361/365 # Deconstruction of a boring photograph
It's my last few days, time to explain to you what I mean when I say a shot is shit.
What I mean is: OK, the shot might be sharp (not this one though), properly exposed, correctly lit etc etc but to me personally if I post something that lacks imagination that means it's shit.
Take tonight's photo. I had no ideas. Nothing at all. In the end all I could think of to make this shot vaguely worthwhile (in my opinion) was to take the piss out of my boring shots. And it's still shit.
This doesn't mean that if one of you guys posts a shot with you against the wall that I think it's shit - far from it. I'll sit there and marvel at how you managed to get such a great shot using not much.
Sooooo . . . yeah. My criteria may differ to yours but at least you know now right? Unless I get a cool shot, it's shit. I'm really chuffed if you guys like it - but I have my own personal ratings system. Bless you guys for tryin' though . . .
This is inspired by this shot and this shot both by Disco~Stu. Now they rate high on my Awesome-ometer.

Strobist info: SB600 to camera left at full power and bounced off a wall.
