Question: I want to take the most cliche image possible!.!.!.what should I include!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you need to somehow get a fire hydrant, a park swing, a lone tree, and railroad tracks all in the same picture!. HAHA a photo teacher's worst nightmare!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A sunset couple strolling the beach in silhouette!.
Closeup of any flower!.
Closeup of water droplet on said flower!.
OR
A self portrait done with camera at arm's length!. Be sure to pout or make fishlips, have it out of focus and use the highest ISO possible so it will be good and noisy!. Done in the bathroom is supreme, but at least in a cluttered bedroom!.

Be sure to post the results and ask if you are pretty!.

The other cliche subject is wedding formals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

family pet, dog, cat etc!. preferably out of focus and with flash used to destructive effect!. Extra cliche points if random bits of the animal are cut off at the frame edge: leg, tail, part of an ear etc!. Supreme grand master cliche points if you ask 'what do you think of my photography!?' and get at least one answer that says 'Awwwwww he's sooo cute!!!!!!!!!'Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh - handheld self portrait in the bathroom, cam held above head pointing down in bad yellow light, and be sure to get the color balance/focus very wrong!. Use a wide angle up real close so that it looks like a pocket cam!.

The old "shoot a pic of yourself in the mirror shooting a pic" shot is a great one!. people never seem to tire of that one!.

Bad shots of the family pet, flowers !.!.!. so many choices !.!.!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some grass and trees in the backyard, keep the focus very soft and don't forget to skew the imaginary horizon line!. A corner of a clotheline jutting into the shot will help too!.

Good luck with that!.!. I see you are being mischievious today !! hehehehe!. :o)Www@QuestionHome@Com

How about this:
A picture of a dog running toward the camera with the flash, keep the horizon crooked, blur everything, and keep the dog's eyes in color while everything else is black and white!. I think that covers about everything!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a friend standing by their new car!.
anything involving a parade
santa with some kid in his lap!.!.!.the kid crying!.
all the relatives at a reunion, a tad overexposed because of the sun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a senior picture with the person leaning up against a tree - be sure they are holding a rose or wearing the schools football jersey - or a guitar or wearing a cowboy hatWww@QuestionHome@Com

A rose, a rose, a rose!.!.!. did I say a rose!?

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
