I shot some pictures over the Halloween weekend of a girl dressed in the flight attendant costume from The Fifth Element on a corporate jet for that added "I'm on a jet" feel. Not my best work, but there are some gems in there. Definitely a learning experience when it came to transitioning from the weak light inside the jet to the harsh arc-sodium lamps in the hangar. It made me wish my ABs had come in and blah blah blah. http://gallery.prairiesquid.com/v/onicon2009/t5e if you want to see some lovely pictures today. ANYWAY... After I put the gallery up the model asked if she could take a few and put them on myspace/DeviantArt/FB/etc. No problem there since these were basically loving around shots. What she posts though are pictures that are slightly cropped to remove my watermark, made contrasty as gently caress, and with her skin smoothed to that unnatural doll-like finish. On top of all that, she added some weird white cursive text with her website and a portion of my URL. I'm still on the boarder of calling bullshit and telling her to take them down, and just letting it go.

So are we now at the end-times for the digital SLR? Will the only people using them be quaint old fogeys who have to struggle with things like focus and making sure some fiddley settings are correct while the real photographers are getting 35 shots of the same cypress knee in the same amount of time? Ahh technology.

Alright! A Nikonos V! Those are pretty excellent cameras for above water shooting if you mount the 35mm amphibious lens. You don't have to freak out if it rains, the camera gets stuff splashed on it, or you drop it in water. The only issue is that focusing is a little difficult.

Pompous Rhombus posted:It's unlikely that he has it, but in the case of old photos/etc that are in public domain, doing extensive restoration/processing work on them results in a new copyrighted work. At my job we do a lot of this, although it's basically given away for free for educational use anyways. I guess that makes sense, though it looks like he photographed a picture from a newspaper or encyclopedia. I doubt that qualifies as "extensive restoration."

I have a friend who's wife is in the "If I have a more expensive camera, I will take better pictures" crowd. To her, expensive camera always ends up meaning "entry level DSLR" and she still ends up taking terrible pictures. I have a feeling this is most entry level DSLR buyers and it used to piss me off. If you're not going to ever take the drat thing out of AUTO, why are you buying it? Then I realized that the more people that bought DSLRs, even if they were terrible photographers who used the camera as a crutch, the more the prices on DSLRs would drop, and the more likely it was that someone would eventually fire sale price a camera I wanted on eBay or Craig's list. So, buy on uninformed consumers! Keep thinking that it is the camera that takes the great pictures and not the photographer!

"See these professional quality pictures? Do you know what kind of camera they use? Here is a link. Its called a Hasselblad. 50 megapixels. FIFTY! Think of how excellent your photos would look at FIFTY megapixels! Think of how envious all of the other soccer moms are going to be when you pull up in your Hybrid SUV and a FIFTY megapixel camera. FIFTY! Think of all your friends and their 10.1 megapixel cameras. You could have a single camera that has as many megapixels as five of your friends. FIFTY! Plus, the name recognition on these cameras is amazing. Its like driving a Jaguar or BMW. In fact, think of this as the BMW of cameras. I'm sure that if BMW made a camera, it would look like a Hasselblad H3 and its fifty megapixels of photo perfection. As always, when you get tired of the pictures the H3 puts out because they aren't as good as the magazine photographers, I'll give you $300 for it."

I really wish DSLRs were built with with an eye toward being upgraded. Though, I would assume the sensor is a major factor in the cost, so there may not be any sort of cost savings.

For someone who claims to have worked in television and on HDTV in the NINETEEN EIGHTYS he's pretty loving clueless about how digital cable works. I wonder if he's got an onion tied to his belt. You know, it was the style at the time. In fact, I remember when I used to take the ferry to Shelbyville with K-ROCK, who in those days was called Keneith Vos Rockgrandly. Anyway, we had onions tied to our belts, because it was the style at the time, but you couldn't get nice white onions, on account of the war being on, so we had big yellow onions tied to our belts, because it was the style at the time. Back in those days, the ferry cost a nickel, which has pictures of bees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Anyway, where was I?

There is an easier way of doing that, and it is as simple as being more careful with your language. Might I suggest: "Filmshittery" "That is so stupid" "Your photography is unmoving and poorly composed" The English language is wonderfully diverse and you can use all sorts of words to let others know of your disdain for something without making GBS threads all over their race, sex, sexual preference, etc. If there aren't enough words in English for you, substitute something from another language or why not make up one of your own! s'fun!

Finding studio space I can afford is proving to be a right pain in the rear end. I've learned not to mention I'm looking to use the space for a photo studio. That suddenly knocks the price up a few bucks a square foot. At this point, I may say gently caress it and use get a storage unit and use that. You'd think with all the burble about the real estate markets crashing and all the un-leased space sitting around you could find some deals, but alas. That, or maybe I should co-op with someone. I wish Houston was a tad more friendly on that account.

I'm 6' 4" as well, but a good portion of the people I shoot end up getting a weird high angle if I'm not careful. So, hunching over, bending at the waist a little, bending the knees a little, yeah... it sucks. I end up looking like a polio survivor when I'm shooting. That or I just get down on one knee. That helps.

There is this bag of dicks photographer in California who I have a personal, deep, and abiding thing against. He goes by Lionel Lum and he's somehow managed to parlay a single good photograph in to an ego the size of a small moon. I asked him, once, how he was setting his camera and if he knew his highlights were consistently blown out. What fstop are you using and have you tried stopping down that shutter just a bit? The response... "Hey, I don't need to know about shutters or fstops or any of that other bullshit, I just know that I take amazing pictures that everyone likes. Oh, and I do it with a point and shoot." The amazing pictures he's talking about are like...   and  And according to him, this was all done on purpose, because that's what great photography is all about.
