"My photo sucks!" Jan. 17-23

January 23rd, 2011
Show us one of your photos from last week (between 17 and 23 Jan.),that you think is your weakest/most boring/dull one.
Here`s mine:
January 23rd, 2011
My dullest pic is of apples, which I snapped for a back- up, but then you should have seen how crappy the rejects were. Photographing people dancing Bangra when being taught how to do it don't mix! I didn't really do anything to draw out any special quality with these apples except lining up a couple of stalks:
January 23rd, 2011
Martin I actually really liked this one! Very retro looking

This is a tough one for me because I actually enjoyed all mine this past week... so I am going to go with this one.. ONLY because I think I could have done it better than I have

January 23rd, 2011
I'm going with this. Pretty colors. But not a whole lot there.
January 23rd, 2011
The sunset Wednesday was GORGEOUS. I picked up my daughter and raced to one of the most unobstructed views in town of the sunset. I got very few good ones, and this one hit me as probably the most WTF worst. ugh.

January 23rd, 2011
it's very hard to chose only one photo, there are so many :D

i dont't like this because is it cliche, only one comment, no fav :((

January 23rd, 2011
@franci
Don`t let that bring you down.Heck,you made it to the Popular Page allready,that took me 3 months haha.
January 23rd, 2011

i actually liked myphotos this week! haha for once, but i didnt get many views so..
January 23rd, 2011


I never get a lot of views, but this one was the worst. Only 5.
January 23rd, 2011

I had to use a couple of fillers this week due to not feeling well and so busy. This one I did take and I was not happy with the results at all
January 23rd, 2011
I personally don't think it "sucks", but it didn't get too many comments.

January 23rd, 2011
@spaceman
I really like your picture. The colors are great.
January 23rd, 2011


Major fail. This may have been cool had all the recycling been out of the photo. I took it all out the next day.
January 23rd, 2011
I get very few comments on any of my photos but today's I really am unhappy with. I wanted to photograph this so badly but it didn't seem to matter which angle I took it from, it just didn't come out very exciting. It really was pretty - the sun was shining and it was reflecting beautiful colors that I could see but the camera couldn't catch.

January 23rd, 2011

For a 'blue' theme. I was trying to take the exact same photo without the lights directly in the picture, but it just wasn't working out!
January 23rd, 2011
@spaceman thank you for your support and lovely words, you motivated me , thanks!
January 23rd, 2011
This


Or this

January 23rd, 2011
By far it would be this one... If I had just waited until there was better lighting, it could have had a much better chance at being a good shot. BUT! I had no patience and took the photo at night in my kitchen that has horrible lights. I hate how yellow the whole photo is.

January 23rd, 2011
@killerjackalope That first one is pretty good, I think. The colors are beautiful!

Here's mine. I was really inspired that day - just not photographically!
January 23rd, 2011
@proudrhrshipper Thanks, it's actually that one I really have something against, the cat one's probably just referred hate...

At first I thought that was a mobius strip, reminds me of a project I haven't finished, ever read the Crow Road? Think it was Crow road, certain Iain Banks.
January 23rd, 2011
Desperation shot....driving to work...noticed how there is steam everywhere when the temperature reaches a certain low point....so took the shot! Pretty boring....not much point to it.....
January 23rd, 2011
January 24th, 2011
I was stuck inside with a migraine on this day...
January 24th, 2011


this was not planned, just a spur of the moment , get it done kinda thing.
January 24th, 2011
@haley_yates Awww your kiity shot is so cute!!
January 24th, 2011
For me it's that one. Ok, i had some coments and blahblabla, but it's sooooo boring. I couldnt do anything and i really wasnt in the mood of photographing :D



January 24th, 2011
i haven't even taken one yet today, but i'm sure it will be better than this one
January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011


I was ill all day and had no photo ops whatsoever so this was the best i could do - my survival kit
January 24th, 2011


It wasn't at all what I had planned. It's not fun or interesting at all. I even desaturated it- to completely suck the life out of it...
January 24th, 2011
just blahhhh. i think i can do better.

January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011


Last week was a boring photo week in general but I guess this is the least inspired.
January 24th, 2011
@girlincamo lol...I truly did laugh out loud at your last comment. Still chuckling now. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be to come up with a photo each day and have it be good or inspired, let alone both.
January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011
@killerjackalope It IS a mobius strip! I was having a very mathematical day, thanks to YouTube's Vi Hart.
January 24th, 2011
Coincidentally I was 'uninspired" this day Lol.
January 24th, 2011
@lalola616 That looks VERY painful....but I like the photo...
January 24th, 2011
@nanascraps I can actually see the colours in your icicle...probably not as sharp as you could in real life, but I like it....
January 24th, 2011
The camera could just not capture the moonlight through the trees. Full moon night and a very frustrated me.

January 24th, 2011

January 24th, 2011
@jcrowley40

You're kidding? This is a GREAT photo! (This is the my photo sucks thread, right?)
Seriously, I think that photo is beautiful, as is the dog.
January 24th, 2011
@spaceman There's nothing weak, boring or dull in catching a UFO in full flight, quite the reverse in fact!
January 24th, 2011
I love this composition and the way my diver was in the air, but I'm so embarassed by the quality..or lack thereof. :/ I could've done better.

January 24th, 2011
It's a tossup between this one

and this one

Both are decent snapshots I guess but I am just uninspired lately, and it shows!
January 24th, 2011

We were in a hurry to get out of the store, and I didn't capture the whole bottle.
January 24th, 2011
It was tough to choose the worst. I've been in a rut lately.

January 24th, 2011


January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011
Haha - I had a few to choose from this week!!

January 24th, 2011
I think this is not a good photo, I cut a little from her head :-)

January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011


I think the picture is cute, but not my greatest. Plus it has me in it and I tend to not like pictures that I am in.
January 24th, 2011


my recent photo would be it. hahahha NO STORY AT ALL! i don't know.. LOL
January 24th, 2011
Was one of those nights when I was looking for ANYTHING that could have a little interest for me.. I do like the pattern at least..

January 24th, 2011


Would have been interesting to get the whole turn table, and more of the train garage.
January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011

January 24th, 2011


smoke shots just didnt go to plan :(
January 24th, 2011
definitely this one ... first foray into IR ... need to practise more and understand this element ...
*waving* Hi Martin!
January 24th, 2011


I was running out of time and still needed a shot!
January 24th, 2011


Yesterday = no inspiration and no time!
January 24th, 2011
This day was very uninspiring and the photo didnt really turn out how i wanted it too !

January 24th, 2011
@jo365 I'd go the restaurant!
January 24th, 2011
@proudrhrshipper Ah cool, well in that book the guy had a scarf his friend gave him that was a mobius scarf, even though I don't wear scarves I'm sure it would be a nice present for a friend...
January 24th, 2011
@misschuff laughing at you because the restaurant is only KFC!!!!!
January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011
I'd probably pick my one from yesterday, it didn't come out how I envisioned it and feels a bit flat to me.

January 24th, 2011
I love the Faux HD effect, but not really feeling it or this picture.
January 24th, 2011
January 24th, 2011
Clearly struggled with the midair theme! LOL!

January 24th, 2011
@jo365 ok - keep it then, not interested.
January 25th, 2011
@romans_mama thank you!!
January 25th, 2011
@haley_yates Cats are never dull!!!
January 25th, 2011
No inspiration, saw the clouds looking a little funky and thought "that'll do"
January 25th, 2011
January 25th, 2011


I don't even know why I posted this.
January 25th, 2011
@karenkool
Wow,you REALLY think that`s a bad photograph? Because I disagree!
January 25th, 2011
It must be this one, I was really busy this weekend and just needed a picture. And I had to go to the library and 1+1= welll... this picture. Edited this a bit for more interest, but I think it didn't work.
January 25th, 2011
this one...the more i look at it, the more i hate it. it's just blech!
January 25th, 2011
@franci It is beautiful, cliched or not, but I think you have made these look very glassy and have set them off beautifully with the background.
January 25th, 2011
@jcrowley40 This one has a lot going for it - perfect dog portrait. She's looking like she has a cat up a tree and has been running her nose in the snow, so quite joyful and then everything is terribly clear and the colours and texture is good too. So, you other pics must be bloody brilliant :-)
January 25th, 2011
This one got a surprising amount of interest... I really wasn't that happy with it, and it's my least favorite of the week (I just know I could have done better!)

January 25th, 2011

The quality is AWFUL. I was in such a hurry, but needed a "C" picture....my dog Copper, looked adorable, but my camera batteries were dead, so I used my phone. Very disappointed to post this one....
January 25th, 2011
this one. I need help with action! I hate that the ref is right there & my son is facing the other way. I also don't like the background. I'll try again next weekend!

January 25th, 2011
would have to go with this oneas I just could not, for the life of me, get one good shot of a real live BIRD!!! LOL!!!
January 25th, 2011

I love the angle but hate the color. This is a beautiful building & I just don't think I did it justice. Could have definately benefitted from a tripod which was lost at the time.
January 25th, 2011
@geertje I disagree....your leading lines in this shot are excellent! The only thing that's distracting is that oversized t-shirt???
January 25th, 2011
@semrants Thanks. I think that t-shirt means more to me (there are a lot of them throughout the library and I think they are fun) than to the person passing by this picture. Sometimes we do get a bit carried and try to tell to much in one picture...
January 25th, 2011
January 25th, 2011
Just Shameful!

January 25th, 2011
January 25th, 2011
I literally could not think of anything to take a picture of, So i took a picture of a window with raindrops on it. Zero imagination:D
January 25th, 2011

I just think it's really boring and pointless... The editing didn't work out as I wanted either... :P
January 25th, 2011
@spaceman i didn't see the lightbulb at first, and thought there was a mysterious floating hat!

Mine is waaaay bad, but it was purely to mark the occasion, rather than to be artistic. Thanks for making it happen Ross!!!

January 25th, 2011
January 25th, 2011

January 25th, 2011
@spaceman

This one is not my best.... it is very simple mid-air picture that I did for the theme. I did another one that did not like but it turned out well.
January 25th, 2011
January 26th, 2011
This could have been done so much better & would have benefited from a tint bit of planning perhaps....shoes prolly need a different backdrop than my pillows...lol

January 26th, 2011

this one for sure!!
January 26th, 2011
eh.
January 26th, 2011
January 26th, 2011
January 26th, 2011
@girlincamo That would have been better had the focus been on one standing up such as the front.
January 26th, 2011
This one had lots of positive comments. I think I would have been happier with it had I not had the strange shadow on my chin. It messed with my profile enough to bug me. I am happy that I did the shot though.
January 26th, 2011
Gosh, so many to choose from. I was at work when I took this and only had my cell phone with me. The focus is horrible, the men's backs are to me, etc., etc.

January 26th, 2011
i just took it to make sure i got a picture for the day

January 26th, 2011
January 26th, 2011
January 26th, 2011


Total mess that came out remotely as I had intended or hoped.
January 26th, 2011
I actually only posted 1 pic in that period, but I don't like it to so there you are. Another inspiration-less day, I guess...
January 26th, 2011
I came home from work and immediately started work rebuilding this wheel for a clubmate. When I realised I'd run out of day I just leaned the wheel against the wall and pointed the phone/camera at it.

January 26th, 2011
wow, you guys are funny, most of these photo's are far from the suck factor.
January 26th, 2011
definitely this one - snapshot

January 26th, 2011
January 26th, 2011
lacking in inspiration...
January 26th, 2011
@overth3rainb0w You really think that's bad? That's better than all of my photos for this week!
January 26th, 2011
Nod


Could have done better (in term of editing the pix)!
January 26th, 2011
@edreamer Lol thanks. It's just not one of my best. Btw your photos are great, I really do love them!
January 26th, 2011
I guess it would be this one, I don't like it at all:

The trees after the flood was gone, nothing but ugly...



(but I think my photo for Jan 23rd sucks also! lol)
January 26th, 2011
I have to say I am almost most proud of the pics I have taken in the last week haha but this is my least favorite. I like the cardinal but the rest of the shot is not very interesting

January 26th, 2011
January 26th, 2011


Idk I just HATE this. Ick... Love the quote, but other than that...FLOP
January 26th, 2011


I hate the giant white box sign glare on the left side of the picture, but I did like that I could capture the basketball game I was watching as a reflection in the window.
January 26th, 2011


haha. this one for sure.
