This is a sarcastic article. I am fed up with photography sites regurgitating the same garbage over and over again - publishing their articles with misleading headings to catch attention. No matter what, they end up re-iterating "use the rule of thirds", "try a different angle", "capture candid moments", etc. etc.
However, here is something that a sincere user posted somewhere on Digg:
If you know how to defend your photos, you don't need to learn how to take good photos. Here's how to defend your photo to make it look good:
- Weird = Abstract
- Overexposed = High key
- Badly composed = Lomo style
- Overprocessed = Artistic HDR
- Snapshot = Capturing the moment
- Shaky hands = Dramatic blurring
And thats why the photo that you thought looked awful got high ratings on Flickr.
