This is from an old article at Luminous Landscape. It's taken with a Pentax 67ii (medium format film camera) with 300 mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter on a (light weight) tripod at 1/10th sec with...

It's a concept that pre-dates digital. If Toshiyuki Terada is unfamiliar with it, that is embarrassing. This is from an old article at...

@Lin: Copyrights expire after a certain time.

Great! Can I take some photographs of your photographs and sell them? I would be, after all, the Photographer, in your definition.

@dblues - if you're the one buying the photo for commercial purposes, it's your responsibility to find that out. Not the photographer's.

All you need to do, then, is convince your government(s) to write that language into each and every commission, or convince them to pass a law to that effect. As things stand, though, creators...

@John Koch: The copyright will eventually expire and it will become fully public. In the meantime, the creator has a right to be compensated for his (considerable) effort. If you're a photographer,...

You ask: "So what happens when somebody has a travel blog, visited DC, and posted a his picture of any of the monuments? Can they be sued by the artists?" The answer: The copyright has expired on...

I believe the copyright on the flag is long expired. The copyright on this sculpture will eventually expire too, and then you can steal the image as much as you want. Until then, though, you have...

According to the article, the USPS made hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit on these stamps sold to collectors - i.e., stamps that will never to be used to mail anything. I think it's naïve...

You have to pay the copyright holder, of course.

My take: If your subject is in shadow at those times of day, it's not going to help. You need your subject to have the rising/setting sun shining on it at an angle. One hour after sunrise; one hour...

The original Four Thirds PL 25/1.4 has an aperture ring and has a stellar reputation. http://www.four-thirds.org/en/fourthirds/single.html#i_025mm_f014_Panasonic All 3 of the lenses designed for...

Mine exhibits the shutter shock problem on my GH2, but it works very well on my E-PL1 as a "pocket camera". Tennessee Warbler  Sterling--Lens Grit

For serious video work you want the GH series. That's its main niche. Sterling--Lens Grit

A lot of legacy lenses are quite susceptible to lens flare and should be used with a hood. The flare might not be obvious to the eye, but can result in haloing and reduced contrast. There is...

I can't believe we haven't commented on this so far in this thread! M = Mega, as in MB = MegaBytes and Mb = MegaBits. So MFT must mean Mega Four Thirds! But "MEGA" meaning "great" can't be taken...

Oh yes, I missed the minus sign, sorry. Just a typo, out by a "mere" 12 orders of magnitude. I didn't have any grad students to check my typing. I'm sure the referees would have caught it, that's...

I love your use of Greek, but your point is based on the premise that we're discussing a unit of measure. I don't think that's accurate. I think we're discussing a way of abbreviating the word...

That gives me an idea for a book! I call dibs on the copyright! :)
