I saw this posted on another forum. Thought some of you guys might find this to be a good read.

10 Photography Pet Peeves We’d Throw Down a Black Hole | Raw File | Wired.com

 

I like HDR though...

 

I do too. But I look at it like this, I love the fish eye lens. But would you shoot with it all the time? No. It's the icing on the cake, it's a finishing touch. Just like HDR. When you use it in moderation, it's a perfect touch. I see A LOT of HDR on photography forums ever day. When it's over used, it takes away from the art of "capturing light" and moves it into "computer editing". Your no longer a photographer, but a graphic designer.

 

And I just ordered a fisheye for my G10....

 

With great lenses, comes great responsibility.

 

i hate "JDM angles"
people with the inability to hold their cameras straight during a shot. stroll through the Media forum and you'll see what i'm talking about

 

i hate 50 pics of the same thing

 

Like this pic I took when I was at GMR with a friend?

 

yeah .... since it's a BMW, i guess it's a "DTM angle" haha

there are a few photos with a reasonable amount of "offset" but some are just too much:


sorry for the photo size, i'm too lazy to resize someone else's photo

 

^ i think i broke my neck tilting my head lol

 

that's meee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was the first picture i ever took of my car haha...........i don't use that anymore

 

i've noticed
sorry i used you as an example. i've seen worse in the ep3/gd3 photoshoot posted by trancedsailor a while back but that was buried a long time ago and didn't want to go looking for that. i think there was one pic in there so close to being upside down that i thought he just didn't want to take the time to flip the picture before he posted it

 

i think i'm going to take a pic of my car that's even more jdm slant now!

 

this one?

super jdm slant

 

those aren't too bad, actually... i must've been wrong
maybe it was on NWP or HTech or maybe it was another photo thread.. i confuse all these forums now, too much internets for me brain

 

One thing that really bothers me is the comments made by people on these message boards. It's nice to get a compliment, but I don't want to see "nice shot". I want to know why it's a nice shot. I want to know why you do or do not like it. The only thing that will make a great photographer is to learn from great mistakes. But if no body points those out, he might never learn.

 

Here's a better picture I've taken of a car. It was too bright though. I should have waiting for the sun to go down.

 

the JDM slant, HDR photos, and unnecessarily over-edited photos

 

extra contrast and saturation, check. overly thick black border, check. JDM slant, check. wakka wakka wakka!
