Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Let alone including yourself in the picture. I know how you look like.

Let alone including your loved ones in the picture.

Even when their disappointment of having to face away from the monument is clearly visible in the photo.

And then you make them do stuff like 'hold the sun in your hands' or whatever.

It just never really occurs to me. Even if I already have the camera in my hand, the things that strikes me as needing to be shot are shadows, textures, bits of old concrete and machinery. It’s not that I actively choose not to, just that people are almost always less interesting than moss on a bit of old concrete

I agree. I do have a handful of pictures that I look at, like when I pointed a camera just above some buildings and cranked the shutter time to the max to capture the skyglow. But for every such picture there are a hundred more that are just sitting there.

I’ve started using a cheap printing service to get physical copies of the ones I like, and trying to use them around my house a bit
