land_photos = sorted(list(land.photo.select_related()),reverse =True)
while start < 8:
    photo = 'photo%s' % start
    checked = form.cleaned_data[photo]
    if checked != None:
        checked_list.append(land_photos[start - 1])
        start += 1            
for a_foto in checked_list:
     land.photo.remove(a_foto)
     try:
         a_foto.remove_all_file()
         a_foto.delete()
     except OSError:
         pass

and then i get an error like this

Exception Type:     AssertionError
Exception Value:    
Picture object can't be deleted because its id attribute is set to None.

Documentation:

>>> land.photo.remove(some_picture)

Or the other way around, using the provided related_name argument:

>>> picture.Land_Pictures.remove(some_land)

By default, without related_name, it would be:

>>> picture.land_set.remove(some_land)
