Everyone always posts pics they love but I want to see what photos didn't live up to your standards. For whatever reason, maybe its cause they are blurry or you just had to take a pic to complete the day. Or maybe the photo reminds you of something you dont want to remember.
Share them here and explain why it is your least favorite photo.
Here is mine. I was feeling very unmotivated that night and was watching a movie and decided to shoot the popcorn...LOL. I hate the photo but couldnt miss a day.
I hate this one! It was taken this month and I was really uninspired and had almost forgotten about taking a photo. I had the spotting scope out and was making sure my chosen location was the best one in the area to see Venus in transit. The weather forecast wasn't good, I just snapped this for 'hope' in the June word challenge as I was really hoping it wouldn't be cloudy as forecast. Of course, it was cloudy and we couldn't see a thing at transit time.
I just think this photo is utterly dull and boring and it bugs me that it's in my project! I did have other contenders but I think this is definitely my worse (so far at least!)
For me it was this photoshop effort. At the time I liked it but now when I look it looks very flat and badly done.... I am going to try it again sometime in the future.
I hate this one, and actually several of the ones before. It was just after I had spinal surgery, so all of my photos were taken while I was high on morphine...
@jsilver Ooo nice! I had my appendix out in 2007. I've had 5 surgeries since 2004 (2 on right hand, 1 on left hand, appendix and full spinal). The appendix wasn't pleasant but I couldn't move for months after the spinal surgery :( I have photos of the actual surgery on my second album in October if you want a peak!
The 2nd day of the project, I shot this photo without thought. It was our volunteer day and I didn't take time to do any set-up. At the time, I think my thought was to use the 365 as a sort of daily diary snapshot.
Hmm, dunno if I have one specific shot I hate (there are several I am unhappy with though) this one just seems very blah to me - like what was I shooting???
@primitiveprobe Darlin' you wanna' chat up crime?? I'm telling' ya'... The worst part about this photo was this wasn't the longest this blue collar cleavage was. It was scary!!
I hate this photo. It's the first time I have ever seen a green tree frog and I wish I didn't try to capture the moment with my iphone. I am making a book of all my 365 photos at the end for myself and I detest having this photo in it...oh well.
I started this project in January after my sister invited me, and I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I still struggle to take objectionably good photos, but I have come a long way, baby!! This thread makes me want to re-shoot this brooche; I cringe everytime I see it in my project (along with a lot of my ealrier photos). Inspiration for tonight's photos, perhaps!
Day two of project. So grey and dull out. Took this while waiting for my husband. Bored in a parking lot. And then never took anything else that day. Hmmm.... maybe I should try playing with it in editing....
From February. There are several shots I really don't like in my project, but I picked this because I no longer have any response to it at all. It is 'meh!' in a photo. ;)
I don't like this one because I think the perspective and composition (what composition?!) don't work. I have taken many other pictures in that coffee shop later on and going for detail has usually worked out better.
I have many bad ones... this has to be one of the worst. I was attempting to take a skyline but so poorly that I had to cut the majority of the photo out! This was just about in the first month of my project - hopefully I've improved a little since then! I also used to take a lot of photos of my dinner, but I've mostly stopped that now.
this one... of water boiling in a pot... it was early on, i hadn't a clue what i was doing, and i was in "take a picture of everything" mode and see what comes of it... mind you, there are several vying for second and third place ;p
this is mine from this month - I'm sure there are worse, but this is the one that jumped out at me. It was a horrible wet, windy, cold day - I saw the sign - thought OMG - made u turn - and then had to see everyone explaining it was possible ... sigh :) Suppose it was one of those "you had to be there" pics :)
@eyesofbetsie Whoa, for a second I thought, "Could she have been at Castaways when I did that...??" Then I realized that was definitely not my hand LOL
This one makes me cringe. I didn't even like it when I posted it, but was just starting to figure out layering and this was one of the catastrophic results... I have considered just deleting it. Entirely. From both hard drives.
LOL! I had a lot of these days but I think this was my first on day 9, was completely stuck for something to shoot so searched around at work & this was all I could come up with DOH!:
I've had a bunch of shots I still feel embarrassed about having taken. This one is probably the nadir. I spent the entire afternoon really getting into trying to arrange books in photogenic ways, then came up with this.
Uggh, my SOOC week (no processing) and I hated it as I was taking it no sense of lighting or composition or anything really.I too was in "take a picture of everything" mode @northy
It was titled "No Good Shots Today" because everything I'd taken with my "inherited" camera was out of focus. To cover up the blur I processed it to death and hated it. I still hate it. But my followers loved it! Go figure.
I had four to choose from, but picked this one which was actually my first photo of the project - my only excuse being that I had aslight hangover at the time, but really wanted to start on 1/1/12
Loving this thread! I'm not sure what my 'least favourite' is ... because I'm taking the 'take one a day' route, sometimes it is desperation, that said, I'm seeing this far more as a diary of my life, than the development of my photography. The latter tends to happen in spurts, when I have time (like, today, when I was trying to get things moving in the wind). That said, I can't decide which I like the least - many of those that aren't photographically good have amusing memories!
I'm not sure why I even posted this, other than the fact I didn't take much that day.
On a different note, it's amazing to me how we are our own harshest critics. Scrolling down the discussn, there are a few photos here I really like. I guess photography is indeed art.

I really try not to put an other one... :)

I do when I was desperate on the third day of my project.

Toilets at the university. I hate this picture because I hate these restrooms :P

It looked so much better in my head .. :P
