Might sound like an odd question, but I'm putting together a poster for a photography talk my riding club is organising and would like some examples of bad photos (anything from out of focus to missing rider/horse heads to late/early jumping pics) to use in the Poster.
Good photos would also be appreciated!
I'm using something like:
"Do your photos always turn out like this? (bad photo)
Want to turn them into this? (good photo!)"

Any proceeds from the talk will be going towards the TV&C Air Ambulance, so any help is appreciated
Thanks!

Sorry - I've tried to upload some really awful pictures! But it won't let me! I do quite like my profile pic (see left) which you could use if you think it good enough!

That is so creepy as I hadnt even read the bit about it being for tvac until after I posted!!!! The forum can be a weird place sometimes!!

I just rang my mum to tell her, as thought it was quite funny, she said she would happily come to your talk to improve her skills!!!
 
I see you're lookign for some okay ones too - I was always quite pleased with this one, one of the few that ever came out okay (amongst the hundreds of bad ones aha :D)

Bad cat photos.

^Don't let the cat play with the lens cap when you are trying to photograph him. :p

^Don't use a flash when photographing a cat (even if it is in the fridge) as you will get the 'glowing eye' effect. ;)

^Wait until your cat has stopped freaking out doing his crazy panther impression. :D

^Much better. :)
 
I have plenty of bad ones and a few good ones online at http://www.triciaclark.co.uk/ECH.html - you're welcome to use any of them just PM me and I'll send you the real files (rather than something of a contact sheet!) Bad ones are easy to find (a lot of the opens are out of focus cos I was being rubbish and over-exposed cos I was in a crap position for the sun (couldn't move cos was fence judging at the same time :D). Think my favourites of the rare good ones are on the last contact sheet of the Teams of Three, e.g.:
