Over-use of HDR
on photos. Always done by people who think they know about photography, but really just own an SLR and think good photos are the ones with the highest contrast

I love that site

HDR's a fun effect, I think
You're right though, it's really overused and usually by people who want you to say that they're a great photographer when, really, they just know how to use Photoshop.

I'm much more impressed by people who can use the actual camera to produce effects, rather than editing software.

they don't even know how to use photoshop properly
photoshop is a proper skill, too, they just hit a couple of buttons they think will work

I'm just far more impressed by people
with practical, mechanical ability. Probably because it's where my own modest ability lies. I'm nothing if not self-involved.

Meh
I can barely do anything except adjust the black and white saturation levels. I think you're safe with me.

Overuse
of any cunt with an SLR who thinks they're a photographer. That bugs me no end.
