Now first I don't pretend to be an "expert" on photography or anything like that. But my pet peeve (at least when it comes to photography) is when people post the crappiest photos and border and sig them. By crappy photos, I don't mean not up to Ansel Adam spec, I mean photos which the photographer obviously failed to take any time or execute any thought and just saw something in the viewfinder and hit the shutter. I see crooked photos (not intentionally trying to be artistic) but obvious tilts. I see out of focus photos. Photos with bad composition (subject dead smack in the middle of the frame), photos with distracting elements, etc etc etc. Not to mention overprocessed photos, or photos with extreme color casts and/or uncorrected distortion. Basically photos that look like they were taken while the person was running blindfolded
All of the above is FINE if you are trying to learn and are asking tips and for C&C, but too often people make the same mistakes again and again and again and they just overall rush photography. I think the digital age is to blame for photography-sloppyness.
I hope I do not come off "arrogant" or anything like that cause that's not my intention. I think people need to rethink putting signatures and borders around their pics and pay attention to basic elements of photography such as composition and lighting. Only then you should be allowed to put a signature on your pic :greenpbl:
Thankfully I see a good amount of nice photos here. :thumbup:
