

I’m doing crystal mill tomorrow


FishermanStunning192

Wasn’t as bad as what I heard I booked it up there though


hundredblocks

Of the 70,000 maroon bells photos on Reddit, this is the best one. The composition, lighting, clarity. It’s all there. Even captured the 45 degree slope at maroon lake that all the other photos fail to show.


jwed420

Lots of snow up there still. Would be cool to see glaciers begin to form again in Colorado. Sadly, that won't be the case.


FishermanStunning192

Only seen a little bit of snow coming up independence pass


jwed420

Yeah those areas melt out pretty good in the summer. The snow remaining on the Bells is resting on top of ancient glaciers though. The oozing looking rock slide you see in this photo, was once a large glacier sliding into the valley we now hike.


FishermanStunning192

I didn’t fish I seen one person trying to fish maroon bells but they said f that after me warning them about the wardens walking up and down the place I would die to fish there though


phyridean

It's pretty obvious that all the people in here flaming OP are transplants who haven't ever been up to the lake while the Maroon Bells are being rung.


COmountainguy

Good grief. All these people in here belly aching about your camera angle need to go spend some time relaxing in the mountains and quit complaining about how they look in a picture.


MostlyStoned

How was the fishing at the lake?


mikmeh

Sawtooths in Idaho are better


Throwaway-646

FWIW, I think it's really pretty as it is, OP! I think the angle adds to the photo


FishermanStunning192

I was mainly trying to get the reflection in the lake


FishermanStunning192

It’s a hit or miss with people honestly when I do take photos like this
