The usual busy week on the PI List, not very technical this week, we talked a lot about photographs, photographers and professionalism.
Canon 50mm 1.4: There was the technical thread, a member had this lens on test and was unhappy with the performance, what alternatives are there? other members advised and pointed out the rumours of a new version.
Help identifying a registrant: Having found an unauthorised web use of a library image the PI member then had the problem of finding out who owned the site and where it was. The technical skill of other PI members found the server it was hosted on whilst also managing to discount a false lead to the Far East.
Request for Privacy from Highland Estate: Should you stop selling a postcard showing a country house when asked to do so by the owner? To clarify, the picture was taken from a public road and many other views of the house are to be found all over the net. A variety of opinions from members varied from how rude you could be to wondering if the owner of the country pile wanted to sell his own postcards.
Time for Regulation: Following from an article in the industry press we discussed the advisability and the practicality of the registration of Professional Photographers.
Retouching in India: A member talked about the inexpensive scan cleaning he's having done in India, members discussed the possible problems and ethics in using such a low cost service. compiled by David Williams - www.dwphoto.co.uk |
