I saw another post on Facebook earlier this week about most annoying photography trends in 2014.  HDR was leading the list.  I'd like to see how this boards feels about most annoying photography trend.  Which would you say is on top of your list?

Starting a photography business two days after buying a first camera.

Street photography by someone wearing $300 dollar shoes.

Oh man, what is it called when the photo is black and white, with just one color still showing?

:ntf:  Good ones! :thumbsup:

Wut irks me the most is the overuse of the work "amazing".  Not even Ansel Adams took an amazing image every time.

"Stunning" would be my pet peeve.  So many images that are not "stunning." FStoppers is the most egregious abuser of this word.

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

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.
