Your worst work

As was brilliantly suggested by Unpopular in a different thread lets see everyone's worst shots. Here's a selection of mine.

Innards, yellow kids, garbage cans and blown skies, hand over the lens... Ya, these really suck! :mrgreen:

Because there just isn't such a thing as too much HDR.

And everyone knows that wasp hives look better with Orton process!

Random beams are always good!

If it doesn't work in color, it almost always will in fake cyanotype!

Or if an image goes beyond your post processing abilities, try sepia!

I'm not even sure what I had in mind with this one. Being that it was a panoramic, I had something in mind...

I love your comments!

Love the beam and the pano. I've got those shots where you look back and think "I don't know what the hell this was supposed to be?!"

Snowbear were you ordering a three finger highball or were you already drunk?

Oh this could get fun. I recently went through many of my older photos and WOW I can't believe some of the crap I took and thought was good. I did keep one for laughter value will post later.

This is pretty bad. And I have a few that look pretty much the same!

In my defence, it was taken in 2007 just before I properly decided to take photography more seriously. And it was with a Canon Powershot A75. Piece of poo!

Worst work? Just go to my Flickr page! About 90% of it isn't even MWAC-quality! :lmao:

I toss most of the truly bad stuff as I get ready to process, but I just happened to be working on some shots from a soccer tournament this weekend, and hadn't yet culled out the useless stuff. Some of it literally made me shake my head in disbelief.

Before I post my "Trilogy of Awful" soccer series, I'd like say in my defense:
--I've just started shooting sports
--The game was at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning; they had to be at the field at 7:15 a.m., which meant we had to leave the hotel by about 6:35 a.m.
--I'd had ONE cup of coffee.
And finally--no, there's really NO excuse. I think my hand tremor must have been acting up that morning and sometimes my finger just twitched and accidentally hit the shutter. Yeah, THAT's the ticket.
