Do you visit the websites making fun of "professionals"

[astroNikon]

You know, in total seriousness... I don't think I can think of a single person on here who deserves to be on that site.

*pffft*

There have been plenty.

Were you here for GiGi Photography?
Or that girl from down under that was banned 6 times?
Think for *a moment*.
But a few got better when they stuck around, and got help.

For us more newcomers ... well .. had to look for Gigi Photography ...

Uhoh. We may have created a monster. I've got tons of bad ones, but really, really bad ones? Gonna have to work at this.

youarenotaphotographer.com is one of my favorite sites

Never been to it. Should be retitled: uninstallphotoshop.com

I honestly didn't realize this level of suck existed.

And now you understand why I visit from time to time.

It's incredible.

It's like watching an episode of Tim and Eric, but they're serious.

To me, it's one thing to discuss bad images and what's bad about them and how to improve them and make them better for the next time. But to simply just bash someone's work, no. Don't count me in on that one.

I have seen them before but I don't visit them regularly or anything. I'm always terrified I'll find one of my own and be totally mortified. lol I'm not sure whether I feel its all in good fun or if its just outright malicious that they even exist. I feel like, most the ones I've seen anyway the images are SO FAR out there that it's got to be a joke.

I'm 90% sure those are serious attempts by people. Which is what makes it 50 times more hilarious.

Call me an a**. I don't care. Everything on that site is effing hilarious.

Why would you assume they're 10 year olds? Most of that stuff is coming from people much older than that from what I gather of a lot of the captions.

Not to mention I *know* someone who is THAT. bad. and they're well into their 30's.

That website isn't out to target 10 year olds. It's targeting photographers who pass themselves as "professionals".

Again... why do you assume that?

It started as a Tumblr blog that was taking submissions from their followers. They still take submissions as far as I'm aware.

Most of what you're seeing is fairly current. If not VERY current.

Whodda thought? Another polarizing topic on TPF, centered around whether or not it's ok to laugh at stupid sh*t.
