Actually this would have been great for my bear pictures. The car between me and the bear and some support for the Bigma!

Oregon. The other Portland is in Maine. I didn't go there when in Portland though.

Having recently visited plenty of State and National parks, plus BLM land and National Forest land in the NW US, I can tell you this is nonsense. I was even given advice on where to take photos by a Park Warden in one park.


Shopping Malls and the like are private property but open to the public - there you can have problems, quite legally. Even in Europe and the UK. Also you may have problems photographing shop window displays - they are often copyrighted by the window dresser.

Looks like a Muscovy duck to me. As opposed to a Muscovy drake - which are seriously ugly beasties.

We selected 1500, from several thousand!

We stayed at Gibbs Farm too, We used it as our chill out base for a couple of days after the safari, as we didn't want to go to Zanzibar. Came home with lots of recipes from the chef there, and a couple of carvings from the wood carver - and lots of coffee of course!
We stayed at Olduvai and Ronjo.

Lovely!
Whereabouts did you go in Tz?

I am hoping to go there again next year. Ours (mostly mine) are at http://tinyurl.com/mtbu4z but there are over 1500 of them as we just couldn't choose . The best ones are on days three through eight.

I add it when I upload the photos into Photoshop Elements. That writes your name and copyright into the exif. No doubt full Photoshop and other such programs also have the same option.

Hi Bill, welcome to the forum.

PeteKD seemed to manage to become a (semi) professional wedding photographer. Not least thanks to the patience and good advice of everyone here. Then he changed brands.

Having tried taking photos for a particular assignment I concluded I didn't enjoy it - the pressure of producing photos that were different and original of a subject I couldn't relate to actually stopped me taking any photos. So no I'll stick to it being a fun thing to do when and where I want to do it, with subjects that interest me. Never sold a photo, or even tried to sell one, and I doubt I ever will, but that doesn't bother me.

I wouldn't miss the switch either - very often mine seems to knocked accidentally, so SR is off when it should be on.

I'm glad you explained what all those off buttons mean Danny!
