<p>It is hard to start out, but as you gain experience and equipments you will get better. Good luck with that.</p>

<p>Also, the way you write, w/o caps and some punctuation, makes me think you are not too serious about things or your work anyway. Thanks.</p>

<p> A few people getting their percents and ratios mixed up here . . .</p>

<p>Unfortunately, no.</p>

<p>Check out the eye-fi site. They have some good support pages on the geotagging issue, how it works (uses WPS, not GPS), how it does not, and how to get it to work. Good luck.</p>

<p>Alex,</p>

<p>I have been using this too (Pro X2) and it works fine, especially as Scott mentions, since they have worked out most bugs with their latest updates etc.</p>

<p>I am getting the Error 80 with the card on the 5D Mark 3 and some have mentioned the eye-fi card is the cause, but I am not sure, still testing that theory out. In any case, a battery pull resolves the error 80.</p>

<p>Maybe he assumed you were a he? No harm.</p>

<p>I especially like the silhouette pic, where he looks like Elvis.</p>

<p>Oh, I see.</p>

Also look at the 430EX II.

<p>Touche!</p>

<p>Thanks Yakim, I was looking for that and you helped me answer a question I had.</p>

Question: reading above, sounds like the 420 EX can be a slave to a 580 EX ? Do I understand correctly?

 

Thanks

There is a big "and" after that partial quote, Thomas.

Nice shots and narrative. Enjoyed it. Thanks.

I'm guessing tis a 10D he has . . .

Fair enough.

 

Sounds good. Thanks.

Melissa: My intent was not to get touchy and if that came across I am sorry it did.

 

Bob: A professional artist's labor cost or concept is not the same as a photographer's in this instance in my opinion. When an artist sells a work he/she did, they do not list out a day rate or hourly rate on the invoice (such as an invoice may be in that case). Their time is intrinsic and embedded in the selling price of the work of art. A photographer selling/donating a print etc. can easily produce an invoice for the cost of materials as well as the cost of his or her time (cost of time here meaning what they would charge to set up and take the shot and any digital processing time for that matter too I suppose). I am not CPA or lawyer and my opinion is no more valid than Bob's or Melissa's. But, I do work every day with probono transactions at a non-profit and I can only say this is my experience. Alas, a CPA and or a lawyer should be consulted of course for this particular question.

You CAN deduct costs of your time and services. What Melissa is quoting from about is stuff about donated artwork, stocks and real estate that HAS APPRECIATED in value after the donor first acquired it. What Bob, I think, is talking about in this thread is an image/photo/print allowed to be used by a charity. If so, the value of that is what he otherwise could or would sell it for INCLUDING his cost of materials and labor etc. Snippets of info off web sites (IRS, CNN, etc) are not helpful here and are in fact being interpreted incorrectly.

Yes Bob.

 

You use the actual market value - not your cost. Wherever you heard that, it is wrong for sure. You use the value that you would otherwise sell it for. In fact, the best way you put a value on it, for their records, is to give them an invoice with your charge. On the next line of invoice you would then say something like, "less discount" and put in the same amount as the charge. In fact some providers only give a partial deduction/break on a good or service. For example, a charity could hire a banquet hall/hotel for their annual benefit dinner for 1,000 people for, say, $100,000. The banquet hall would then invoice for $100,000 and, if giving them a break, on the next line might say, "less discount" of $15,000. The net the charity pays is $85,000 and the probono amount is $15,000. Pretty routine stuff really. Happens all the time just like this.

You can value the image and you can take a tax deduction. Providing a "goods or service" to a non-profit is called "probono." They will want you to place a value on the good or service provided. They will then list that contribution of goods or services on the revenue side, with an excat offsetting amount on the expense side. You can deduct the same value, within, the IRS guidelines and limits of course, as a "charitable donation."

Mr Ellis, you should leave law to the lawyers and stick to photography. You are out of your league. Please sit down.
