Selective color, especially the use of the color red.  I see this everywhere. Trendy, but boring.

Across the board de-saturation is also getting to be common.

 ?Photoshopping to death to the point the photo no longer looks like a photo but instead more like an oil painting. To me its just laziness

Street photography by someone wearing $300 dollar shoes.




And then placing a Craigslist ad claiming to be a pro because they have a "Pro" camera.

Then posting on their favorite sites, and asking how to pose, best lenses to use and advice on how to bill a shoot....:blink:

Why so serious?

I don't mind good HDR, but the stuff that is just so obvious overcooked gets at me and when traveling the iPads, tablets and other smart devices in the air snapping shots that will only end up on Facebook, are in front of my frame. That kind of gets to me too.

More power to you if you make money doing this, but photographing newborns who are barely out of the womb wearing tutu's and knitted caps while lying in a basket.

Black and white. That'll never catch on.

Seriously though. I don't like instagram style filters.

No we can't.

But, yeah, boasting about HW is just a symptom of GAS.
