Your favorite visual cliché

[ferider]

You mean like this ?

🙂

Was that you on 101 the other day ?

How on earth do make a heart-shape bokeh? You'd need an hearted aperture... with a 12 1/2 blades (out of which 3 are crooked) diaphragm...

Anything that may make you think that women are bodies before being individuals...

By cutting out the heart shape aperture on the hood smaller than max aperture. Place in front lens, close focus, shoot wide open. 😛

No. Nothing like that! 🙂

Was that you on 101 the other day ?

On the bike? Possibly. Why did you blast past me, or was I swerving? 😛

Top overused image, hands down: Clock faces. Maybe not quite so dead in English-speaking countries but in German the idiomatic (and itself clichéd) expression for "time is running out" is "it's 5 minutes before 12" and I must have seen that shot literally hundreds of times.

My personal "enough already!!!" subject: close-up of your place setting in a restaurant. Inevitably accompanied by gushing remarks about the bokeh of the lens. C'mon folks, that's nice for practicing your close focus and handheld skills. But don't share it here. Boring!

 

[t.s.k.]

Well I think that about covers it.
Everyone hates everything.😱


....except dog pictures.:angel:

I think I'll box up all my cameras and go hide my head. You guys, collectively, don't like anything.

Did anybody mention cemetaries?

I was thinking the same ... I guess somebody already mentioned churches, churches, and not to be forgotten: churches ?

Stefan.

- Street carnivals or block parties with a prominent stilt walker.
- Monuments and playing with perspective - i.e. the Washington monument as an aroused phallic endeavor, with a person laying down in foreground.
- Girls with beads in New Orleans
- Terry Richardson type over flashed snapshot, hipster kids being zany.

Hmm, fun to find examples of these that actually might work ok...

 

[j_fletcher]

Anyone mentioned lonely looking benches yet? Always a safe bet!

 

[shadowfox]

Hdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This one is worth repeating.

Haytch-Deeee-Arrrrr!!

I can't stand those especially the very obvious ones.

 

[KeithCostin]

It's either "highly detailed portrait of an old man/woman with bad skin" or "meticulously documented large-format photograph of nothing in particular"

 

[flip]

empty chairs in empty rooms, perhaps.

 

[raydm6]

Footprints in the sand is another...

Just saw the thread and was about to say this. I'm always really guilty of this 😉

It's easy to do. We all have some examples I imagine 🙂

Lonely benches...
