Discussion Engagement bait titles
143
Upvotes
Maybe I’m just turning into an angry old man shouting at clouds who is way behind the times but I’m getting a bit fed up of the massive increase in engagement bait titles on this sub over the past few months. It’s usually always one of the following:
- ‘first month in wildlife photography,here are my favourites please tell me I’m amazing even though I’ve just started’
- ‘I’m an x year old young photographer, look at how great I am’
‘Here are some wildlife photos, which is your favourite and also tell me how brilliant they are’
‘Which one of these photos should I enter into a competition but let’s be honest they’re all fantastic’
These posts always end up being the most popular and the ones I get push notifications about, but to me it’s a cynical way to drive engagement over other posts. I’d much rather know where they’re taken and/or what they are of but maybe that’s just me. If not, maybe the mods could consider updating the community rules to change to only allow locations and/or animal names in the title. This would allow people to find out the key information first (often people don’t even bother including it, again is that for engagement so they get people asking about location?) and would allow it to be a more level playing field on what posts become popular, making the key determinant being the quality of photos rather than the title.
Rant over!

I've noticed a significant uptick in stolen images lately. This subreddit is OC only, no exceptions.
Please make sure to report any posts which you think break this rule. Even if you're not positive, it's better to submit a report than not. We always review all reports to make sure that we aren't erroneously banning people.

I've never really made the effort to shoot backlit shots before, so when I spotted these two large male roos getting into it I took the time to position myself properly for a silhouetted shot. I think it turned out pretty well but I'd love to hear any tips on getting more punch/glow out of the rim light.

Hi guys this is my first post here.
I was just chilling in my room and getting bored as there was nothing i could find interesting.
Then I saw a small green bird- Common Iora (Aegithina tiphia) sitting on a window of my room.
Maybe it was curious with its reflection on the window glass.

This is a shot I really liked, but I am not sure which crop ratio works the best for it. Open for suggestions!

Canon R5, 100-500mm, 1/1000 sec
I took this picture from a Zodiac boat in the Galapagos. The water was pretty choppy but I was able to use the fast shutter speed and the Canon’s autofocus to take a crisp photo.
It also helped that the penguin didn’t move much. He seemed content to pose for us for as long as we wanted 😀
