As the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have shown us time and time again, animal photos don’t have to be perfect to put a smile on our face.
But the Facebook group ‘Crap bird photography’ takes this notion to another level. As the people behind the online community explain in its About section, the group is dedicated to those images that aren’t up to scratch.
“You know the story: there’s always something in the way, they just won’t pose right; the camera does something it shouldn’t; wrong exposure, fuzzy photos, can’t get the bird in the frame, etc, etc,” they write. “We preferably want photos of wild birds. Funny photos are acceptable, but keep in mind the main emphasis should be on photos gone wrong.”
So continue scrolling to check out the group’s latest viral posts and fire up our first publication on it for the earlier ones!
