taking pictures = photography. Also, it's quite possible for people to take awful pictures of flowers and quite possible for people to take amazing artistic ones, so......

I like taking pictures of flowers in black and white to make me seem brooding and deep.

You just obviously have a deep hatred for flowers and plants.

I think you mean...it doesn't make you an artist. But yeah, it's photography. Just like filming a wall is still filmmaking.

Using your logic, I could argue that posting without an account is NOT Posting.

I think this post is going out to all the 13 year old girls who turn their phone onto black and white, tilt it at an angle and take a picture of a plant. Then they make an album called photography. thats not photography. Thats a snapshot, and there is a difference. Flowers can be gorgeous photog. shots, but just because you take one doesn't make you a photographer.

oh my god stop being so immature. Obviously the op meant when like teenage girls take pictures of random things (ie flowers) and then outing it in a facebook album labeled "photography!!" (we all know someone) it its not art or professional standard photography. Which is true

Obviously just going into your backyard with your point and shoot isn't photography. However, there are some very good photographers who do nature photography (like the ones posted above me) and put a lot of work into taking great pictures of flowers and plants who would be really pissed if they read this.

Not ANYTHING is photography, but I go to a high school for kids that are talented in art (dance, visual arts, singing, etc.) and a lot of the visual artists take photos of plants/flowers/etc. and they're really amazing and artistic. But just because you take photos with your Nikon or cell phone and edit them and put them on Facebook does not make you a photographer.

Depends on your definition of "Taking pictures" of them. Stealing a hastily drawn tree from a 7 year old is NOT photography. Using a camera to create a photo of a tree is by definition photography (by virtue of the fact you are creating a photo). Many would however say that photography of that tree is not art as such. But thats the point of art its subjective. Or am i just crazy?

I really hate those teenage girls who think they're photographers just because they can change pictures to black and white while editing them. It puts a bad message out there for the teenage girls who really do want to be photographers. Now whenever I say I want to be a photographer, I have to hear "Oh what do you do, take black and white photo's of lawn chairs? Hahahaha you can't be a photographer."
