    I love #58.


    The subject matter of this link is SFW. ; One image is on the bubble if you have one of those ultra-restrictive environments.

    A link at the bottom of the page probably is NSFW. ; (It's about the Five most bizarre amusement parks) ; So just avoid it if you must.

    I don't normally like photography 'rules' but those were some solid tips.

    yeah, it should be 78 "tips" not rules.

    Except for #58.

    That one's a rule.

    Bleh.. but #9 is just a matter of using either a tilt shift lens or else doing perspective correction in post processing.. "don't make it look wrong" is hardly informative. ; Oh I know this is supposed to be a big joke, but at least make the point clear. ; This is supposed to be a list of obvious points, distortions visible in converging lines that should be parallel is hardly obvious.

    And I object to #58. ; If people followed #58 then I wouldn't have been able to see some of my favorite posts on thisisphotobomb.com. ; Um, since it's been brought up, the images posted there are sometimes not safe for work.

    Well now, some of my relatives would take better pics if they broke rule #58!

    lol ; I am SO guilty of #21. ; I seem to have a penchant for making things grow out of my family's heads.
