It also doesn't mean that because a place allows you to photograph there - such as a museum - that either the building itself or its contents are in the public domain or that the images may used commercially.

ooooh, so beautiful pics, thanks JJ -:)

Hi Guys,


I was just wondering about iStock's plans for marketing iStock_Audio. I subscribe to a few creative magazines and the photo side is always being advertised and promoted (free stock photos etc) and it got me thinking . . . is iStock planning something for us audio contributors? :) Can you give us the heads up?


Cheers

Nice video here made intercutting between Red One, GH1 and 5D2. Looks like what counts is the shooter and the lenses.

No it wasn't. I still get the same error and "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Nothing spectecular:

Yeah, it seems to take up to 3-5 days at the moment even for exclusive images. Might be a side-effect of the iStockalypse in Istanbul right now and I hope it will improve again later next week...


And I know the "I've seen too much" feeling right now. I soooo feel in the mood to shot some more this week. But I said to myself that I will not set up any new shoots until I have at least the mass of images processed that I shot during the last three months.


I think I'm getting close to it with my Florida images (68 approved, 9 more in the queue, I think I will get maybe 15-20 more out of it). I hope I'll finish those next week. And then I have to move on to the pics I shot in Canada in August and two shoots I had here in June and September. :-)

with these bugs running around I just suspected lots of people were sick :(

Last year some of my clients had contests for "tackiest Christmas sweater" at their parties. I just searched iStock for "ugly Christmas sweater" and "tacky Christmas sweater" and didn't get very many results so that might be an idea for photography or illustration.

good work guy

Awesome EC!

Hey fritz where are ya ? :)

Hey Mike, I have a load that might fit, also I should be going out to a suppliers organic farm in the next week or two if you wanted something specific.

I love the fact that in the normal file listings (search results, browse recent etc) we can hover over files to see a good sized loupe thumbnail.

For me it'd be brilliant if the loupe was available everywhere that files are shown. For example, CN recent files, in our uploads listings, on thumbnails of related files that we link to on the file view page, on the newest uploads bit of the Vetta page etc...

I suppose there could be issues for users with limited bandwidth, but there's already the control panel option to exclude loupe view if needed.

If I remember right, the loupe was available from the small thumbs for the Punctum shortlist files, and it was great to be able to browse through them without loading up each page individually.

Ja, bin mal gespannt ob ich genommen werde und wie's dann läuft. Und dann gibts ja auch noch Logos...


Aber der ganze 3d-Kram in Illustrator ist schon nicht so einfach. Die Lernkurve ist aber steil, so langsam verstehe ich was ich da klicken muss.

Thank you very much for your help and your elaborate answer. Your explanation is very helpful indeed and very much appreciated.


There is no doubt parts of the image are underexposed and some fill light would have saved the shot. My post-production didn't fix the problem and the rejection was right of course.


What puzzles me is that I don't see the posterization in Lightroom and in Capture NX2 but I do in PS CS4.


This is my equivalent to your Lightroom screenshot.


When I display the image on 100 percent this is what I see in the Lightroom Develop module, this is what Capture NX2 is showing and this is what PS CS4 is displaying. Only PS CS4 is clearly showing the posterization.


All screenshots have been taken on the same freshly calibrated Quato screen displaying the exact same RAW file. I calibrated the screen using a ColorMunki and I understand the ColorMunki software is delivering the monitor profile to all programs alike.


So why are different programs displaying the same image differently?

All interesting stuff but I think people have drifted from the origonal post by Jung Kang. Lots of things introduce noise/effect noise levels but his question is very specific he wants to know how "shutter speed" is effecting noise level. :)


Please share how shutter speed is effecting noise lavel.

Is it just me?
Some of the vectors finding their way onto iStock are just plain nasty!! :P Intense. How do they slip though you think?

Anyone have a good script font for logos? Im searching for a feminine typeface that is legible, and commercially free, link me up if you find one, thanks.

It al depends on how much you want to spend. For example Calumet have the following:

As long as you stay with UHF you should be Ok - but avoid VHF - there are too many things that interfere with it.


Another thing to consider is a good shotgun microphone that you can point at the speaker but is wired directly to your camera.

try using one only flash

Photomatix isn't free.
