About People with wetsuits that look like seals from the bottom

it may be confusing, but this is not Flickr Central

Photos need not be literally taken from the bottom of the ocean to prove someone is fitting of the group name. However, photos do need to be taken in order to post to the group.

However, if you can survive the snark-tank unscathed, or follow these rules, then you can post photos outside of these guidelines.

You:
1. Spend as much time as you can submitting your photos to flickr groups to get awards. Awards are proof of how good a photographer you are.

2. Buy the most expensive camera equipment because the better the camera, the better the photos.

3. Whore your photos on discussion threads.

4. Wear your off-the-box branded camera strap around your neck for a more professional look.

5. Find yourself with a boring/bad photo, then you turn it in to an HDR for vast improvements

6. Only take pictures of park benches, kittens, Bokeh christmas lights, sunsets and little kids with huge glasses.

7. Pictures only are good if you take them in a photogenic place. You don't take photos unless you are in California, Paris, Japan's country side, New York City, or hunting rare species in Africa. You just don't bother with anything else.

8. Shoot film for added boasting of talent, and it is Fuji Velvia to raise above other film-fans.

9. Visualize the photo three weeks before it was taken, and at 72:19 minutes before sunset is when you snapped it

10. The concept of Spinal Tap's "this one goes to 11" applies to your post-processing settings.

11. Happy Bunny ok!

12. It is fine if you want to have a conversation with yourself using an alt account. No one will ever suspect you are a nut.
