  • Selective color. I could die happy if I never see another mostly
b&w picture with something colorized in it.

I'm glad some one else was brave enough to say that first - the selective color trick makes me gag - everytime!

The ducks....

Oh my God, the ducks.......
 
While going to photography school in New Hampshire, I ran into this topic.

One of the profs Mark F., who only shot fine art b&w 4 x 5, had won a major award. The photo was of a stream with a rock sticking out of it with ice on top. the rock was wet and black the ice was lager than the rock and had snow on top it. At the awards ceremony the interviewer asked what was going through Mark's mind. She asked was he trying to represent a microcosm of the macrocosm as an abstract representation of existence? Marks reply was HUH! no I was just thinking about the branch in my eye!

We were never allowed to turn in pictures of wet rocks or falls in that class because Mark did not like them, too easy and redundant.

Ask a scientist and a young boy "What makes a clock work?", and one comes with a tray full of micro gears, cams, levers and a 100-paged thesis and the other comes with 2 AA sized batteries.

Complexity makes life simple, Simplicity in itself is complex! (I made this up!)

I am surprised I did not get more grief for my answer.
I had just finished PDN's Photo Annual edition (May '07)
It seemed to me every category had some African Misery in it.

I'll second the retching caused by spot color in b/w; ESPECIALLY in wedding images with their vivid flowers and corpse like couples

I took this with my Leica, Cartier advised me on the shoot.



Ok, I actually took it with my little Olympus P&S, I admit it.

Most cliched photographic theme has got to be Leica M8 owners
constantly posting B&W photos of very boring subject, I mean, my
God !!! these people paid £1000's of dollars for a camera that
cannot take a decent colour picture ;-)

(BTW, leica owners, before you douse me in petrol and set fire to
me, this is a joke)

Black moles do not destroy information.
 
Not if they are all unlit, at an angle, and have terrible backgrounds like this one! Lol. Nice baby though.

I agree, anyone can take a decent picture of a bird in the water. Here's mine to prove the point.

The other over done one is pans, I mean anyone can do them and they're all boring aren't they.
