10 photography pet peeves

The photo department at Wired magazine has posted a top-10 list of their most despised photography pet peeves. Making the list? Stuff like HDR photos, shutter lag, the megapixel debate (“‘How many megapixels does that camera have?’ We don’t know, and we really don’t care. The real question is: Can you make a picture with it?”), and…watermarks.

“The photography game today rewards openness and exposure. The watermark is either the sign of a newbie who doesn’t know any better or insecure photographers who simultaneously thinks their photos are better than they are and that everyone is out to steal them,” they write.

“For photo editors looking for potential photographers, the watermark is usually just a sign of someone who will be difficult to work with. Either because they’ve been burned in the past and they’re paranoid, or they just have an inflated idea of the market value of their work.”

You can read the whole list, and add your own pet peeves, at Wired’s Raw File blog.
