Free use of a photograph
I have just been asked for the free use of one of my pictures for advertising, and I am not sure whether to go ahead or not. On the plus side, there's some free publicity involved, and the picture is not one I ever expected to sell anyway. On the negative side, a large corporation are getting to use...

Free use of a photograph
You say there's free publicity, but it sounds like you've been down that road a few times before. If it was a first of it's kind opportunity for you, then I'd say yes. As it stands, I'd be tempted to push back a little, as you say "when will it stop".

Professional for a seller means behaving in a manner that inspires the confidence of the buyer and encourages the development of mutual trust. It is a matter of behaviour, being helpful, pleasant, but not too familiar and thus invading the buyer's personal space. It is a matter of doing what we prom...

Free use of a photograph
I have still not heard back after sending them a quote of 500 dollars for unlimited use of my photograph, which does not really surprise me. I did write them a polite email saying I was not prepared to let them use my image without payment and pointing out that what I was quoting was below industry...

Free use of a photograph
I was thinking that I would have asked £50 as the publicity or at least the ability to say that your image has been used on the site is something that can be added to your credibility as a photographer. $75 sounds right to me. Thanks John. I have written back saying I will accept $75 as long as I...

Free use of a photograph
I have written back saying I will accept $75 as long as I retain all copyright and they give me credit and show a link to my website as per the original offer. You have to be a bit careful with the legal meanings here; you would always retain copyright unless you sign this over explicitly, but the k...

Free use of a photograph
I just heard back from them and they have agreed to give me $75 for non-exclusive rights to the image for web use, subject to the image being chosen in the final selection for the photo gallery, which seems a bit odd since they are obviously keen enough on the image to offer me $75 for it. I will ha...

helicopters
I take a helicopter or small plane on scheduled flights, once in a while and always take a camera (or two!). On digital I have a normal zoom 17-50mm Tamron and put it in Av. Be prepared to switch to manual focus (avoiding focus on the window scratches) and adjust the exposure comp as you change ...

helicopters
I use to specialise in news pix from helicopters. Some have opening sections in the windows. If not, many have a facility to remove the door. It's not remotely dangerous because you are strapped in. I covered a grand prix from a helicopter once. We flew from Battersea, put down in a field a mile ...

k5 "this image cannot be displayed"
Did you notice this problem when you took the shot? What kind of card were you using? I had the same problem with my K20D using a PNY 8GB card. The image would appear on the screen, then once the orange write light went out, the message "this image cannot be displayed". This would happen a...

I've never been bitten by one. Try and find a low profile one (~£5+) to ensure infinity focus.

Have a look at the mount on your lens before you buy anything else Many 3rd party older lenses use a T2 mount which can be swapped, so you can replace the M42 with a K mount rather than adding an adapter. A new T2 mount isn't expensive and it'll be much easier to use. Judging by photos I've found...

Thanks Steep, although it says at the bottom that it isn't capable of infinity focus. I will definitely shop around.

Is this a preset lens or does it have an auto/manual switch (with the little silver pin visible on the bottom rim of the lens mount closing the aperture down when pressed)? T2 mounts are an interchangeable lens mount. The lens is standard but the shop will bundle a different mount according to wh...

New backpack suggestions needed
Back to having 2 bodies as the K5 arrived yesterday, so the K-r now becomes the back-up. I want to spend less time swapping lenses than I have in the last few months - not least of which because I have had serious dust problems with the K-r and one replacement focus screen is enough to teach me a le...
