Joe thanks for the article. I am happy to admit that I am guity of ALL ten clichés...every single one helped me to learn to use my equipment, learn to improve my photographic eye and learn to use and know the scope of editing software. With all of that experience, I know more about what I should be doing to improve. 365 members should take the article with a grain of salt and have a laugh...not every photographer out in the big wide world only has one day, everyday, to present to the world the best they can do...so keep using those clichés when inspiration is lacking and when time is a factor...because, well we all understand 😊
I've done 'em alllllllll! Especially when I was first starting out. No regrets. Well, ok, maybe a few. Ha ha! I like Kazzy's comments and agree with them. @kazlamont Interesting article, though - thanks for posting! ;)
I too agree with Kazzy @kazlamont ! would never discourage new photographers from doing them either! every photo and processing venture is a step in the direction of getting better! some of my selective coloring photos are favs among friends and family. One take-away...keep looking for the new and unusual! thanks for posting Joe @joemuli. sorry to hear about someone in your family passing away.
Overall this is a good article but I think beginners should be left room to experiment, make mistakes, and then learn moderation (e.g., in the case of using HDR to extend the camera's dynamic range). Of all points, I particularly disagree with the Pet/Flowers/Sunset one. Newcomers can gain a lot of experience from mastering subjects that are readily available to them. If you want to be darn good in the middle of the jungle, you start by making the camera an extension of your body in your own backyard.
