The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

Here are some of Hadrian's Wall, most are between 3-5 minutes in the hours between 11:30pm - 1:30am.

Some media shots I've just done after spotting a massive black cloud behind our house. 3000 views on flickr in 30 minutes and loads of people who want to have the photos for their website etc. Oddly, nobody wants to pay. I don't know how people make a living out of journo photos. Not something I'm going to bother with anyway!

Wonder how many people steal them, Andy.

Nice shots though.

 

[Derelict-UK]

It's always worth putting a watermark in the middle of a shot (even if it is virtually unreadable), this will help stop people lifting the image and using it elsewhere, especially in reportage images.

 

[Andy.]

I'm just going to search over the coming days and send a copyright infringment email to anybody that does steal them.... the good that will do!

 

[Andy.]

Sod it, I let one guy have them for his site on the promise that he gave me the credit and a link to my own site (too bad I still don't have any content on it!)

Is that a big media site over there Andy? Least you're getting some recognition for it!

That article was read 1500 times in 10 minutes... not too bad i guess!

In this day and age, people just want things for free. That's why i think it's so hard to make money in photojournalism

Cracking pictures though!

I recently sold an image taken in Scotland of an old building that happens to be on a popular walking route.

AA Publishing got in touch and asked to use it in a coffee table book and digital download version, to be printed worldwide and they also wanted rights for subsequent editions.

For 1 image, that I still own rights and copyright to, I got £265.00

The pic..

Took this on a day trip to the lakes, heavy rain and fog called off play though so only managed a couple of shots of this stream running down the mountains.

This thread keeps on getting better. Nice fire captures Andy, not surprised to hear that nobody wants to pay. Someone contacted me a while ago to ask to use some of my military photos in a book....after providing a very reasonable quote I got a very quick "No thanks..."!

Here's one from this afternoon. First time I have stuck my Sigma 10-20mm on my 7D, and probably first time I've used my 10-20mm for a year or so - shame.

Some good shots there mate for a beginner. Keep at it, the guides in here are excellent and also read your camera manual. It will help loads.

A shot i have done for a family member for a local packaging business. Dan Freeman has been asked but he is away this week, however will be back on saturday to do the same shots also to be used on the website and brochures.

Im sure Dan will add a couple of his next week

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Well I didnt expect to be out with the camera today at all but the missus had an interview at 11:45 in town and i thought i would go for a wander round newcastle while i waited... about half an hour later a huge fire broke out at Byker scrap yard...

Not everything is quite as it seems..... a little bit of photoshopping to remove the two leather straps attached to his feet
