Here’s some photos from Shell, Wyoming in the US. The author covered lots of bases – abstract, macro, long exposure water, night shots. Superb!
14 photos and a story from Cairo. Lovely shots of people and places.

Must read this copyright application tutorial

You already own it. In most cases, unless you specifically signed away your rights, you – the photographer – own the copyright and the right to license and re-license the image in any way you choose. This is true even if you have not registered your copyright or put your copyright notice on the image. Where registration makes a real difference is when something has gone wrong and your rights are being infringed.

Interesting. You can register your photo with ASMP to help protect your copyright. I haven’t had any problem with copyright yet, and hopefully won’t in the future either!
And did you think you could publish and profit from your City photos?

In addition to property-release issues, you also need to think about copyright concerns vis-a-vis buildings if they were built after December 1, 1990. Before that, buildings did not have copyright protection and were thus, by definition, in the public domain. Shoot away.

I presume that applies in the US, is the law the same in the EU?

I love most of the images on this page!
I wonder if I could pick out my own “best of year” photo collection and post them here. Some of the pic of the day photos would make it, as well as a few that are still lying dormant on my PC at home.

I took a quick look through the gallery here and recognised a few locations. 🙂
He uses the Flash “SimpleViewer” as a gallery front end which looks nice, but takes ages to load. 🙁

Amazing how light works sometimes.

A Swan on the River Lee.

Water alongside a river, anywhere. Look down. See that little stream running by your feet?

Autumn brings out more than just browns and gold in nature.

On my way home yesterday I had to take a photo of this scene. There’s construction work going on there, linking the path to the Regional Park. That sign will be gone by next January when all signage has to be in kilometres instead of miles so it’s a little bit of history too!
Just under the sign, on the wall, is a block of wood with all sorts of medals on it. I guess the workmen found that in their digging. Bet there’s a story behind that!
