I currently have about 90 images licensed to Getty Images, which brings me a relatively modest but steady trickle of cash. Under the terms of the agreement I have with them, I can't license these images elsewhere. I was wondering, however, if I can license similar images, taken at the same time, processed in a similar way. ie, I take a series of images, I license one to Getty and then sell the similar images elsewhere. I've been through the terms of my agreement and can't find anything specifically prohibiting this. However, bearing in mind the debacle over the colour-popped London bus on a biscuit tin, where a company lost a case based on the similarity of an image (by a different photographer) they were using to a copyrighted image, I'm wondering if I have missed something?

The reason I am asking is I've been asked to supply some images for a website here in Qatar. Some of the ones they are interested in are already licensed elsewhere, but I have similar images, some of which were taken at the same time as the licensed images.

Any ideas?

I don't need video, I don't care about wifi, I just want a really good camera that can also give me high ISO performance....

Hi Chris, I sent an email to SRS a few days ago re a tax rebate, and received a reply that it can be done in store. I am non-resident in the UK, living in Qatar, but will be in the UK next week, and may be buying a camera. I will not be able to get to the shop, though, and was wondering if the tax rebate form can be done with postal deliveries?

I've found a really cool method for fixing noisy fans on laptops. The fan on mine was making very loud screeching noises when the processor was working hard, ie while editing images. I took the fan out and carried it around in my suitcase for a few weeks while I tried to find a new one. I couldn't find one, so put the old one back, and it works perfectly now.

What a bizarre thread...I thought the OP was asking about using a particular lens for portraits....

Here's a link to an article about it. link

I got bored before finishing it......the general gist seems to be that an intermediate setting gives the same amount of noise as the next full stop, ie ISO 160 has the same noise as ISO 200.

Nicely done! His heads a bit close to the top of the frame perhaps?
