everyone has a few facebook "friends" who clain themselves photographers. Their mom bought them a t2i or an other popular reflex on special at best buy and now they shoot away on auto and call themselves photographers.

Anyways we all know you have some of those friends: example John smith photographer. Post some examples of their shitty pictures.

I think the part that makes me lol even more about it is the consistently terrible use of watermarks.

I'm not known for my use of text either, but seriously, if their photos are gonna be complete shit, they should at least try to create a decent watermark.

That's actually cool to hear from another photographer. Yeah, its her photography profile, not her normal facebook. Out of all of the "photographers" on facebook, I actually think she could go places. Hell, she's already doing random shoots and people are paying for it. I'm jealous.

Honestly these people really piss me off. Especially like someone already said they'll take a picture with their t2i that their mom bought them and edit it poorly, smack a shitty watermark on it and call themselves a photographer.

Oh! Another one that pisses me off is soccer moms who also think they're "Photographers". I sell food at soccer events to pay for all my photography stuff. Countless times a mom will come up with a friggin 70-200 2.8 on a D7000 or even once a 5D mark II and I'll compliment them on it and try to talk photography if I'm bored or something. Every time they have no idea what they're talking about and the conversation ends with them saying something like "oh ya I just let the camera do all the work for me!"

Link to this facebook page? Looks epic. Is that the location thrown across the top? and the CMP is the watermark? Truly epic.

its a god damm kids party and there are huge scary shadows in the picture making it look like they are being looked over by evil. you have to keep the intent in mind when shooting photos or else it just turns out like shit, which this did

the thing I hate even more is one my friend, when he is taking my camera (a simple d40) always try to get a tree, a leaf, or anything really close to the lens and put it out of focus and I always tell him it looks like shit, but he doesn't understand.. let me show you....

Its her personal facebook page, so I'm not gonna link to it. I feel bad just putting that up there...but I've struggled with not opening my mouth and just let her do her thang.

For shits n giggles (not really, more like pulling my hair out)

In her defense, she takes some sick photos sometimes. Her problem is not picking out the select few that are great, she's gotta post all 200 and writes essays to any reply she gets.

cool idea, poor execution though. i never understand why people take the time to watermark and upload photos that are entirely out of focus...that's something people are supposed to be ashamed of, not proud of. to all shitty photographers out there: you don't HAVE to upload every single picture you take.
