What's in a name? interesting/fun titles

[Sarah Gillott]

I have noticed that its not only peoples photos that are creative and interesting, but also the titles they put to them! some are very funny, some ironic, thought provoking etc. Some add an extra dimension to the photo, allowing the viewer to see things from a whole new perspective! I have enjoyed reading them and also thinking up titles for my own pictures that may add interest.
i would like to invite you to paste any likes bellow which have examples of interesting titles, that way we can all appreciate them together!
Thanks Sarah Gillott

I try to find a good name for all of my photos - I think a good name adds character to a photo

[Sarah Gillott]

Thanks Sarah - some titles are obvious, others less so. Some titles take longer to come up with than the photo itself! Good choice of topic by the way.

[Marti Anderson]

I'm enjoying this thread. A clever turn of phrase is a bonus to a good photo.

[Sarah Gillott]

Thanks vikdaddy, laney and marti for your replies! I've never started a thread for discussion before so I'm glad to see someone is interested! ;)
I will try to find more fun titles to add!

[Jesenia B]

I always try to find a 'catchy' title, but it doesn't always work : ) Here are a few--

[Denise Vetromile]

I love clever titles! Here are a couple of mine that I'm happy with: http://365project.org/ZG/365/2010-07-03 http://365project.org/ZG/365/2010-07-12

And one title that a follower came up with after I had posted: http://365project.org/ZG/365/2010-06-30

[Rachael]

I had a couple of months where I used an interesting fact relating to the content of the photo as the title, but I found it just got too time consuming in the end.

[Melissa Pike]

After reading this thread, I realized that I have the most boring titles ever! Most are a literal description of the image... how dull! I'll have to get more creative with these!

I don't know if I can take credit for these being creative since they're lines from songs, but I thought they fit the images well: http://365project.org/melissapike/365/2010-06-10 http://365project.org/melissapike/365/2010-06-09

Love it

[Sarah Gillott]

Melissa, songs make great titles and it's how you see the connection to your photo that's the creative part, so you can absolutely take credit! Nice project by the way!

[Jaydee]

Thanks jaydee! Love the quote you used for this post.

[Trevor]

Another great idea. Many people have put forward suggestions on how to improve an already great site but are any of them ever taken up?

[Kimberly Vinglinsky]

Very good Hila F nice pix!

[Sarah Gillott]

You have probably seen this image but it's a great example of a title that draws you into the story to find out more!
Made me smile!
Cute shot too! If your not already following Peter- do it now, he's got serious photography and sensitive processing skills! V inspirational! http://365project.org/petervanallen/365/2010-07-10

[Evil Heather]

Coming up with the titles is one of my favorite parts of this project, I have so much fun with it. My favorite thing to do is find a quote or song lyrics to go with the picture and take the title from that. http://365project.org/lookitsz/365/2010-05-21 http://365project.org/lookitsz/365/2010-06-10 http://365project.org/lookitsz/365/2010-07-02 http://365project.org/lookitsz/365/2010-05-05

[Kit Marsden]

I usually try to get an interesting or amusing title... If I can't think of anything, I'll go for the "deadpan and ironically obvious" style...

[Hila Friman]

haha im late.. but thanks sarah!(:

[KellyWilson]

I love everyone's titles!!
I dont usually make my funny or anything (id like too!) but i usually just make them sweet.. compliment the photo, you know?
http://365project.org/vwbus/365/2010-07-05

[Stephanie Clark]

My titles are either the name of the theme I'm doing, or a lyric, but it doesn't necessarily relate to the photo.xD

[Stephanie Clark]

Oh ,this is probably my 'clever-est' title. http://365project.org/crazyrandomcool/365/2010-07-05

[Sarah Gillott]

Thanks for your comments Kit, Kellyn and Stephanie! Great projects too! ;)

[Malcolm Johal]

[Slava]

What a fun discussion topic, Sarah! For me, Brad is the king of cool titles! His projects is full of numerous examples! I looked back at my album and I found these:

[Sarah Gillott]

I agree brad, does have a lot if good ones! You have sone pretty neat ones too! Thanks for sharing Slava

[Brooke]

Mine are always a lyric or quote pertaining to the photo.

[Autumn Eden]

I don't always come up with something witty like this, http://365project.org/autumnseden/365/2010-07-13, but I am happy when I do come up with something funny. Brad has such a way with words! I always look forward to his posts. Hehe

[Sarah Gillott]

Autumn- you have some amazing shots and great titles in your project to! I found it hard to choose which one I liked best! I faved a few!
I chose to share this one it's a neat pic and perfect title! http://365project.org/autumnseden/365/2010-06-13

[Autumn Eden]

Thanks Sarah! That made my day. =D

[Linda M]

Such a fun topic! I sometimes have inspiration from songs and other times, I struggle to find a title for my picture. Here are a few of my own that I like:
http://365project.org/wndswptlady/365/2010-05-31 http://365project.org/wndswptlady/365/2010-06-05 http://365project.org/wndswptlady/365/2010-06-10 http://365project.org/wndswptlady/365/2010-06-13 http://365project.org/wndswptlady/365/2010-06-14 http://365project.org/wndswptlady/365/2010-06-26

gee...that's kind of a lot :)

[Sarah Gillott]

thanks Linda - cute bird pix! i liked strike a pose ( it could also be strike a posie!) :)
they looked so comfy in your wreath decoration!

[Megan]

I give just about all of mine Title's. Some are "out there" but so am I

[VERONICA HURLY]

I agree, there are some brilliantly thought out titles. I'm not quick enough and often give up and just go for a basic title.
I was watching a lifestyle program last night and there was a documentary on a restaurant which has unusual titles for the dishes they serve. They said that the name of the dish often influences each individual's taste of the dish. Interesting concept. I wonder if this is true for photograph titles- does the title influence our perception/ enjoyment of the photograph?

[Vikdaddy]

I like googling interesting quotes that pertain to the picture I've taken that day, or sometimes a photo screams a particular title. For example, for yesterday's pic I was looking for something interesting to do with eyes, and found the term 'visual acuity', which I thought had both a scientific and poetic tone to it. http://365project.org/vikdaddy/365/2010-07-15

[Sarah Gillott]

If you need a title just ask! Loved this challenge from Christina! ;)
http://365project.org/Pillango35/odds-and-ends/2010-07-15

[Sue]

this is one I did entitled: Hair-i-cane

[Sarah Gillott]

love it sue! thanks!

[Mrs. Smith]

The title is part of the fun....and creativity, so I spend some time on them!

[Autumn Eden]

I posted another funny one today but the picture does not match so I won't post the picture. The story explains it! Enjoy a giggle. =D

[Rudi Teruel]

having names and tidbits on one's photos also helps the viewers have an inside as to what one is seeing or feeling when taking the particular photo... at least this is my take on things when snapping a photo... it is how the subjects speak to me....

[Sarah Gillott]

great shot - loved the title too

"BIG TOP"
