Sean Elliot was wrong.
He'd probably use a sharper lens if he had one, or a sharper demosaicing algorithm.

(sorry, I didn't read most of the posts)

In reply to:

GaryJP: Interesting case.

To me the idea of making the rest of the image monochrome but the London bus red is kind of obvious, even banal. So is the use of a well known landmark.

But I guess the clincher might be the fact that he was familiar with the original image.

The judge may have considered the "copy" just as uninspired as the "original", therefore infringing on its lameness.

odoketa: That was a whole lot of iOS love! I'm glad there's one Android app!

You're not mastering art with a professional camera, you may master craft, but even that is not a given.

On Photographer LaChapelle can sue Rihanna over 'copycat' video news story (114 comments in total)

I have a hint that this case won't go to the Supreme Court,
but wish it did,
to publicly define a wildly unknown legal issue
(one way or another)

most photographers, because of their political agendas didn't understand a much simpler case

This court case is almost as important in educating people who can and want to read about what art is, as the Brancusi case of almost a hundred years ago.

On Content commenting system launched news story (129 comments in total)

Photographers are a fun bunch who become ridiculous when commenting on politics.
There are a few celebrities here, like Dr. Eric Fossum and some camera designers who know their craft well and share knowledge very generously.
The DPR test lab is fantastic and while the news may seem slow to some, they are respectful of NDAs and manufactures' dissemination rules.
