Photography

I got it and eyed it through quickly, my opinion, good value and thumbs up. Specially for beginners.

It also remind me of an old story. This was before the Nigerian scams.

A guy advertised, "Want to make money quickly, send me five dollars and I will send you my short guide".

Those who did got a very short guide, it simply said "Do as I do".

Fifteen years ago, you put up a website, and people could flock to it, today you have to go out and sell it. That is what these guides do, sell the service of Photoshelter, by providing something free that has real value to the receiver and potential customer.

Photographers could learn, bundle their services with something related, as giving free lectures, free training, free guides, etc. It is a new form of commercials, commercials that has a real value for the receiver.

A minor irritation, to learn from if you plan to send out such guides or information in PDF form. You start to read the left column at the top, then you have to scroll down to read the end, then to scroll back up to get to the top of the next column, etc Design the content so one page fits one full computer screen.

The booklet does not address the issues internationally, it is focused only on the US. For instance, in China we don't use model releases. It is considered that if a model place herself/himself in front of a camera, they have agreed to be photographed. On that note, in the west models are often viewed as disposables with a use by date. Here, if a photographer find a good model, it is like finding a gold nugget that makes money. The same goes for the model. You really take care of the relationship.

Just my 2 cents

We have a new photo album!

Think "2007" or "where the new photos are"!

If you can see them, Congratulations!
go the the "2007" album, follow the description and get
the best of the best Glamor photos!

If you can't see photos or albums, like some people.
sorry, your out of luck.

As for Totally Bouncy Gallery, don't fear loyal members,
TBG is still going to be here and some (not all) of the
photos will still be here too.

WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

I'm just trying to get the people who can see the photos,
even more a chance to get the best of Glamor and Fashion.

I wanted to take Glamor to a new level in CLASS!!

But members abused that, tried to upload pics that were
not of Glamor, ect, and only sent spam in messages.

This group is now 17,000+ members strong... and yet, how
many Totally true members are there?

Well, now management is going to find out.

If you can see the album, if you can see the photos, and
if you put a little time and effort into it... you can
still see the Best and classicist Photos on Yahoo!

If you can't ( AND NO! WE STILL DO NOT E-MAIL PICS! ) then
you can still be here.

So, now your in the know!

Happy Happy November the BEST month of all twelve . . . . . well . . . . except for the other eleven.

Just a
reminder to everyone that Christmas is only 980 hours away which if you lived on Mars is TOMORROW!!!!  As luck would have it you live on Earth so there is still time to order something very special for your favorite wall.

The big
news is that I now have a daily blog where I post a new photo every day, some 3 star and some 5 start, you never know but you will be the 1st to see the 5 star images - I suggest you put this page as your default on
your browser and then every day you can start your day with a new surprise photo!  How awesome is THAT!!! 

http://www.melottephotoimagery.blogspot.com/

But the really really big news is that I purchased a wide angle lens.  I can not wait to pop this baby onto my camera and go out shooting (except at the State Capitol where cameras are not allowed but guns are .
. . .sigh). 

Today's attached photos are from Madison. I had a project a few weeks ago and my goal was to get all of those Madison shots I have always wanted.  Didn't really happen that way  and I had the timing off on sunset and ended up in a bar waiting . . . .  but I did captured some excellent shots! 

First one is from Paul's Club (bar mentioned above).  Number 2 is from Olbrich Gardens and  Number 3 is of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art.

OK OK - one more, the last one is the big thingy in front of Camp Randall in blinding sunlight (there was an ill-positioned police car in the way).

 So there you have it.  Stay tuned as I explore my little impressionistic world trying to stir memories with a wide angle lens which . . .if you think about it, your eyes and brain work in wide angle.

Cheers
Rod

There are a number of contracts photographer may need, it depends on the country, and local laws, and so on. Local assignments, overseas assignments, war zone assignments, nude, etc.

Model releases are used in some parts of the world, but not in others. It is considered that if a model place her/himself in front of the camera, they have agreed to that the photos be used. USA is a very special case where people to some degree "own" their image. Apparently the requirements also vary with what state in the USA you work. 

Here are some links.
