and of course the horrid images aren't just limited to color selection/spot color, they cover the whole gamut of what you should NEVER do.

Yikes! Thanks for that! I think that baby just stole a wee bit of my soul, very creepy.

sorry the PPA seems to believe my images are fine since I recieved my certification from them this year, but thanks for bringing my name into a thread I was not even involved in at all.
and I wonder why people get so feed up they leave this site, it's like a bunch of teenage girls fighting over make-up at times.

Exactly what do you need to do to be accepted by the PPA. I took a look at the website and all I was able to determine was that you would pay $323.00 for a membership. Is that correct ?

emontional investment does crazy things to people. I know as a mother, I have yet to see a picture of my chidren that is "bad".... but I would like to think that if someone presented me with one like these I would stop to think before slapping down my credit card.

Yes. You are accepted if you can afford the membership.
One thing you get is $15,000 worth of gear insurance. If you were to purchase that on your own, that is about what it would cost and it covers it for professional use as your homeowner insurance does not. Then there is the copyright/legal help if needed, and also the indemnification trust which is analogous to malpractice insurance - something that should be a no-brainer for wedding photographers.
There is a decent magazine and access to online training - some is free and some is at an additional fee.

Every time I see an image with selective color, I have to stifle my gag reflex, but this may have exceeded even that threshold:

Not too bad but you missed a couple of spots on the wedding picture---the flower pots for example. Including these would have enriched the picture immensely. Good try but you only came close. Look forward to more of your work.

Thanks for the reply. Seems like a good deal for professionals.

I'm lost (doesn't take much but still).
Can you explain what you are complaining about?

No complain here Annie,
just another POINT OF VIEW.
It could be just a way to promote this web page by owner with this horrible images. How long it took Captain find this terrible picture,yet he felt he have to share it with us! Would be Captain share nice images with us? I think most likely NO. But for negative advertisement (from Web owner) THIS works!!!
It irritate Captain so much, that he felt he have to talk about it, maybe in sense of learning photography the right way.(I appreciate it)
It is obvious, my mind work differently, i wasn't looking JUST on the pictures i was looking ALSO on other aspect .WHY someone actually try to show something so horrible? Now you understand? Let me know if you do.

PPA Membership is totally different than being awarded Certification by the PPA.
For certification, you write test on the technical side of photography, it's very, very detailed (I took a class offered by the PPA to help me prepare for the actual test). Then you submit 15 images to a panel of judges that review your work including samples of your paid client work from the last 2 years. Its difficult and the judges are looking for every single flaw they can find.

The thing is all of the images on youarenotaphotographer.com are taken from working "professional's" websites. They are showing this stuff as their best.
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.

I can put up with "capture" it is to the point and clear. Bokeh - I don't particularly like the word, but what is there another one with the same meaning? What do you suggest?

Ahhhh - Very different then a paid membership. That sounds like a very difficult acceptance process and a testimonial to your abilities as a photographer. Congratulations.
