Bad photos rant
Apr. 18th, 2006 04:59 pmI have once again spent part of a day titivating bad photos that were taken out of focus, in bad weather, against ugly backdrops.
Why, WHY can't people a) buy a decent camera b) learn to take decent photos with it and c) wait till the sun is out and find somewhere that isn't covered in corrugated iron as a backdrop.
Or failing that d) hire someone to take photos for them?
Surely any of these would be preferable to getting me to fiddle with their bad photos afterwards. I can get them looking vaguely half-way decent, with some effort - but would it not be simpler (and cheaper) and much more effective to just supply decent photos to start with???
ARG!
