Obviously if I had taken more time I would have tried to get the focus on the castle in the background rather than the heather in the foreground, but I had to also make sure Sarah was not doing any plunging to her death off of the cliff edge. Can sort of take distract you that sort of thing....

The flowers below are false and have lasted for eight or more years now....the painting over the fireplace isn't one of mine...LOL...a water colour that I bought in an exhibition because the detail in it is astonishing...sorry can't get a clear pic of it because under glass and always get a reflection...the artist painstakingly painted every blade of long grass!!

As mentioned in an earlier post I finally managed to grab some time to do my 2008 bluebell shoot. I had walked the dogs earlier in the day and had a few ideas for the best locations. As I approached the location with my camera still in the bag two young deer sprung up from the blue woodland floor before deciding to leg it.

Sadly this is the view minus the deer.

Bad Choices

by antlady69 @ Friday, May. 16, 2008 - 15:24:26

Sometimes I take photos and just don't see how I could have made them look better, until I view them on my computer. Too late then!

In the photo below, I wish I had focused on the pistil and stamen on the left, and not on the blossoms up front:

Stempel

And for this next photo I should have aimed a little lower to capture more of the yellow blossoms, and then call it "a sea of yellow" or somesuch:

Symphony in yellow

These are just two of many bad choices I made - and I'm only talking photography here ;D

Do you have similar problems? Or are you that experienced that all your photos come out the way you want them?

This seat is about all thats left at the end of pier at Southend, the longest pleasure pier in the world and all there is to show for it is a few seats, there might be pretty but in the end its just a seat.

Of course there is the Coastguard and Life Boat Station there as well, but they are not really tourist attractions.

This shot was created with a slow speed , handheld and a vertical pan.

Model Release Forms

by Usksider @ Monday, May. 05, 2008 - 06:47:03

I joked with Batsman yesterday over the issue of model release forms and thought it may be useful to post something serious on that topic here.

What is a Model Release?

A model release is a legally binding agreement between the model and the photographer that assigns certain rights to both parties.

The photographer will always retain the copyright in the photos. Copyright is the exclusive right to make or permit reproductions. This includes the use of photographs on the Internet.

In its most basic form, a model release will state the photographer has permission to photograph the model and to use the photographs. It will also indicate the model has been paid and how much.

Here is an example Model Release Form.

Going Commercial?

If you want to ensure you can do as you like with your own images, model release forms are essential.

There are occasions when you can get away with not providing a form and use your images elsewhere, for example, when you have been commissioned to shoot for a particular publication. But beware you do have a somewhat implied contract with the model, so using the images elsewhere could upset both model and commissioning publication.

As a reportage photographer, you are pretty much freed from the restraints of release forms. Shooting images for news stories gives you a free rein, though only if it can be deemed to be in the public’s interest for the image to be seen.

In general though, always get a model release. A good example is in the case of stock image libraries: no library will accept a non-released image. This has become more important with time as online libraries mean images can be used abroad, and foreign privacy laws may be very different to those in the UK.

Photographer's Rights

I thought it useful to include here the Photographer's Rights in the UK guide by Linda Macpherson.

This couple beside Hadrian's Wall seem uninterested in history but enchanted with each other.

I would love to know how a city State like Rome had sufficient soldiers to quell most of continental Europe then occupy England as far north as Northumberland for 3 or 400 years.

What was there to maintain their interest for such a long period?
