Starting a list of things you do not get a photography merit badge for...just sayin’

Here are a few things that make me tired when people think they should move to the front of class because they do them.
1. Shoot RAW (just do it)
2. Shoot manual (good for you, but most of us who have been shooting for a long time were thrilled when presented with new modes
3. Obsessing about focus (great lens but it fades a little in the corners)
4. SOOC...(you’re taking snapshots not producing an image)
5. Percentage of “keepers” (no you don’t get 9 out of 10)
6. Equipment (most of time it won’t help you take better pictures)
7. Photographs instead of art (unless your shooting aerial photographs of a drought...photography is an art )
8. Fill in the blank________________________________________
Rant over...meds kicking in.

Post a series of images of the same bird (or choose your subject) in slightly different positions (just give us your best one, please)

If you leave you camera at home, you're not a photographer.

Excellent list!
But I would leave off #7. Photography is not an art. It is a means for creating images. Sometimes the product is art, sometimes not.

If you can get the pictures off the camera card, you're more than halfway to being a photographer.

Titles that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the photographs presented: “Visited the Desert Yesterday” followed by thirty-six bird photos, or some such, that could have come from anywhere.

From the title, I would have expected images of the "desert".
Birds I can find in my back yard. But not Gila Monsters.....
The other is a title being just a location.
Open it to find no pictures of "location" but
"I'm going there, what do I shoot?".
Depends on your interests, no?
Is it that hard to type "I'll be going to <location>"?
