FFS thanks to Adobe for not hosting any installer on their servers apart from the current versions. Bought a digital download of Photoshop CS5 and CS6 has been released? gently caress you if you need to reinstall. Anyone have the Photoshop CS5 Windows installer they can sling in a dropbox folder or ftp share while I grab it?

I've got multi-colored dots popping up in all of my darker/night shots that are in the same place in every shot. I'm assuming this is dust. What's the best way to track this down and clean it up? Just one example: http://imgur.com/im8ve

What's the best way to track this down and clean it up? Probably some broken pixels on your sensor. Some cameras are smart enough to disable them after a manual sensor clean. So give that a try. (You have millions...you aren't going to miss a couple). EDIT: wow, that's a lot of hot pixels. It's worth giving my suggestion a try to see if that helps. Lightroom will also magically remove them as well.

I wouldn't say cast-offs - but all films come from a very limited number of manufacturers. According to Da Wiki, there are only 7 currently producing film: Dai Nippon Printing Efke Foma Fujifilm Ilford Lucky Mitsubishi Imaging http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_film

What's the best way to track this down and clean it up? Doing long exposures inside abandoned structures in the middle of a Texas summer would make my T2i do that just before it shut itself down. I don't know about it showing up in the same place every time thing though.

I was about to order these two books from amazon: Speedliter's Handbook and The Creative Digital Darkroom. I already have Understanding Exposure, and seeing as I wanted to make a single order since it's an international shipping, I was wondering if there were any other recommended books I should keep an eye out for. Cheers. /edit: Maybe something about portrait shooting? It's been tickling my fancy lately.

Once you have exposure basics down, and know how to use your light, the best way to learn is to just start shooting. A good place to start is the strobist group on flickr. Browse through the photos and if you see something you like, they'll have a rundown on how it was lit. That said...books are a good reference, but it doesn't beat actually doing it.

Figured out why my first roll got so hosed up: turns out I completely mixed up the two rolls I was shooting with, and thought that the 24 exposure kodak roll was 36 exposures. I think I probably wrenched it to hell after the 24th shot... conversely I just sent out a roll to be developed with 12 shots left on it. I think I need to lie down for a little.

I thought they tied stuff to your adobe ID now, have you tried logging into your account? If that all fails I am sure there are "other" places that you can get an installer from.

A few days ago, I asked for some suggestions on photography books, and I got some good recommendations:DJExile posted:If you like using flashes, The Hotshoe Diaries is fantastic. David Pratt posted:Light, Science and Magic has furthered my understanding of light more than any other photography book I've read. I already had these two books on my sights: Speedliter's Handbook and The Creative Digital Darkroom, and I'm realizing I have 2 books on flashes and 1 on lighting in my cart. Does anyone know if these complement each other, or will they overlap enough so that I should just get one of them for now? Maybe one of the flash ones and the lightning one? Thanks again, and sorry for the dumb questions.

Edmond Dantes posted:A few days ago, I asked for some suggestions on photography books, and I got some good recommendations: On the surface, 'Hotshoe Diaries' and 'Speedlighter's Handbook' look very similar, except one is aimed at Nikon and the other at Canon flashes. I'd pick one of those. The other two shouldn't overlap at all, but if you were to get only one, I'd recommend 'Light Science and Magic'.

Molten Llama posted:Is this camera new enough to still have a warranty? Because, uh... that's bad. It's not, it's an Olympus E-500 that I bought used last year. I had it in the back of my car for a while unsecured from my bag for a few weeks and drove down many dirt roads earlier this year. Swapped lenses out as I had an extra one and the same hot pixels stayed so it's definitely on my sensor. Not sure I have the dexterity to do it myself but there are a few camera shops around town.

I had it in the back of my car for a while unsecured from my bag for a few weeks and drove down many dirt roads earlier this year. Dexterity won't help you here. Hot pixels aren't dust on the sensor, but pixels that for whatever reason end up with a random value. I don't really know the physics of it, but it happens more the longer the exposure. How does the camera perform under more normal conditions, as in, not a long exposure and in good light? From a quick google search, it sounds like your camera is behaving normally, though. The E-500 seems to have problems with long exposures. Your best option is probably to find some software that can deal with it.

So I love scanning color film because the results are awesome, but I hate scanning color film because I'm terrible at getting colors right. Can anyone recommend a site or book or guide or video or workshop or camp or something that can make me not colortarded?

So remember last week when a photo of mine was stolen and used multiple times on a news website? Well the client I shot the photo for is worried about potential negative publicity about my fighting for my intellectual property (I don't get it either), and they've offered to just outright buy the copyright to the image from me. I've never had this situation pop up before. How much should I charge? Lots, right?

I'd say let them make an offer and see what it comes to. Because you shot the photo *for* them, they might just be able to make a grabb for all the rights anyways. Obviously, I'm making assumptions I don't know what the contract looks like.

99.99% of the time the copyright stays with the photographer regardless of the situation of the original shoot. The contract has to specifically say otherwise, and unless the money is good enough most photographers don't give it up. I certainly didn't. Doing some quick research it looks like anywhere from $2500 to $5000+ is normal. That sound about right?

The contract has to specifically say otherwise, and unless the money is good enough most photographers don't give it up. I certainly didn't. Depends on how the contract is worded. To be safe, I basically word all work in terms of licensing. If you don't have a contract at all, and you were paid to shoot something for someone, it could be argued that the image is theirs. Just make sure your contract is in order. I don't think you can put a blanket cost on a photo though. It all depends on what it is, what it's likely to be used for, how marketable it is, etc etc etc. How much do you think it's worth? Start there.

evil_bunnY posted:You have no idea what you're talking about. The rule of thumb is tat the shooter keeps the rights, and licenses whatever is necessary to the organization giving him the assignement. Rule of thumb doesn't necessarily translate in a courtroom if it went to that. I don't know what his contract looks like, so I can't give good advice. As long as it uses 'licensing' terms, he's fine. If it was just a verbal "Hey, can you shoot X for me and give me the photos", it could get ugly. I'm just saying to cover your bases. No need to get militant over it. You gotta be realistic...especially when you are talking about money. Plus if you are asking these types of questions, I'm going to make the assumption that your ducks weren't in a row. vxsarin fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Aug 14, 2012 |

I'm pretty sure even in a courtroom the rights are going to go to the photographer UNLESS there is a written contract saying otherwise. Why the hell would the person being photographed get automatic rights to something.
