Techniques for Creating Worse Images

Avoid using the following methods to create images that are worse than your aunt's vacation photos:

• Use only a smartphone camera with a shattered lens.
• Point the camera at a wall with a weird texture.
• Shoot in low-light conditions with a flash that's been duct-taped on.
• Take a 10-second video and call it a still life.
• Use a camera that's 10 years old and has a 'Save to Disk' button that only works on Fridays.
• Post-processing in iMovie and then save as a JPEG.
• Use a camera with a 1MP sensor, a 5x digital zoom, and a 20x optical zoom.
