Join now and keep track of the explosive goings on of PEO.


THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EDITING OFFENCES GROUP.
Join now and ask for forgiveness for your sins. Everybody is welcome, you are allowed to ask for forgiveness once a day, the pool is moderated by many disciples of the cause. Come along and wash away your blasphemies in the group pool.





There's a new craze every year or so. Off the top of my head I can think of 5 different travesties in the world of digital photography editing.

1. Framing
The process of putting a few extra pixels and lines around your digital image to add 'impact.'

2. Watermarks
The needless rape of a photograph because the photographer is big headed enough to believe someone will come and steal his/her photo to profit from it.

3. Selective Colouring
The process of converting an image to monochrome, but leaving one element coloured, such as a tram, or lady in a red dress.

4. The Flood Filter
A Photoshop plugin introduced a few years ago that everyone went crazy for. Everything for about a year was submerged in perfectly generated rippled water.

5. Highly Overprocessed HDR
The latest new FAD... HDR techniques have been around for over 100 years (Yes they have.) But overprocessed tone mapping nonsense from the likes of Photomatix users are all the rage right now.


These aren't examples of just bad processing, they are intentional attacks on photographs in an attempt to make them more interesting. I will be the first to admit I have tried it all - but more importantly - I moved on.

Can you help me think of some other obvious ones?

--EDIT with EXTRAS--

6. Fake Polaroid Frame
Can't find any Polaroid film? Doesn't matter... Fake it and pretend you're an instant film master.

7. Out of Focus Macros. (BOKEH)
Many thanks to Arty: "Out of focus macros. (You call it bokeh, I call it bollocks. You're supposed to INCREASE the depth of field with close-ups, not leave half the critter/leaf out of focus)."

8. Tilt and Shift Fakes.
Very simple post processing involving blurring a major part of a photograph (usually one overlooking a street.) The selective blurring appears as a shallow depth of field, to give it the photo the appearance of looking like a minature model village.

9. Fake film frames around Digital photographs (similar to #6)

10. Black and White Street Photography
"It's 2009 ffs."(Thank you Arty.)

11. Being a smug wanker/ Purists and Ludites and intentional attacks on photographers artistic explorations.Thank you Goneforawonder
Guilty!

12. TTV (Through the viewfinder.)
As Macredeye says.. "why?" It is basically a photo of what you see when looking through a camera viewfinder. If you want to do it you'll need a small lens. I find my cameraphone does the trick.

13. Cloning yourself / Multiplicity
Keep your camera on a tripod and take 10 pictures of yourself looking like a twat in different positions. Use each file to clone yourself in layer after layer. That'll make you look cool won't it?

14. The Orton Effect.
The original technique invented by Michael Orton was to overlay two or more images of an identical scene with very different exposures on slide film. One image is sharply focused and the others are very out of focus. Alex.Dram points out that he cannot find a reasonable need for it's existence. (Yes I tried it once too.)


15. Supreme Lack of Subject Matter
thank you Wiseacre for this edition. He states that: my personal peeve with any of these techniques isn't the techniques (or gimmicks), but the supreme lack of subject matter. Bokeh is fine, but of lights, raindrops, a leaf -- anyone with a 50mm and able to set their camera correctly can do that.

16. Attempting to digitally recreate an originally unpredictable effect in a very deliberate way.
You've got a brand new digital camera, it takes 40Mp pictures. You have a £1200 lens... Yet you process your photos to make them look like you took them with a £5 Holga.

17. Light trails.
ahh, how cute. You've learnt long exposures and you've had this great and original thought of going to the local motorway overpass with your tripod and taking a photo of all the red and white lights whizzing passed. Guess what? It's not original.

18. Lens Flare
Now I can't believe I left this off the list. It's perhaps the oldest gimmick on photoshop/psp/corel. Tacky lens flare added to photos creating a little sparkle with faded lines all over the picture. Such beauty!

19. Standard full photo filters
Hmm... My photo looks crap. How about if I press this buttom. *BOOM* It's embossed! Or suddenly looks like an impressionist painting, or has the effect of fur or leather or....

20. Planetoids
Ooh look at this lovely landscape. Best turn it into a planet. Oh not just here though. I'm going to do one EVERYWHERE I GO. Planet, planet planet all day long. Click here to see, but beware, you may end up carving out your own eyes with a spoon.

21. View On Black
"Oh god, yeah. That's probably worse than putting a black frame round a photo. If I want to view something on black, I'll print it out and shove it up my arse." Thank you.

22. Photographers who think they are poets
All thanks to Jamalrob for suggesting this travesty. Such titles on photographs as "True beauty lies within" or "I stopped, I stared, I wondered, as I walked through my placid life" .... on a LANDSCAPE photograph. Grow up you pretentious....

23. Listening to Jazz While Editing Your Photos
A serious offence. May lead to any of the above being reproduced.

24. Cutting the corners off
Why? Have I missed some health and safety b*ll*cks? Do I need to put on a Hi-Viz vest before I go into photoshop. Will I take "someones eye out wi that"?

25. Out of Frame
OMFG WTF LOOK! I'm stepping OUT-OF-THE-FRAME. Man, I am SO awesome.

26. Panoramic stitch togethers
ANYTHING... and I mean anything, that ends up as a gimmick that can be used with a mobile phone is a dreadful offence.

27. Immaculate skin
"...portraits with the skin blurred softened into oblivion. Like seeing pores will kill you. instantly." Thank you.

28. Oversharpening
Anyone who goes to a camera club will understand the fact that since digital photography started popping up... so did oversharpening. It's the sick practise of taking an out of focus photo and jacking up every sharpening filter to FIX it. This offence comes with a 3 year ban on digital cameras.

29. Dropshadow/Buttonise
...Or ANYTHING that makes your photo look like it's jumping off the screen. Creating the illusion that your photo is a 3D work of art is a processing crime. If it's a good photo, it won't need it!

30. Texture Layers
Why must you insist on taking another photo of crumbly plaster and using it to take a dump on another photo? Layers of any type of texture are big and not clever. A bit like stupid dwarfs.

31. Infrared Conversion
Crappy landscape? Convert to B+W... still looks crap? Convert to infrared... oooh... look... it glows.... pretty

32. Cropping
Just because you've got a camera that shoots @ 30Megapixel does not mean you can get lazy about filling up the full frame. Get it right first time and remember "crop is crap."

33. ATTEMPTING TO BE CLEVER
This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. There is to be no freedom of thought allowed in any photo editing. Here at Flickrschwitz we like minimal curve adjustment and colour correction ONLY. Anything else and vee shall av u tekkin owt zide and zhot!

34. Fractalius
More like syphilis. Take any boring old picture and turn it into some kind of light drawing that will make you want to scratch out your own eyes with a rusty fork. Needless vandalism on your photos.

35. Drink/Drugs While Editing
As demonstrated by many of the thread posters including www.flickr.com/photos/alexdram/, JAMALROB, BLUEBOY & GONEFORAWANDER this may lead to any of the above offences being commited or even worse, topic posts that you may regret in the morning.

36. Straight from my mobile phone and I'm proud of it.
Grow up. Nobody cares.

37. BHL Gimmicks
The never ending camel ride that is BIG HUGE LABS. This is not easy to approach. Everything and anything is available here. It's where View on Black (#21) comes from... Turn your photo into a billboard or a jigsaw. Create instant works of art. This site is photography's version of the Garden of Eden. Please... PLEASE... DO NOT EAT THE FUCKING APPLE.

38. Warholizer
So you think you're Andy Warhol do you? Think that you'd look cool/retro/kitsch/chic if you were multiplied and changed into psychodelic colours? You don't. You look like a prat. Just one of you in the correct colour is enough.

39. Portrait Dumping Grounds
Take your boring portraits and jazz them up using a vile uploading process online. Yersinia alerted us to these ever growing ghastly websites of photo destruction. Such sites as DUMPR or PHOTOFUNIA are trainwrecks and need to be cleaned up.

40. Vignetting
Why? You bought a digital camera to get rid of this common film problem. Don't fake it and pretend you're an artist. You little cheat, you.

41. NOT Cropping
Throwing away or leaving as suboptimal a potentially good shot just because you've confused Cartier-Bresson with God.

42. Abnormally Large Moon
Layering a telephoto, way-out-of-proportion moon into a wide angle night landscape. This isn't science fiction. This isn't a Disney film. This is photography, stop messing about, before I confiscate ur 300mm that rattles.

43. Retitle your photo to "Untitled"
This one struck a nerve in our new GROUP. Not bothering to retitle your picture from the camera file name ie. DSC_0272.jpg is one thing, but actually being so self absorbed that you retiltle your crappy little picture of an abandoned bike in the snow "UNTITLED" is pure blasphemy. A sure sign that the world is coming to an end.

44. Amazing Circles
I've just been holding my head in my hands thinking about what to write about these. I started crying actually. This role of documenting these offences is getting a little too much. Just... Erm... Just... Take a look for yourself....

45. Making a David Hockney
Taking many photographs of one person and arranging them in a neo-Cubist manner like David Hockney. You twit. Take a look at these dumb attempts named Picasso Portraits.

46. Triptych
This gross act of indecency is indulged only by the slightly more pretentious artist/photographers out there... Who want to tell a story with their photos. This is usually the result of all 3 photos being crap.

47. Mosaic
I seem to remember, sometime around eight years ago there was a star wars poster, made up of thousands of time movie stills from star wars in a kind of mosaic. THAT WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO. IT'S TACKY AND OVER DONE. MOVE ON LOSER.

At times I just have to use the weird angle, the wide angle doesn't distort words that good. Probably makes me a sinner without salvation. “So it goes”.

I liked Kid Shelleen in that Cat Ballou movie (Lee Marvin won best actor that year at the Oscars for that role). It has something to do with reinventing the western genre. It shows how important it is to use the antihero in the proper fashion.

A belated BRAVO! to you, ArchedRoof. If Flickr has any sort of archive -- hey, they do, the Blog -- this list should be in it.

And thank you especially for the new trend of layers (#30). Saw a photo today that was getting all kinds of praise, but I had to be the wet blanket and say something to the effect of "uh, less is more". The two layers were a very nice picture of the photographer who is a 16 year old female, and an upward shot of rosepetals -- the combination looked like a "tribute" by a literal wanker due to where the leaf "blotches" fell. Not the effect sought, miss.

Keep up the good work, there's way more than 38 offenses. :)

Somethings in life … you can’t understand.

Like take me for instance I can hardly understand myself (I know go figure)

Does it bother me ? A bit… Should it bother you, none what so ever.

« So it goes » is in the beautiful memory of Kurt Vonnegut Jr’s Slaughterhouse-Five (65 on a list of most often banned book)

« The story continually employs the refrain So it goes . . . when death, dying, and mortality occur, as a narrative transition to another subject, as a memento mori, as comic relief, and to explain the unexplained. It appears one hundred sixteen times. »


So may God bless Billy Pilgrim 116 times

It is a time to move on

To rob the train. To go beyond HDR, and Bokeh, and frames, at least for a few days

( Now you can’t say that this is void of sense, to jump with the cash, to write the byline, to flow with creative juices, to fry melt in mars land, man How many versions did they make of King Kong ? Not one to many I hope)

Vignettes, heavily done in a very unsubtle way should be included for sure. Very faddy at present. More Lightroom presets than you can shake a stick at that will do this.

Hmm ... that reminds me ... the use of any Lightroom preset published by www.lightroomkillertips.com/. Make your photo vignetted and bright purple at the touch of a button. Excellent.

I KNOW! I've lost important data (Well detail I'd like to have kept) before by doing this and misplacing the original file.

OK - i'm back on - lunch time.
I have no way of catching up because I still don't understand most of what's been said above.

I'll assume that i'll never understand what photo208cam says - and I can live with that I suppose!

I've just popped home from work to see what it was that I did last night with a feeling of trepidation. Peter and Ted. I am evil. Excellent. Oh well, back in about 4hrs for more terrorism.

I paid a good 6,000円 for a plastic camera just to get those vignettes.

Though, must say that there's been recent hair pulling and eye-scratching on some Holga threads over the iPhone-Holgaised uploading ......... photo208cam can go sort it out for them.

Just went for a drink, finished a bottle of sambuca, woke up in my friend's bed with him and his wife and now I don't understand what's going on here. I tried to catch up... honestly. Is there any brief summary?

Oh yeah. Blame me. That's right.

I'm not responsible for your failure to encase that in a tasteful museum frame, admired by appreciative patrons of the arts, am I?

It's time you faced up to your own responsibilities, and admitted that it's your own lack of artistic sensibilities.

Innit.
