these aren't funny, half of the "don't" ones are better than the "do" ones. almost all of them are, they are more interesting.

I disagree with majority of these and I'm a photographer.

#7- don't you remember one of the basic photography rules? Rule of Thirds.


#61- What decent photographer takes pictures of cell phones?!


#65- The so called "wrong" picture is more artistic than the "right".


#52- So what if I want to photograph a dead flower...


#78- Wow...i mean...geez. Not all of us are flawless, jerk.

You should use the rule of thirds or the golden rule to align the subject of the photo off centre, rather than centre the subject.

But most of all ... while creating an art there is one main rule... it is not all about right and wrong, it is all about the vision... Have a good one!

blur · 7 months ago

why would you post this. there are no rules to photography. its an art. granted sometimes people are stupid about taking photos but its still a photograph containing expression and an artist's view.

this is terrible.

Mel · 7 months ago

Okay... i cannot back away from saying how this is not something anyone starting out in photography should read....
I apologize to the person who posted this, but there are so many things wrong with what's been posted

1.) Rule of thirds. Learn it, use that when focusing on a point, it will allow you to have a larger range in terms of depth of field, and allow you to concentrate on your focal point more efficiently.
2.) The things you are trying to mention about capturing, and not capturing when taking photographs.... Some of these issues are unavoidable depending on your situation and location, and every other factor that is beyond your control. Unless you somehow use a studio at all times.
3.) landscape photography is just that.....unless you specifically want a human in the photo do not wait to capture it when there is someone, its like having a bug on your lens otherwise
4.) Over exposure and under exposure can be a great way to enhance certain aspects of a photo, its just like playing with lighting angles.
5.) Using a flash. Not something anyone I've ever known has overly recommended when it comes to photos. It way over brightens areas unless you are using a diffuser, and even then, can still have scorching, and hot spots. If you do use a flash, you should invest in a high end one.
6.) Yes.... we do know that trying to capture something is good...please don't make us feel like idiots when it comes to not managing to get something in the frame because it happened to move a bit too quickly.

... and last but not least, don't listen to what anyone else says about right and wrong when it comes to photography. Its a personal vision, do what you want with it.

rakeif · 7 months ago

I don't agree with quite a few of these. Doing things wrong makes things interesting.

dsf · 7 months ago

yeah.... this post is basically crap since alot of them are wrong.... plus bad weather especially rain, overcast, whatsoever is a fantastic time to take photographs due to bouncing light and you can get some very aesthetically pleasing photographs that come out of photography taken in bad weather... this post is not something to read when you want to learn photography

ellie · 7 months ago

hey you suck. so many of the "wrong" photographs are awesome. you have no soul.

Mimi · 7 months ago

Okay, I suppose it's possible I'm the one missing the point - but I think that in fact a lot of the comments posters are missing the point. The oversimplification is just plain funny - I can't imagine that the person who created this piece doesn't know that in fact it's often far more visually appealing when the photographer has done x, y, or z which he's listed here as "wrong". But pretending (I assume) to simplify everything to such an extreme is funny. Pure and simple. And some of the pictures are hilarious.

dude · 5 months ago

really, if you want to be a good photographer you should learn everything you can. Understand everything you can achieve with a camera and then go out and take those shots. There are no rights and wrongs when you're the one trying to get the shot YOU want. I know the post was supposed to be helpful, but if anyone follows this strictly they limit their ability and potential to capture something honest and unique or even more so any type of feel they want.

But yeah i guess if this is a post for non-serious photographers otherwise "idiots" then i guess this is pretty helpful advice when not trying to think about what you actually want to do, but take a quick nice shot.

Briliant... simple and practical advice in an easilly understood form with clear examples. Now you too can take completely normal and boring photos that look just like a trillion others and will be easilly forgotten in under 2 minutes. But unless you really are a complete brain dead moron you already knew that didn't you? What a complete waste of bytes and bandwidth! Now I'm also stating the obvious... maybe we really are seeing the decline of civilization and the devolution of humankind? We had a renaissance half a millenium ago... now where are we!?! OK lets try to be constructive... here's a suggestion... live dangerously... why not tonight instead of having your daily bath a 6:00pm, leave it 'till 7:30!

The "obvious" ones were funny. Some were just puzzling: why does the car need to be moving (that's actually really hard to do)? Why is it better to have people in landscapes? My favorites were the odd ones: when you photograph onions, or sausages, or whatever.

redhairsword · 5 months ago

Most of these rules are for taking pictures that are comprehensible.
If you want to take pictures that are "artistic" you should have a good base in what is normal and easy to understand before you start trying to work outside those confines.
Sure, you can mess around like Mann Ray with your photos, but you should have an understanding of what you're doing first.
I can't understand anyone getting all angry about rules like "don't photograph drunk." "Remember to remove the lens cap" and "Don't get your shadow in the picture."

Rana · 5 months ago

This is hilarious! Also hilarious are the comments from people who take this seriously. It's a JOKE, people!

I can't believe that this actually needs to be explained - it's pretty obvious!

Paul Pacurar · 5 months ago

I don't agree with all these rules. I mean, yes, for complet Idiots seem ok (although.. why shouldn't they make some artistic nice photos... by chance!? (breakin' the rules)). for example, rule two: some of best compositions have some distracting elements which avoid the eye looking directly on the main subject. They create a sort of progression.. it's very effective.

Uli · 5 months ago

good job and more than 90%, when filtering the humor in it, are really helpful. ;o)
but with point 16 i totally disagree.
Portraits in bright sun should be made against the light but with assistance of a flashlight to lighten the person up.
if you take the photos with the sun in your back, the person is allways blinking due to the too bright light.
and point 7 - no, the center is a boring place for a person in portrait. try to use the simple "two-thirds-rule"

Good guidelines for not sucking, but that's a pretty low aspiration.
I know you're not serious about this, but in case there are any budding artists reading, try ignoring the individual guidelines selectively to make your pictures interesting.
if you deconstruct cinema frames, you'll notice how much depth you can add to an image by the choices you make on each one of these points.

sean · 5 months ago

some good rules there, and some good contrast in your images. yet, 75% of the pictures are centered, talk about boring. Try using the golden ratio or rule of thirds in a few of them. Or if you insist on centering make sure the focal point is just off center, it makes for a more interesting image. also, you can have diagionals in a picture and it can still work.

I personaly think that photography is something that needs to be expressed. These are some good tips yes. But without thinking outside the box, your photos are going to be nothing new and interesting. For example on 52, I find the dead flower more interesting than the alive one. The alive one is to boring, to normal. It could have been a better perhaps to the side a little more like the rude of thirds. If anyone of you reading this doesn't know the rule of thirds. I would highly suggest looking it up. It can improve your photography so much more.

the whole point of rules is to break them and do the opposite, creativity is only expressed by being original

Art itself is ridiciulous if you think about it, its the only way in which a famous person can do something that is absolutly shit and people will think wow thats good....like a picture of a toilet, was worth £100,000!! for a picture of where he/she has just walked into the bathroom taken a picture aand people are like woowwwww he's really used the composition rules there.NO he hasnt, he walked into his bathroom on the way for a piss and though "hmmm i bet il get payed loads of this" *snap* "suckers"

Haha, this was brilliant! I laughed, even though I was mortally offended at the same time. Btw, turn these rules upside down and you have 78 steps to perfect lomography!

Funny, many times your "wrong" photos are so much better then the "right" ones.
Can't you see this?
