Hey, Ken - who could ever tire of such images? You say "my kitty." I am hoping that means you rescued the poor, sad, critter so that it is not so sad any more.

I agree - swat them, then sautee' them in a good onion and red wine sauce, broil at 350 for 7 minutes... mmmm! Yum! Yum!
Now I have work to do. I must raise the money for the 1Ds! No more time to squander on forums, not even highly intellectual and morally satisfying ones such as this.

All kinds of old camera and motion picture bodies, lenses, tripods, enlargers, mostly gathering dust, because digital is immediate! NO Canon 1200mm f/5.6.

Broil at 350 for 7 minutes? Not much fly left. Unless that sticky tongue coating helps to keep the good juices in.
What could be more satisfying than a mouthful of flies for a frog? A belly-full?

Ok so you're tired of all these. What do you want to see then?
Dogs, Grand canyon, last pictures with old camera, Concrete slabs, small pectorals of westereners... You get the drift. What is a worthy subject for photos (digital or not)?
Most amateurs will not spend countless hours looking at picture of others and try to emulate them.
If I see somthing I like, I try to take a picture that shows it the way I see it. It can be one of the thing in your list or whatever, I get great staisfation when I snap one that I like. If someone else likes it that's good too. If I'm especially proud of it then I'll show it to others. So what if it is a picture of a cute cat, or a spider (I like spiders
Anyway here's the question again what is a worthy subject?
Oh and thanks for the perspective.

Since dogs are a bit more active beasties (at least more than most cats) and now the 2nd most popular pet in the USA I do not see pics of them being quite as overdone, but it is a close call.
Grand Canyon is definitely on the 'no one gets any point for originality' list when shooting from the rim. Plus, the pollution there ruins most of the long shots now anyway.
Well last pictures with the old camera if it is just before the bus impacts the photographer or the ground rushing up at the photographer would be interesting.
My good concrete slab (and beams) picture has been removed from photo.net so I cannot show you, but, yes, good pics of concrete slabs, at this point, are more interesting than cats. But here is another that at least involves concrete slabs and a sleepy (or bored) Polar Bear.

Actually, I like small breasted women and enjoy seeing them naked as often as possible no matter where they come from (hey ladies, my eMail address is located just above this posting - hint, hint
). Now if they are self-portraits that is damn interesting. Also, even though that was the most facetious item on the list, I do find the fact that since it is mostly male photographers and that almost all the women are well-endowed (whether naturally or surgically) is a rather telling point (not surprising, though) about my half of the species. Plus, everyone knows that the neck, shoulders, and back are the best damn parts on hot chicks. Its not a matter of what is a worthy subject. That is up to each indivdual. What I was getting at was that with our ability to share images on the web it has become obvious how little real creativity any of us have and challenging folks to think outside the box (of kittens) for those going to be shown to the entire world.
True. Even, though it is probably one of the best methods for learning technique, especially in the studio.
Good for you. That is exactly what you should be doing.
Well, here is the rub. If you are posting your cat picture for specific advice on how to get the shot you wanted or you have captured some unique aspect of cathood, then I see the point of showing it to everyone in the world as opposed to your own little local bevy of folks. However, if it is merely a good picture of a cat you will bore me (and others, I am sure) with your lack of creativity. Not that I don't suffer from a lack of creativity myself, either. In a sense I guess it is a matter of are you showing pictures because they are important to you or because they may be important to others.If someone else likes it that's good too. If I'm especially proud of it then > I'll show it to others. So what if it is a picture of a cute cat, or a spider > (I like spiders
For personal use anything you want is fine with me. I just think people have beat certain subjects to death to the point that even though they are technically perfect and of a beautiful subject the images are ultimately boring within this community.
Antelope Canyon is the perfect example. I can see going there, taking pictures, and showing them to friends. If I had a specific few that I had attempted to capture something in particular and did not know why I failed I would ask for input which would require me to post my examples. But to post them 'for your enjoyment' and to ask for 'all comments welcome' is just so passe'. Especially since, like I said in the original post, there is rarely an uninteresting scene for 500 miles in any direction. Goodness gracious you'd think S UT & N AZ were nothing more than Bryce, Zion, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and Arches from looking at most people pictures from the area. What about the hundreds of miles of road between those places and all the beautiful scenery along them? What about the other national parks, national monuments, state parks, etc.? See these (even though several are not all that great photos) for a few roadside attractions.

Your welcome. I do wish the discussion had been a bit more, um, serious than it has turned out, but, so far, it is a thread that won't die.Oh and thanks for the perspective.

P.S. I just realized I left one item off my original list. I am sick and tired of Monument Valley, too. The are plenty of other good rocks nearby. Do we all have to take the same picture and show it to everybody in the world from the Visitor Center? You know a scene is overdone if commercials use it on a regular basis. (Or, in the case of Antelope Canyon, they make a fake one as in that drug commercial).

Yes but when you rent the indian on a horse and photograph him on horseback on the bluff with the monuments in the background you get such a unique and interesting picture I cast my vote for that one as the most boring park picture available.

Not a self portrait, but I think I can help you out here:Actually, I like small breasted women and enjoy seeing them naked

Excellent pics, I must say!
Doh! There you said it. Here we go --
Why yes, there are!
And, while I'm at it, MEOW!
By the way, all this is in good fun -- I certainly understand your point, but I recommend relaxing on the big-breasted European requirement. Even if you like small pecs via self portrait, you gotta love them Euro shots! : )

Thank you. Quite proud of them actually. (For another thread: And proof of the power of the EVF live previewing. These are 1 month into ownership of the D7 and ,before the D7, my camera for the previous 15 years had ZERO manual controls - unless you count composition).

Hi Rikster and everyone.
Well, I've just finished uploading around 60 new portraits and glamour images to my website - including a few of an Eastern European model - Sandra from Lithuania.
Those sick and tired of Eastern European models please ignore this post. Anyone else can click on http://www.pauljones.org/ to visit.

LOL, yes this thread was necessary, the essentials have been said I guess.
And thats my top 5 list of the most hated:
1.) dumb cats that look stupidly through an almosed closed something
2.) the 3-zillionth boring perfect macro shot of a flower - its forbidden from now on!
3.) Pathetic shots of "my new Toyota blabla"
4.) My first pic with... [new purchased and 5th camera in 13 month].
5.) Stars and stripes shots with pathetic comments (sorry - for us non- Americans this will always remain very strange!
Well that isn´t really meant cynical, we all know that allready this very minute all over the world happy shooters post their flowers with bees, kitties and 1st shots of their new car to some innocent photosite, and they will be proud of both the cam and the car - and, after all that´s life.... So shoot on)

What's the matter, Mike, don't you like Nexium, showing an Antelope canyon mock-up as the lining of the stomach or esophagus, lined with relieved-looking people, as the walls close together? That's a unique view of Northern Arizona, if I've ever seen one! Hope to see this for myself on my next visit down there. Must be a new attraction at the Navajo reservation, 'Gastric Acid World', or something. I'm heading back to Bryce (and maybe Zion) tomorrow, and will take a couple shots just for you! I'm going to try to explore Cedar Breaks Nat'l Monument, which actually will be more interesting than the more over-photographed areas. This is my first time venturing into te 'Open Talk' forum, and was glad to find this delicious thread! I've certainly done my best to contribute to the over-exposure (not photographically, I hope) of images of the Four Corners area. Have to get to work on the large-chested Eastern European yard birds, or something, next.

BOOOOOORRRRRRINNNNNNGGGGG!
I've been there. Kind of like Bryce, but higher. Is the road still open? It snows early up there.
You shoot plenty all over the area as opposed to just the big ticket items. Wish it all was just a few hours south of me. You have my blessing to continue.
