78 Photography Rules for Complete Idiots

For some comic relief... (didn't think this belonged to the Photography Techniques subforum)

78 Photography Rules for Complete Idiots

some like #7 break the typical rules (I guess being aimed at those who've probably never held a camera in their lives)

but there are a lot of real doosies...

Check out #20, 23, 26, 32, 39, 45, 54, and my favourite #58... amongst many others...

I think #34 looks best "the wrong way"...

I disagree with #38, there are some people you just DON"T want in the photo

I figured rule #1 would be to remove the lens cap. Rule # 2 would be to make sure there is a card/film in the camera.

Would anyone happen to know where #66 lives?

- I don't understand #12.....you can't give people the finger when taking pictures? Geez...what next.

- #23....I don't agree....sometimes it's nice to take a picture of someone's backside...like with picture #65 and #66. Same issue with #58

- #68 disturbs me

#78 says you should avoid shooting non-photogenic people - we wouldn't want the glass in the lens to crack...

I wonder how many with the gear setup in #65 would need that piece of advice... "ahhhh, so that's why my studio shots aren't selling..."

You can only read some of it.
