<p>Ian, what are the light conditions? I mean is it day light, or inside very dark interior? At what ISO are you shooting? Make sure that you AF-assist light is ON.</p>

<p>I definitely agree with <a name="00d4E9"></a><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=2009087">Stephen Thomason</a> - get yourself an attorney.<br> I don't agree with statement </p> <blockquote> <p>Unless the contract stipulates some sort of expiration date for your permission to use the images in the way that was described, no - the passage of five years' time doesn't grant you new rights to make that contract go away.</p> </blockquote> <p>I'm not an attorney but I know that all legal contracts must have an expiration date. If the contract doesn't have on - the contract may be voidable.<br> Good luck!</p>

<p>Geo, for a little more than a price of a new tele converter you can get a used old version of 300mm f4 lens of good quality that will outperform anything else. I have one of those 300mm with screw drive focus and it's one of the sharpest lenses that I have.</p>

<p>In my second attempt I cropped the image to concentrate the focus on the people.</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17945095-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="453" /></p> <p> </p>

<p>My attempt was not so radical. Actually I took 2 attempts. First, I just fixed the vertical distortion and played a little with levels and saturation.</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17945096-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="453" /></p> <p> </p>

<p>I know my response is not going to be very popular here but this is my reasoning:</p> <ul> <li>You didn't create these pictures on you own time and than tried to sell them.</li> <li>You didn't sell you services and expertise to the author, the magazine did.</li> <li>The author probably doesn't even know you and doesn't care weather it will be you or another photographer who is going to take his pictures for a particular magazine for a particular reason.</li> </ul> <p>So, tell me, why should it be anything else but work for hire.</p> <p> </p>

<p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17937695-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="510" />Here is my offer</p>
