Much like "texting" has bred a generation of illiterates...
Camera phones have bred a generation of idiot photographers. I won't even comment on the whole "selfie" thing. When we only had 12 or 24 pictures on a roll of film and it cost to develop every roll and cameras were much lower quality, we took the time and care to get a good shot. Taking a half decent photo was something you tried to do every time you pointed a camera. Although, I think Lenses have gone backwards in the last 20 years. Smaller and cheaper lenses are not improved by more megapixels. Its not so much "why are you pics blurry?" ...its "why did you post blurry pics?" If you shoot a photo and its blurry...don't post it...shoot another! I shoot 5 or 6 shots of the same thing, and then pick out the best photo. I do this with my DSLR or my pocket camera or my Phone camera. I agree with all the suggestions to use a tripod or support your camera in some way. And more natural light, less flash. I will give credit to digital cameras being able to shoot in less light. This is one thing I have been waiting for for many years.

Maybe someone should design a paper model for a picture-taking stand for your smart phone.

Funny you say that...a few months back I saw one of those "instructables" videos
and the guy had made a simple folded cardboard stand for his iPhone for taking "selfies" LOL. I liked it and started to sketch out a design for my Galaxy phone but I never finished anything. I also started work on a little speaker box/stand for smartphones, but because the Samsung and iPhones are opposite ...speakers at either end... I gave up on it.

It's a red letter day when I get a good photo off one attempt. I usually take 2 or 3 to get one photo that is 'postable', but then again my standards aren't very high

I'm one of those idiot photographers. Never did the whole selfie thing but never really took pictures before this forum in retrospect...

I think the addition of more pictures here is wonderful. I enjoy seeing what people are doing regardless of their photographic genius or lack thereof.
Referring to us as idiot is in bad taste. If you want to set a higher standard, then say goodbye to amateur participation.

Seeing pictures of builds is definitely needed. However taking better quality photos is a skill that can be learned and constantly improved (much the same as building a model). One doesn't need to be a genius to take 2 or 3 photos and pick the best one (one of the benefits of a digital camera). As pointed out, improving 2 or 3 basic aspects can make all the difference... again, much the same as building a model. As with any of the other help topics on this forum, there will always be something that not everyone will agree 100% upon. |

Agree on several comments posted. If people post a fuzzy photo and you don't like it, move on. I enjoy seeing different models that are built, fuzzy or not.
Started with a 110 camera many years ago, that used film, was expensive processing, then a disc camera, finally the 35mm version. First digital was an eye opener, been hooked ever since. Latest camera is a DSLR Nikon D3100 with two lense (18-55mm & 70-300mm). Now the problem is downsizing the photos for the forum! Just want to say, "Thank You to every one that posts photos with their threads!". Mike |
