How To Comment On A Boring Photo:

[wangi]

Maybe we need shorthand for comments.

I love that you've given Jude her own SP comment! Perfect!
I'd like to add one shorthand and maybe come up with a few more.

How about:
smglatb!=sweet mother of God, look at those breasts!

Maybe we need shorthand for comments.

gc = good composition
ts = tack sharp
nbw = nice b&w treatment
nt = nice tones
nc = nice colors
ge = good eye
nf = nice find
bs = either beautiful sunrise or beautiful sunset
bfm = beautiful flower macro
bim = beautiful insect macro
gp = great portrait
nsp = nice self portrait
nsp! = nice self portrait Jude
eps = excellent Photoshop work
eps! = excellent Photoshop work Robin
ha = humorous comment

I think that about covers it. This should shorten commenting time significantly. All those in favor say "a".

I shot a boring photo yesterday just so you could all comment on it. (Yeah right, wonder if they'll buy it…whoops I'm typing out loud.)

Have at it:

I'm probably missing the point of this thread.
Because I am not sure I feel the need to comment a boring photo...

...just wait till I get to those comments on the boring pet pics!

Here's my boring shot of the day, and a gracious comment to it from Phil. A good way of commenting a boring picture is by saying WHY the picture is boring.

Yes, this shot is in my Bad Shot gallery

That's alright Anna, but Phil didn't feel the need to comment your photo.
He commented your caption

Et voilà mine...

I'm going to spend the weekend looking for boring
subject matter.

;^)

[jude_53]

one doesn't have to LOOK for boring subject matter.. it surrouds us

unless

we

can

see

through fantasy eyes..

[jeremygood]

Yes, but if you see boring things as interesting through your fantasy eyes, then you'll take pictures of them and the pictures will be boring for everyone else who has reality eyes.

[jude_53]

no no no! if you see something as not boring.. you can create it in a different light for others.. I believe this.

See, I DO have a rich fantasy life..LOL

Jeremy? I have an idea.. tell me something boring to take a pic of and lets see if I can make it.. better.

Edward Weston once took a photo of a toilet in Mexico that I've always liked.
"Excusado"

Always looking to replicate that image but not to the point of crawling around in all the bathrooms of Mexico.

Jude, are you up to the task at hand?

[jeremygood]

I LOVE IT!

HERE IS THE NEW CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK STARTING MONDAY, JUNE 6TH. TAKE A PICTURE OF A TOILET EACH DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!

I am serious. I suspect it may be too difficult to do for an entire week. But let's see how many days you can keep it up and how UNBORING you can make the old porcelain god.

WHO'S IN???

Jeremy

P.S. Jude, I am 100% certain you can make anything interesting. You are an abstract thinker and a very creative soul. I am quite curious as to what you can do with a toilet though.

[simonkirk]

Hmmm after reading this i have discovered that i must make the most boring comments ever
Sorry if mine sound bad but i am not good at expressing myself vocaly, it is why i take photographs
Oh the toilet a day is on!
