<p>I have taken all types of street/public photography, fisheye, to extreme telephoto (600mm lens with a 2x doubler)<br>

In my personal experience, when using the wide angle lenses, people could care less what I am doing, or they try to pose for the photo. When using the telephoto, I get questions from the public and police.<br>

Some of my best vacation photos are candid photos of people on the streets where I am traveling.<br>

Do I think banning this guy goes to far? Not sure, because I do not know what is public/private in the area where he was taking pictures. You can take pictures of people on private land as long as you are on a public street (I believe the restriction is telephoto through a fence, a window, over a tall fence, etc.)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, a good number of brides, do not know the proper questions to ask, to make sure a "photographer" is actually the "photographer"</p>

<p>I would not trust ebay for software. However, ask the seller if they are willing to send along a signed software license transfer form. These forms are available from Adobe's support pages.<br>

If they do not want to bother with the form, then I would assume it is a pirated copy.</p>

I generally use f2.8- f5.6 and shutter of 1/400 or 1/500. I use a flash for all pics. I shoot ISO 800 for most fields but have used 1000 and 1250 for a couple.

I also only take pics that are plays to the sidelines. If I want pics of players running straight ahead, I get those when the team is on the goal line so I can shoot from the back of the endzone.

 

Your sb800 flash should sync at 1/500, but I have never used that flash.

I took this picture a couple weeks ago on my D70s. It is a 10 second exposure on tripod

Not the correct forum, but I will answer to the best of my knowledge.

1. Yes you automatically own the copyright to any pic as soon as you take it.

2. If someone were to use your image without your permission, you have to register the

copyright with the copyright office. Even though you 'own' the picture, you can not take

anything to court unless you have the official copyright office document.

3. no people makes it easier to sell in a sense. If you have a photo with someone drinking

a can of pepsi, while wearing a Jeff Gordan hat and pepsi jacket, then you most likely can

not easily sell that image. You may own the image, but another company owns all those

trademarks documented in the photo.

4. I do not sell my work, so I can not answer this question for you.

I would leave the picture as is and distorted.

 

I agree you can not post his photo, but you can upload a 1" square of the edge of the glasses and distortion (There would be no way to determine who is in the picture of that type of crop)

Your admission most likely had the limitation of photographs on sight for private use only not commercial. Check with the air show director/airport first since they may have a set fee to shoot commercial for the day.

1) Does this only happen on your computer or on any computer you try?

2) I would try and download the pics by plugging the camera directly into the computer (I hate doing this personally but it is a last resort)

Pictures of the earth, NASA (Nasa.gov) and the HubbleTelescope (hubblesite.org/) websites

have plenty of images of Earth and other space objects. They have made all their images

copyright free but you must get permission to use the image if this is a forprofit collage.

directly from the national park website:

The Tioga Rd (Hwy 120 through the park) and the Glacier Point Rd are closed until late May or June.

The high temps have ranged between 39 and 60 during the last week of march.

Good information Carolyn. I just want to add my 2 cents.

 

In order to bring a copyright infringement lawsuit against someone, the copyright must be registered with the copyright office.

"The use of a copyright notice is no longer required under U.S. law" and

"The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright."

 

These are directly from the United States copyright law information.

Basically in the United States, photos are copyrighted the instant they are created. No © symbol is needed.

 

Even though the image is owned by you, it does not allow for easy legal action. If I remember it right, you have to file the copyright papers with the feds to receive an official piece of paper which will allow you to take the copyright infringement to the courts.

 

Just looked and I was correct.

"You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement"

 

copyright.gov has a fairly easy to read copyright faq and in depth information.
