Two great links Shaun!

Just out of interest many of the photos had copyright signs on them. Did the person who put together youarenotaphotographer ask for permission to use those photos? Or are they breaching copyright?
Would you give permission for your photo to be used on
that site?

I don't think anyone here is has any as bad as those Shaun. Clearly they don't use Pentax

Or maybe we are all just sensible and bin them .

As noted above everybody takes some bad shots... the scary part is that many of these shots seem to have been posted on the photographers' sites and used as advertisements for their work. If this illustrates anything it's that many people out there seem to think that just owning a DSLR qualifies them to be a 'professional' photographer. Skill and talent and even the ability to distinguish a good shot from a bad one are optional extras, at best. Personally I think I take some decent shots but I'd have to achieve a much more consistent standard before I'd even consider 'going pro'.

The site would be classed as reviewing and critiquing so no breach of copyright.

I love "The Ghost Fairy And The Tiger" on page 16, especially the comment to it

Come on Don... I'm sure after many years in the profession you must have a few cringe-making shots (client to blame of course!) Let's share our 'regrettable images'...

Maybe that would be a good subject for the weekly comeptition

Somewhere in there there's the scariest Easter bunny I've ever seen. Honestly, it's like something out of a horror film. Genuinely terrifying picture.
