Owning a building which happens to feature in a photograph does not give a person any right to order the photograph destroyed or to prevent its publication. Even if the photographer is trespassing, the landowner's only remedy is to eject them (and seek legal redress for the trespass). The only person with any rights over a photograph is the photographer, unless he/she has agreed to transfer the rights to someone else.were you on his property?

Publication is sticky though.... without a release, most publishers won't touch it, unless it is news or journalism...
also true that a group of landowners in Sanfrancisco tried (unsuccessfully i believe)to trade mark thier houses as an Iconic viewpoint favoured by Photographers back in the eighties in order to bill photographers for the privilege of photographing on thier street...
don't know whatever came of that... have not heard about it since...

check you 2 stop nd to see if it is polarized.... a cheap polarizer could easily be sold as a 2x nd....
4x possible but not likely....

That is dreadful, but I think we need a whole lot more information to begin to understand why.
Cheap ND filters do have a colour cast and certainly on film very long exposures will cause colour shifts. So, how was it shot, in full detail?
I have seen cheap polarizers do that... especially when stacked...That is dreadful, but I think we need a whole lot more information to begin to understand why.

for the Video Camera. Guess I am in serious need to sort out my 'luggage' requirements very soon as I have more lenses to come as well and I like to keep things together unless I know exactly what I use at the time.
Thanks for that.
Many thanks as I was a bit stuck. I still keep an eye open for a slit screen but its at least not that urgent. I tend to get on better with 'manual lenses with 'A' aperture setting then the new style screen, but being able to use a monitor in certain circumstances is a definite bonus.
what monitor you using? Sony stuff is usually expensive, I'm hoping to save some money...johnriley wrote:
There is a video output from the camera that can directly feed a monitor. It shows whatever is shown on the camera monitor.
But first, have you set the dioptre adjustment accurately? Aim the camera at a blank wall (the lens should not be focused on a subject)and adjust the dioptre setting until the etched lines on the focusing screen are at their sharpest.
Thanks for that John. I do need reading glasses but afar I am fine. I did not know that with the lines and will give is a go in the morning. Still the monitor bit for macro will probably my way (I got a 7" TFT in a custom waterproof PortaBrace cover There is a video output from the camera that can directly feed a monitor.

Thank Don, but if you see my signature I got a 7" TFT for the Sony PD 150 with Tripod Clamp and Waterproof PortaBrace Case so I can use that one. I know it has HDMI and HDMI Mini as well as RGB connectors so I guess I will be able to use that one.in another thread I posted a link for a new sony monitor designed for d-slrs, it has a hot shotshoe mount as well as hdmi input so it will work with other cameras besides sony......
