Oooh, this thread on dpreview caused a bit of a stir! Someone linked to this thread on theknot.com about copying the photos taken by professional wedding photographers. For some reason the original message is gone but the replies remain.
In this digital world it’s getting harder and harder to prevent copyright theft, and even though the bride and groom paid for the photos, the copyright for those photos remains with the photographer.
Woofy had a good idea – offer images on CD, perhaps only low-res ones with prints later. Darrell refined the idea by suggesting he provide one or two high quality prints as well.
At the end of theknot.com thread several photographers joined in, no doubt from dpreview, their comments are worth reading, if only to remind oneself that for these people, photography is a business.
These linked generated a great conversation on #linux, which did *not* descend into puns or jokes, although that could be because Kevin wasn’t around..

Nice! This tutorial describes how to convert a “normally shot” photograph into an infra-red photo. It uses Photoshop, but the techniques described can be done in the GIMP too! Here’s a few more bits too.
While we’re on the subject, here are the top 10 signs you spend too much time at STF! hehe.

Why buy paper magazines when there’s so much good stuff being published online? That’s what I want to know! Here in Ireland we have to pay tax on magazines that adds an exorbitant cost to magazines from the UK.
Mark noticed that Vivid Light Photography #38 is out now, and Photo Focus is for me, like Mark, a mag I’d never come across before!

Here’s a plugin for the GIMP that you can use to erase the background.. a Windows .exe is included, and source but not a Makefile. My interest doesn’t extend to writing one unfortunately!

Gimp plugin for “intelligent Erasor”
replace the selection with an interpollated background. If the border along the selection is relatively continuous, i.e. a pretty boring background, then this tool works as an erasor.

What Display Should I Buy? and Adding A Diffuse Glow To Your Images caught my eye before I head to bed.. zzzz. Damn, shouldn’t have had those cups of coffee this evening!

The Cork Ladies mini marathon is on tomorrow, starting at 2pm! I’m going in to take a few photos of the crowd and competitors! Hope we get the weather we had today!

In this latest tutorial from Digital Outback, the lack of decent histograms is shown by the author as a stumbling block towards properly exposed photos! *Phew* I didn’t mean for that sentence to be so convoluted!
Anyway, Thanks to Mark for pointing that out.

aaawww! Aren’t these kitten photos cute?

Lots of links here. Some good explanations too from a quick look!
