Here’s a nice “glowing” effect and described well. Nice simple trick and easily duplicated in the GIMP too!

Wow, a new Samsung phone will have a 5MP camera! I might as well dump my camera now eh?
Mark’s got a photo of the camera itself.

This piece by Thomas Hawk is yet again another story of a photographer being stopped in New York. I wanted to take photo of Grand Central when I was in New York last year but I never made it over there. Looks like I’ll have to get a permit if I decide to go there again!

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?

Via del.icio.us – Best Photos of 2004, I’m gobsmacked and almost speechless (Here’s me being speechless.)

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?
