<p>OK . . . I'm certain that I could do the research on this if I had the time but I suspect that I might be able to get quick answers here:<br /><br />My son is in a high school marching band. The parent are constantly warned not to post videos of the bands performances online in posts like the following:<br /><br />"Parents, please DO NOT POST ANY VIDEOS of the Marching Band shows online ANYWHERE. We pay for the rights to use the music in the show, but not for public distribution. If the companies see it, we could lose the rights to the music, now and in the future. Thanks for understanding!"<br /><br />It has been MY understanding that since the band doesn't use the entire score of any song, along with several other factors, this is not, in truth, an issue.<br /><br />The publishers MAY be giving these warnings to the band associations, but they wouldn't have a leg to stand on if pushed.<br /><br />I see all sorts of college marching bands on YouTube, including Rutgers which has their own YouTube channel, Ohio State and many, many, others.<br /><br />Can anyone come up something to support or refute this?<br> Thanks,<br> Ed</p>

<p>The other issue that can cause this to be different from roll to roll is how long the film is in the camera. If a full roll is shot quickly, the fogging exposure from the light leak may not be noticeable. If the film sits in the camera for a day or two between exposures, the fogging will be denser and will penetrate multiple layers of the film.<br> While processing an unexposed roll may be useful, try shooting half of the roll and rewind the film back into the canister. <br> The last thing that I can think of might be your handling of the 35mm canisters. You may be allowing light to leak in through the film slot while getting ready to process.</p>

<p>Didn't we previously do this on Wednesdays?</p>

<p>"The Camera" by Ansel Adams</p>

<p>Give him the images with YOUR BUSINESS NAME AND CONTACT INFOMRATION ON THE PHOTO! Let him know, in advance, that you will be including this information and get his agreement, in writing, that he will not remove it or he will pay you some fee for the usage. Make the fee reasonable, but make it clear that you will collect it.<br /><br />You should also let the client know if the two of you reach an agreement.</p>

<p>I recently purchased a used D3100 for my wife and kids to use. When downloading the first few cards used in the camera, I have noticed that it creates a large number of folders on the SD card. Often two or more of these folders contain files of the same name. This makes copying the images a bit of a pain. I never have this problem with my D7000s and never had it with my D200s before that.<br /><br />I don't seem to be able to find anything in the menu system that would be applicable. Any help?</p> <p>Thanks,</p>

<p>That is simply terrible advice John . . . Even if she were to justify the emergency to your satisfaction, why would she rebook with you after being questioned?</p>

<p>What is it with people? <br> First, if you are booking studio time for sessions, you MUST get a deposit to cover your costs. There is no way around this. Talk to any business owner who books appointments and ask them about "no-shows". This isn't rocket science and it has nothing to do with photography. It is simply Business 101.<br> Second, you can "charge" her for whatever you want. It only becomes a legal issue if she doesn't pay and YOU decide to take her to court. Which I wouldn't recommend.<br> For THIS client, I would re-book her, with a deposit and not charge her anything extra . . . </p> <p> </p>
