Can you sell merchandise (a T-shirt or a calendar) with a photo of a celebrity you snapped on a city street or at a public event? The way I read the book (and other materials), - that would be a violations of the existing laws. I'm not sure. You're taking it beyond a photograph, and there may be trademark issues involved. The passage you quoted from the book didn't touch on anything of that nature. It merely seemed to deal with use or a photo for advertising or promotions. That's obviously taboo. But I'm no expert when it comes to drawing a fine line. I just wouldn't do it. Paul My take on this ... T-shirts are not advertising, but you could still be in trouble under other rules that allow celebrities to control merchandising of their image (image as brand name). The calendar is a different matter. What the image is and why it's in the calender makes a difference. If every month has a different celebrity or different images of the same celebrity, that's the same as the T-shirts. OTOH, if you're doing a calender about swing dancing in your community, and Frankie Manning had come to one of the dances, you wouldn't need a release for a photo of him at the local dance. Or a calendar about motor sports. You wouldn't need a release for a photo of Steve McQueen and his Porsche that you took while you were attending a race. Or a calendar about your home town. You've got the doyen of the garden club's prize winning roses to illustrate May. You've got the church's nativity scene to illustrate December. You've got a photo you took of that nice young man who was born in your home town and used to live down the street ... who is now a world famous, multi-millionaire celebrity ... to illustrate whatever month he was born. You don't need a release from him any more than you need a release from the roses or from the nativity scene. If the work succeeds without the celebrity image, you don't need a release to include the celebrity image. Note: As specified above by Igor, the celebrity image is a photograph you took in a public space; one you snapped on a city street or at a public event. - No virus found in this message.

One day late ForSale post
Hi! Missed Friday by one day, as I often do. Three lenses are offered at this time: 1. Pentax SMC FAJ 18-35/4-5.6. Having both DA 21 and FA 20/2.8 I don't seem to have any use for this one. 2. Pentax SMC FA 24-90/3.5-4.5. Bought it from a fellow list member, but Sigma 24-60/2.8 finds way more use than this one. No need to hold on to something that I am unlikely to put to use. 3. Tamron 28-75/2.8. This one I am awaiting a final word from a fellow list member for, but if they pass, it might be yours. Bought it from yet another fellow list member (former, as far as I can tell, sadly). This one is a good sample, again Sigma 24-60/2.8 pushed this one out of active duty mainly because of its wider wide end of the zoom range. If you're interested, please contact me off the list.

In the best case, she'll find out that a $200 used camera fits her needs, in the worst case she'll decide she needs a D700, but would at least skip the intermediate stage of buying an $800 D5000 kit from costco, and finding out it doesn't fit her needs. She may find out that the D5000 would work, but in a couple months the $800 kit should be down to $700. I'd normally recommend Pentax for people on a budget, but since she already has a bunch of Nikon mount glass, she's probably better off not switching.

I have often toyed with letting the D1 go. What is a D1 worth? Based on how fast digital equipment depreciats I'd put the price between $150 and $250 US, if you can find one for sale. At that price it's really not worth selling. It's a bit like owning a old beater of a car. If it runs it's worth more than you can probably sell if for. I looked at KEH. D1 2.65Mp LN- $275 D1x 5.47Mp EX+ $465 to BGN $245 D100 6.1Mp Ex+ $265 to BGN $189 If I'm not mistaken, the D100 uses the same Sony sensor Pentax used for the *ist-D. The attractive thing about KEH is they have well defined condition standards and my experience is they apply those standards very conservatively. I have purchased BGN items from KEH, and in every instance, when I examined the item I did not see the kind of wear that would make the item BGN by their published standards, rather than EX (or even EX+). It looks like Nikon gear doesn't depreciate as much as Pentax gear, but at the same time, KEH has a lot more Nikon gear on offer, which tends to moderate their prices for used Nikon gear. - No virus found in this message.

Its a review of the introduction to the catalogue of the Cartier-Bresson exhibit organized by the Museum of Modern Art that is now in San Francisco and a new book on photography and political violence.

Time will tell us what the role of future photojournalism will be. Prognosticating about it now does little good, to my mind, other than figuring out where there might be investment opportunities, if you're not a photo journalist, or where the job opportunities will, or won't, be, if you are. It took me several attempts to read through it, but I finally figured out it's not really an article about photojournalism. It's a book review by the New Republic's Art Critic, deconstructing a postmodernist work criticizing a lack of moral relevance in today's criticism of photojournalism, comparing that to another work on the history of photography criticism. All of which appear to be driven mainly by a lament for the passing of the genre of great, popular, photography driven, weekly news magazines as represented by Life and Look. Obfuscation piled upon obscurity, although I may have gotten them backwards. It's difficult to see where Linfield's criticism of photojournalism criticism's lack of relevance ends and Perl's criticism of Lindfield's lack of relevance begins. Or how either of them fit into the difficult terrain where the most extreme artistic expressions and the most urgent ethical questions cannot be disentangled. It's another postmodernist repetition of the Worm of Ouroboros (the dragon who devours his own tail). The story ends in the same place where it begins, circling in an ever descending spiral until it vanishes up its own asshole. I just don't understand postmodernism. You can't kill it by hitting it over the head with a big rock. So, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really exist. I do agree that Life and Look were great magazines, and I wish they were still around ... and still hiring. See also: Hoop Snake. - No virus found in this message.

Re: Boris PESO #3 - Object formerly known as palm
I like the tonality, colors and composition, though I'd shave just a bit off the left to put the center of the big chunk of palm closer to on the diagonal. Was the vignetting from the lighting, or done in post processing? If in post, I wonder how the picture would look without it. The palm looks straight in the frame, but the background looks like the camera was tilted a bit, either that, or it's on a slope.

Re: peso chi fog pic
Thanks for everyone's input. I think the comments about the left hand side have validity. I'll take a look at the original frame see if there's room for more fussing. It's been a while since I fussed with this, so a fresh look might work to the picture's advantage. Darrel, my nephew, and I had just left the Art Institute through the exit from the new Modern Wing on to Monroe street. As mentioned the shot is made facing west the street going north/south is Michigan Ave. I'm standing in the middle of the street trying not to get hit by cars, which made me rush the shot. I rendered it in sepia; it was such a dirty gray foggy rainy day and couldn't get a bw rendering I liked. When I tried sepia, I felt it worked best. I think I'll print it out to see how I like the coloring of the browns etc. Big thanks to Bob W for his generous remarks and to John S for his very thoughtful extended commentary. Much appreciated guys.

Re: lighting suggestions?
Most studio-style lights have the option to remove the reflector giving you a barebulb flash (which is what those fong-dongy things are largely immitating). I'm curious why you're not pleased with the lighting in your samples? The reason I ask ... the light is good, but almost too flat for my taste. Not enough directionality to it. And going barebulb would only flatten the light even further. Were I to do it, I'd start by setting my main light opposite the mirror with a large scrim between the light and the subject (letting the mirror provide fill). I'm also curious ... seeing these are dance portraits, and you're in a dance room, what's behind the curtain?

What gear is on your short list?
With the exception of Godfrey, who sounds like he has achieved gear nirvana and sounds like he has all the gear he needs for the photos he takes, I think that most of us often run up against the limitations of what our skill can do with the gear that we have. And if we're honest with ourselves, skill is usually the limiting factor, sometimes it's the gear, and sometimes a certain piece of kit can compensate for our own personal limitations. For example, last night I was pushing the envelope of what I could do with the K-x photographing backlit musicians in an otherwise nearly dark room. I was sorely missing the improved sensor, focus assist light, and focus indicators of the K-r. I expect that most of us have gear wishlists that would make Bill Gates credit cards cringe in terror, we also probably have short lists of gear that we are planning on buying in the near future. Generally gear that fills particular needs, and which would make a noticeable difference in photos that we regularly shoot, or which would allow us to get photos that we simply can't get with the gear we have. What items are on your short list, and why? At the top of my shortlist is the K-5. I often find myself in situations where even 2/3 stop of performance makes a big difference in the photos that I can take. Likewise, there are times when improved autofocus would also help. It would also be a lot more convenient for me to have all the features that I need for different scenarios, in the same camera, rather than being split between two cameras. My K-x could go back to wearing the DA40 and living in my fannypack as my pocket camera, and the K-5 could be my primary camera, and stay in my big bag, rather than aways carrying both in the big bag. I've found that when shooting action, where people are moving around, a zoom lens can make a huge difference. When I'm photographing aikido, I find that I need wider lenses when people are defending themselves against multiple attackers, and the action covers a large portion of the mat, and moves around a lot. But when only two people are practicing, and they aren't moving around a lot, my 50mm isn't quite long enough. I suspect that a 28-105/2.8 would pretty much cover what I need, but since I don't know of one of those the 28-75/2.8 is probably the closest to what I need. Alternatively, if I were shooting with two cameras, I could get the 50-135 on one body, and the 16-50 on another. I think that the 50-135 would do also do well with the band photography I've been doing, considering how often I'm using my 77 or 135 for closeups. The runner ups for my short list are: DA35 macro : I love my DA40 for its size and sharpness, but when I carry it as a walk around lens, especially on hikes in the woods, I often find myself wishing it were a bit wider, and focused a bit closer. Samyang 85/1.4 : I'm still hurting over the A* 85/1.4 that the guys wife sold at work while I was waiting for him to get home from running his errands. I keep needing that little bit extra shutter speed. I'd love a modern f/1.4 lens in the 75-90mm range, but I doubt that I'd be able to afford it before sensors got so fast that I no longer needed that speed. Sigma 30/1.4 : My FA31/1.8 may be a better lens, but again, I often find myself wishing I had that extra 2/3 of a stop of speed, so that I could bump my shutter speed up from 1/10 to 1/15 second. Something wider than 16mm. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: What gear is on your short list?
Larry, I swear you find the darkest places to shoot in. The only time I remember ever ~having~ to shoot at 1/15th of a second was at a house fire out in the country where the only light source was the house which was on fire (http://www.flickr.com/photos/phojonick/380184040/). ;;-D But for me, the only thing on my wish list right now would be a 28mm shift lens.

Re: What gear is on your short list?
With the exception of Godfrey, who sounds like he has achieved gear nirvana I guess Siddhartha Godfrey is the photobuddha. ;-) I'm probably looking at the new DA35-135. I think this is a great walking around range for me. I'm experimenting with the F35-135 to see if I like it. I would probably love the 60-250 but it's so expensive. I'm happy with the K7 so the K5 will probably pass me by. On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 7:45 PM, Nick David Wright pedalsandpr...@gmail.com wrote: Larry, I swear you find the darkest places to shoot in.

Re: lighting suggestions?
I shot this in a fitness center. Relatively small room. There was a row of mirrors behind me. I shot with the flash on camera, pointing backwards over my shoulder and up at about a 45 degree angle, so that it centered approximately on the pint where the ceiling and mirrors met. I believe I had a diffuser on the flash, probably a softbox. I checked to make sure I wasn't creating a hot spot in the mirrors on the other side of the room before firing away. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5869395size=lg On Jan 22, 2011, at 6:49 PM, Larry Colen wrote: In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be doing dance portraits again at a local milonga.

Re: What gear is on your short list?
I have all the cameras and lenses I need for my work. I do need to send one of my flashes in for repair. I'd like an 8-foot softbox for my studio, but I don't really need it at the moment. Of course, I'd like an FA 600/4 and gimbal head for my occasional bird shoots, but that would be just a big expensive toy, so it isn't going to happen. Generally I'm covered quite well with the DA* zooms, a half dozen primes and my K-5 and K-7.

Re: What gear is on your short list?
It's a special lens which allows you to move the lens elements in relation to the film plane. Gives you a small amount of control over the perspective of your photos (like the kind of control you get with a large format camera). For example, you can shoot a tall building without the somewhat annoying keystoning effect.
