This is for all the folks out there who, just like me, spend too much time on the Web reading about photography and looking at people's pictures trying to get better at this thing of ours.

I am guilty of several of these. Just go here to see.
http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=378035

In no particular order...
  • Cats
Kittens are more tolerable except when in something like a basket or if bows of any sort are involved. Pictures of my cats prove they are, of course, the absolute best ever. Do you want to see some?
  • Antelope Canyon
It is a million variations of about 4 different shots (the basic well exposed shot, the shaft of light shot, bright areas and nearly black sections, ring of black around a bright area). Do we really need 1,000,000 different photographers from everywhere in the world going there when just about every square inch for 500 miles in every direction is the most fantastical landscape on the planet? Of course, 99% time you can bet your going to see Bryce Canyon and probably Zion in the same set of photos. I'm just saying. :)
  • First Pictures With New Camera
If your are an early adopter its your duty to post early pictures though the first are often not the really worthy of the time. Everyone else is just being lame. I am fairly certain I did this, too. :)
  • Flowers
Ok. If I haven't seen every type of ornamental flower on the planet at least 20 times I would be surprised.
  • Large Chested Models From Eastern Europe
To be truthful I am not really sick of these, but am just worried that the increased population density of large chested models from Eastern Europe caused by the number of Eastern European photographers on photo.sig will some how destabilize the Earth's orbit and send us all plummeting into the Sun. I guess that would, at least, solve the Iraq problem in a fair and even manner.
  • Backyard Birds (possibly only those of North America)
Same problem as flowers. We may have literally seen all the hummingbirds in the USA. Lets just lump squirrels in here and get it over with.
  • Sunrise/Sunset Without Any Other Subject
Just follow this simple rule: Don't take pictures of the sunrise and sunset, take pictures of SOMETHING at sunrise or sunset.
  • Bees/Dragonflys/Lady Bugs/Praying Mantisses
There are maybe 6 million species of insects of which 2000 are Mantisses, 4000 are Lady Bugs, 5000 are Dragonflies, and about 35,000 are Bees. How about a more pictures of the other 5, 964,000 species.

Lol, not much I can add to that list;

I'm sure that I have seen way too many pictures in the "i just got a new camera" category, and the "flowers and bees and cats too"

For the most part I agree, but i'm not as familiar with this one; you should post samples to convince us of their prevalence. ;-)

anyway, good to keep people reminded that originality is in fact what we're all about.
 
Originality and creativity apply to Photography as much as to other forms of arts.

Hi Mike

No joke - but I actually did a 2 hour shoot with a large chested model from Eastern Europe on Wednesday night.

Her name was Sandra, she was from Lithuainia and she was simply 'stunning' - the most beautiful girl I've photographed so far.

All the photos are on my hard-drive. I haven't got round to printing them or uploading some to my website yet. But when I do, I'll make sure to not post any here ;-))

Nice post!

PS - if you don't want to see any other 'large chested models' please don't click onto my website.

Best wishes

Paul

I am guilty of all except the canyon and the sunset.

Are small breasted models OK ? I have a few of those.

Have fun

No, but if you have a picture of a large chested East European model with a bee getting nectar from a flower laying between her breasts while she chases a cat with a dragonfly in its mouth down Antelope Canyon at sunset, let me know. Especially if its the first picture with your new camera.

Just an insect, sick of being photographed, with its luxation of the second hip left and a broken antenna right.

But without kidding: If there were only superb pictures, it would spoil my pleasure in photography because I could not make ever one single piece of art. But the so-so pictures of people, family and relatives from the past, are becoming very dear to us as time passes.

I love digital. Put Your pictures on the web where I do not have to see them if I do not actually click on Your link. I hate film. Uncles with slides by the thousands insisting on showing them at all times. I was brought up watching slide shows of no particular interest.
