Bit of a Intellectual Property debate in a PGT about re-using a gif he created...

Ahhh gotcha, well if my images are stolen / re-produced by others attempting to make money or promote their products or websites without permission will be in deep doo-doo.

This was just a simple re-posting of an image.

Personally, I put a creative commons license on my photos, so anyone can use them as long as they link back to the source (or credit me if its print media). I'm not in it to make money, so I like seeing people use them, and 90% of the time it's not-for-profit organizations.

I've had them used on dozens of websites and in about 5-6 magazines and books. One of my photos is actually a textbook cover in Pakistan (for impoverished children that couldn't otherwise afford textbooks).

Here is another pic from Sunday. I used photoshop to crop it. It's a damn shame the sun wasn't shining as their eyes are such a vibrant yellow in the sunlight.




edit: Let me know if it is too big for the page.

Just got back from New Zealand two days ago.

Took thousands of pictures. Mostly landscapes, but lots of architecture, wildlife, people and aircraft photography included as well... only 175 - 200 keepers though. Don't worry, I'll feed them out slowly

Here are my 3 favorite 'reflection' photos:

Killer shots Scotian. I recommend everyone to swing by and check out the rest of his New Zealand photostream.

Here is another shot from the Gasoline Alley Museum.

I was tweaking my original photo of the Bow and couldn't decide which to upload to flickr. So I just put them all together and posted it as one large collage.

Toured a wildlife rescue institue today NW of Airdrie. Got a ton of shots, will go through in the next few days. I had a beaver try and eat my camera bag. Met a shy porcupine and an angry canada goose, to name a few. Here's a rescued owl:

The sky kind of looks like it has a halo effect around the building. How did you do that? (I have a few theories.)

I'm gonna take a guess before he responds and say he's using the Clarity adjustment in Lightroom.

With the sun hitting the South side of the Bow, the halo was already kinda there on that side.
I then added a slight vignette and boosted the contrast and tweaked the levels a little bit.

The B&W and Sepia versions were boosted a bit more.
