Gallen Kallela 30D F/1.8 Apertures were 1.8 for body shots and 2.8 for mugshots ISO 640 to 800 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. I don't suppose anyone has any kids in the Helsinki area that I could shoot for portfolio work?
Vs: Kalevala Technically very fine shots. Very little to do with Kalevala, though... There is one thing which I just don`t understand - why spoil the fine photos with Ajaton Joki -text?
Vs: Kalevala Well, I don`t need to... but seriously. That text won`t prevent anybody from stealing the photos.
Vs: Kalevala beautiful pictures. and i, who usually don't like photos with children, like them if i was a bit younger and lived in hki area.. ;D
Vs: Kalevala I'm honestly not worried about theft here. But these are posted on flickr and so that's why the watermark is there. It would be silly to redo the pictures without a watermark for just posting here. And no, the watermark will not completely prevent theft. But it does discourage it. Do you lock your house at night? Your car? If so, it won't prevent someone stealing your car or robbing your house. But it does discourage most people
Vs: Kalevala No, the photographs posted on Kameralaukku are posted on Kameralaukku. Flickr could not care less about Kameralaukku and Kameralaukku wouldn't care less about Flickr. It wouldn't be silly, just polite. If you dont't respect this forum that much, why post at all? If the photographs require any relevant "redoing", there is something wrong with our processes. The originals most probably don't have the texts. You seem to think like a clerk in a store: "This was okay for the previous customer. What do you mean it is not okay for you? Do you really think I should consider each customer's needs?" That would obviously be a recipe for a disaster. And that thinking pattern will possibly be just that for you.
Vs: Kalevala There's no looming disaster. Just an annoyance. And people here trying hard to be semi-friendly try to encourage you (without saying exactly these words) to have a process where the watermarking is added as a last step to the images going to Flickr, no watermarking (and perhaps less saturation) to the images going to Kameralaukku, just like you would have different process for final sharpening done for specific output media and resolution. Perhaps you could do just very subtle watermarking that's easy to demonstrate (by boosting contrast and dropping color) and hard to remove, by utilizing whole image area, chrome and color and noise. Additional "Copyright protected on whole image area, not just down here" strip running faintly at the bottom of image would disturb little less and be maybe even more effective deterrent.
