You can't find the details directly on the internet (without going through
the process of *almost* signing up for an account), but I came across one
when I was about to press the button on accept terms and conditions; to
which there was a link and a huge document which I can't believe people read
in any depth, if at all. I then decided to ask the question here before
going any further.

Since your question above I've had another look at what various sites do,
this for example is of interest:

http://www.embeddedmetadata.org/social-media-test-results.php

Now I accept with a free service for a provider to either add advertising,
or limit the amount of capacity your website has - or both - but the
impression I am given is that buried in the terms and conditions are often
conditions which most of us would find wholly unacceptable. Maybe some
people don't care what they do with their content if they don't get a
monthly or annual fee and accept it as a trade off? I'm not claiming that
any of them do what they have signed over to them (possible future planning
so they don't have to come back and ask?), but it appears that many rights
can be signed away by the click of a button. I think it would be really
interesting to compare really accurately exactly what hold and for how long
each provider has over the material uploaded to each site, and what each
organisation wants, certainly by someone who understands the legal jargon
well enough to seek out and translate into everyday language what we really
want to know.

In the meantime, I'm happy to put my hand in my own pocket, so they don't
have to look for income elsewhere.

Re: PESO Surfer Girl

[Paul Stenquist]

Not overexposed, just the look I worked for in Photoshop. Had to work against 
the strong backlight. A 300mm lens on the 6x7 is just beyond 135 equivalency. 
Can't do much spying with that.

(when you look very carefully at their terms and conditions), that they can
use whatever you load without asking for pretty much any purpose they want,

Now I don't imply for a moment that my particular images would taken and

such a set of conditions.

Are there any sites out there that don't impose such conditions? I'm not
fussed if they want to add advertising, annoying though that is, and I'm
happy to pay a small annual fee if it removes such conditions being imposed.

Snapchat also uses your photos perpetually (Re: Contracts for pro band photographers.)

[Igor PDML-StR]

I am not using it, but here is what Snapchat included with the new terms 
of service:

http://thenextweb.com/apps/2015/10/30/snapchats-new-terms-let-it-store-and-reuse-your-photos-but-they-arent-scary/

You grant Snapchat a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, 
and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, 
adapt, edit, publish, create derivative works from, publicly perform, 
broadcast, distribute, syndicate, promote, exhibit, and publicly display 
that content in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods 
(now known or later developed).



Given the fact that Snapchat (at least initially) was aimed at "private" 
messaging (or was it messaging privates?), that type of TOS is even more 
disturbing (compared, say, to photohosting services).

PESO: Old on Old on New

[Darren Addy]

Inspired by a recent Petapixel post this was project was completed
over my lunchtime today. Images and/or video to follow (eventually).

https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/22742155842/

The lens is a 105mm f/4.5 Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar (mounted in a Compur
0s shutter) that was borrowed from a circa 1930 Maximar 207/3 (which
is a mini 6x9 view camera). It's mounted to a drilled out m42 body
cap. That was screwed into an Asahi Pentax Bellows II, to which my
K-3II was mounted with a screwmount to K adapter. The Compur shutter
is set to T (left open) and the DSLR controls the exposure.

Believe it or not, this combo achieves infinity focus, something I
could NOT get with my earlier attempt at this idea:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/2754888119/

I used a plastic body cap for this proof-of-concept, but I think I
will see if I can find a metal m42 body cap to do it For Realsies.

#@!#!^$%@ Computers!!!

[John]

I *HATE* any kind of device or program that "thinks" it knows more about 
what I want to do than I do.


Last Friday I had a tree removal company in to remove two trees that 
were threatening to tear up my roof again. The guy running the show told 
me I would need to contact the power company and have them drop the 
service Friday morning & restore it after they had finished.


It occurred to me that might not be too good for computers & other 
electronic stuff, so I carefully shut everything down on Friday morning 
and then went and shut off all of the breakers at the panel.


The tree removal was uneventful, and I had the power company back out 
here by 5:00pm to hook the service back up. Turned on the breakers one 
at a time & everything seemed to come back normally.


EXCEPT the computer I use for Photoshop. Probably should have pulled the 
mains cable as well as turning it off.


I've been bringing network resources up as I need them and finally got 
around to the printer next to the Photoshop computer just now, I found 
that the computer was already switched on. Hadn't noticed it because the 
monitor was still turned off.


Since I didn't switch it on, what did?

When I switched the monitor on it's in the middle of some screen telling 
me my computer was unable to start & it's repairing itself. How long 
it's been repairing itself, I have no idea.


The repair can't be canceled either. There's a button to cancel, but 
when you click it, it just pops up a message saying "The repair can't be 
canceled".


I expect that it's never going to finish, and I'll eventually have to do 
a complete new install of Windoze7.

Re: had not noticed

[David Mann]

That's interesting, I clicked on the link and was redirected to a spam page.  
Loaded up Firefox and had a look there, it worked fine... Loaded it again in 
Safari and it worked there as well.

I suspect there's a dodgy script that's redirecting a certain percentage of 
users.  I've seen this before, makes it more confusing for site owners to debug.

Either way Ricoh need to take a good look at the site...

Re: #@!#!^$%@ Computers!!!

[Otis C. Wright, Jr.]

After some years of investigating damage attributed to power anomalies 
during power restoration, it is my opinion that here in the USA, it is a 
good idea to leave the power to the computer (and other electric units)  
disconnected/off until power is restored and stabilized.  I use drop out 
relays and/or ups systems with computers.

I've used this feature for many years with the computer, monitor and

I fully agree with you.

I know several cases when my colleagues have lost their computers and 
other electronic equipments when the power was coming back up.
That's why I've always been trying, both at home and at work, to unplug 
all somewhat valuable electric equipment from the outlets when the power 
goes down.


Surge protectors are somewhat helpful as well.

Too bad you couldn't get a faster synchronized shutter unit, for fast 
flash sync.  105mm is a little long for a portrait lens on APS-C but 
you'd be the envy of all those medium format users who want leaf 
shutters fpr high sync speeds.

Yep - got it, thanks Frank.

The confirmation to gmail accounts often goes to the spam folder
(although that wasn't the case for PJ who also didn't get the
confirmation).  Could you check your spam folder and let me know if it's
there?

Re: #@!#!^$%@ Computers!!!

[Igor PDML-StR]

Many (most?) desktops since probably late 1990s/early 2000s have an option 
in the BIOS that enables starting upon power loss/detecting power.


I've used this feature for many years with the computer, monitor and other 
related devices all connected to one surge protector. With a flip of a 
single switch you turn on all of them and have the computer booting up.


HTH,

Igor

Unlike the 'Foo Fighters' contract, at least it seems to be limited to just
this planet.

Shocking really, but with that catch all at the start they never have to
come back to you to ask permission to use your stuff in any way, as by
signing up and accepting their terms and conditions, they have it. Just
shows how much you have to examine the fine detail if you are using a
service, or providing a photographic service to a third party to see what
rights they expect to strip off you.

Re: PESO Surfer Girl

[Jack Davis]

I completely get it, Paul. As you might have guessed, I downloaded
the image and pittled with it a bit in PSE10. 
My tastes are doubtless "unique".

I'll delete my effort forthwith.

It’s a compromise of course. The shot is fully backlit with low winter sun. As 
shot, the girl is in deep shadow. If I had exposed it to bring her up to a more 
normal level, the background and surfboard would have been completely burned 
out. So I shot it at a compromise exposure, and after scanning, adjusted the 
levels to better the overall effect, then dodged her skin tones and burned in 
the sand, surfboard and the bright parts of her body. To achieve something 
better, fill flash and/or a reflector would have been required, although I 
suspect some highly skilled photoshop practitioners could do a better job than 
I have done, but I’m satisfied with this result. HDR would give it more 
balance, but i think the result would look artificial.

Like much about this image. I've kept returning to it to recheck my reaction.
The overall light may suit your "summer heat" intent, but, for me the glare 
of the sand background, surf board and surfer's thighs tend to detract from the 
delicate 
tones on the surfer.
