I_Am_Weasel: Pffft. I can take crappier pictures than that.

This. Here's a pic I took of my brother giving his wedding reception speech:

I actually like this one, especially with the misspelled caption:


"revellers outside a club"

Um,

I vote the headline is almost worse.

Strife?

Seriously?

Oh, you Brits, you...

;)

*smooches*

Wow. So uh, they made that an article, huh?

Indubitably: Um,

I vote the headline is almost worse.

Strife?

Seriously?

Oh, you Brits, you...

*smooches*

Agreed. How can you have strife without gonads?

/not obscure

I liked the shot of the Lab.

Ennuipoet: You know, if this guy had only applied an Instagram Filter his shiat would be considered art!


If he called himself an artist and had the balls to exhibit it and charge, maybe $50,000 for it, give it a wanky name, like 'The Emancipation of the Selfless Bumblebee', then the photo would be classified as great art.

Weird that.

Oh, please. I went to an art school in the south with very low admission standards for photography students. I've seen much worse than that.

When I think of bad British photographers:



/he said knowingly

The dog pic isn't bad. I have at least one of each of my dogs like that.

Actually, I think the pic of the grad and the out-of-focus dinner are worse.

improvius: I actually like this one, especially with the misspelled caption:

"revellers outside a club"

I like it too though I'm not sure that out of focus is the main thing keeping it from being a sharp image. The many images superimposed on each other suggest a slow shutter speed while the camera was shaking. It may very well have been in perfect focus. Or not.

My favorite was the close up of the Labrador. That one was awesome.

It's too bad I don't live in England or I could have submitted some of my vacation photos from Peru, from years ago.

I was going to Peru for like 2 months, and I had bought some film for the trip, but my dad decided to be "helpful" and give me a few of spare rolls of his. And by spare apparently he meant "had already taken photos on, so all those rolls were used and double exposed my gorgeous landscape shots with ghostly images of crap he saw around town and made my sister and mom stand next to or seemingly random shiat he saw on the ground".

Thanks dad. Helpful as always.

You just creeped me out in a good way, friend.

Thank you.

You know what separates a good photographer from a bad one? The good ones don't let you see their bad shots.

/have shot plenty of flawed pics. Out of focus, bad flash, etc.
//if no one sees them, they don't exist to make me look bad.

Wouldn't it be sad if those were staged bad photos to create this non-story?

Hey, far out, GungFu! Have you copyrighted that? I want to use it as the title of my most recent self-portrait:

You are posting on the Fark.com so there are 90% odds that you are someone who looks bad without the pictures for the proof of this. LAUGHTER OL no I am just providing you with the joke.

I think I love you.

Blurry is bad? Heck Rachel Maddow's partner, Susan Mikula has made a successful career out of that. If you've never seen them in a gallery they are huge, and huge equals good. I'm sure there are others out there.

What kind of camera was this that didn't pull the film completely into the cartridge on rewind? Serious question.

The awful puns in the photo captions really made this article.

I've seen some old point and shoot 35mm that leave it almost the same as from the factory. If you didn't shoot a lot it would look same as new

This is why Connor Macleod fails as a photographer.

Not all of these images would have been better if they were in focus. Case in point, cute little Misha:

Sometimes, talent is NOT your friend.

Also, this is *hardly* a bad photo, especially when compared to the others in the article.

Someone needs to photoshop all those pics into one horrible amalgam of terrible photography

Evidently whatever cheap piece of crap camera my dad had bought because it was a "bargain". He's pretty famous for being cheap and buying substandard crap that either costs him more in the end or is horrible in some way. One time in my early teens not long after his divorce he went grocery shopping and managed to find tortilla chips for me and my sister... that one of the main ingredients listed was literally - I shiat you not - "wood byproducts". You know.... sawdust. I had only checked the ingredients because they tasted farking atrocious.

And my dad is super disorganized, so after he used the film he must have put it in a drawer or on a desk in his study or something and pretty much instantly forgotten it needed to be developed, and then gave the film to me months later.

Agreed.

This is a great photo.

With the clouds and blue sky in the background.

It's as American as apple pie er something...

Photog and dog: love: i love it.

From the looks of it, the blurry wedding picture made the bride look better.

/Damn British people are ugly

I like the doggie.

That one of the dog isn't even close to 'worst'. Semi-creative, in fact.

Wait... she's making a living off being an intentionally shiatty photographer? Some tonal tweaks on some of my not-previously-for-public-consumption misfire photos and I, too, can have a gallery show?

Her "art" makes my eyes spontaneously bleed.

Indubitably: Agreed.

Exactamundo!

I'm tellin' ya, if you listen closely as you look at the photo, you can hear someone singing "FROM SEEEEEA TOOOOOO SHIIIINIIIIING SEEEEEEEEEEA..."

*wipes a tear away*

Grand, isn't it?

Assuming that a dog is singing that, that is.
