Aren't the photos "evidence"?

They might be, and the police/prosecution could likely use them without permission for that purpose. What they probably cannot do is publish them, without attribution, to newspapers/media. Not an issue that comes up that often, though.

DISCLAIMER: HYPOTHETICAL ISSUES, I AM NOT YOUR LAWER!
Of course every legal answer has a 'maybe' answer.

A bit more detail is that the photos are 'evidence' as in that they do tend to provide information about a matter in question. However, the question you are likely asking is are they admissible evidence. The answer to that, is probably no. Without the photographer or other witness to verify that the photo is an accurate representation of the events in question, these are inadmissible. Now they can subpoena the identity of the photographer from Flickr and the ISP, force her to take the stand, and prosocute them for purgery or contempt if they lie or refuse. All of that is a bit far fetched, but this doesn't get at the problem that as FairU Use would not cover the use of publication.

17 USC § 107 posted:

  1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
  2. The nature of the copyrighted work
  3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
  4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

1. Trial evidence would favor the police and would likely be dispositive. Publishing in the paper weighs in the copyright holder's favor to a moderate degree.
2. Isn't a factor in this context but more of a reference point of the other 3.
3. 100%, published in a paper, without credit. Heavily in favor of the rights holder.
4. This one will depend on the judges mood. If the copyrighted work is posted on a free website and not attempted to be sold or the author has never sold a single work, can this be seen as negitively affecting the market. On the otherhand, you could argue that as the creator you have a right to keep it from appearing in the Oakland/SF paper if that is your desire. Likely in favor of the rights holder.

If the court would faithfully apply fair use the rights holder could beat it as to the publishing. The only problem would be that if you didn't have a registered copyright before the paper published, you'd have to prove damages. That'd gently caress you, virtually noone on flickr will be able to prove enough damages to get a benefit to bring the suit.

Can you get a split prism screen for DSLRs?

You can also make your own. If you have a broken film SLR, the right tools, and a DSLR that accepts drop-in focus screens then you can measure the original screen, carefully disassemble the film SLR and cut or file down its' focus screen to size.

I did this with my K10d by destroying a nonfunctional Pentax ME. The only thing I did wrong was to not be careful and get the screen dirty. It's matte so it's nearly impossible to clean now.

I have a perfectly functional split screen prism with a few specks of grime. Not the most elegant solution, but if you're strapped for cash and don't feel bad about taking apart old equipment then I can vouch for results.

$.1/GB/Mo... I guess $14/mo isn't that bad for offsite backup. Is it for business or personal? ...for personal there are plenty of other strategies that could be nearly as effective for less cash.

None of them are really as idiot-proof or secure though. Optical degrades, hard drives fail, there's always the remote possibility of fire, theft, etc.

Personal, but important. I'd rather have the peace of mind than the $14.

I always wonder about external mirror drives (like what I back up my photos on), since they are essentially just cloning each other, maybe they are cloning their failure probability too?

Your doing it wrong, you need at least 3 drives for backup :suicide:

But seriously sometimes poo poo happens, having your stuff in the cloud always helps, i think 2 backup drives and another in cyberspace somewhere is more than enough, if that doesn't help, the stress of worrying about a 4th storage method would just kill me.

I just wanted to come in here and admit that my workflow is pretty much a blend of bullshit and lethargy.

I sort things into folders by month (all RAW and jpegs together), then import the jpegs to iPhoto. I browse in iPhoto, then use Spotlight to find the RAW file I want to open. Sometimes I save the original PSD, sometimes I just save as a jpeg and call it good. Everything I edit goes into a folder called "Photo Edits" or one of its randomly named subfolders.

There's a reason I have zero aspirations of doing this professionally.

Edit: I DO have everything backed up to a RAID 1 NAS device though.

I haven't had a failure yet but I do backup all my poo poo with jungledisk and it's awesome.

I just backup my processed files.. my computer runs a raid 1 so I am not at a horrible risk of losing all my poo poo. The final products are whats most important to me anyway, I don't really ever go back and re-edit old photos.

I swear that there is something magical about the light in Japan. It's perfect for photography - as soon as the day gets a bit of sun, every single shot you take has perfect brightness, contrast and colour.

I've never felt that elsewhere.

I have a Foto folder with subfolders done by month. Within each is a RAW and a FINISHED folder. Stuff straight from camera -even jpegs- goes in the RAW folder, and anything that I've taken to a processed stage is saved in finished. Lightroom is in its own folder in the default area, though I might change that. I have an external hard drive that I haven't backed my stuff onto in a while, but I do use backblaze, which is $50 a year for unlimited storage, and has so far been awesome.

I'm not sure of the correct answer, cause I cannot understand the problem fully, but in this case, I would do a simple test:

Pick an image, got into explorer and drag it from its location and onto the desktop.

Then run LR and see what happens when you browse to that image.

If it is missing, then you've screwed up. If LR seems happy, then you can got ahead and move all the NEFs to a folder elsewhere for a week, then delete them (to be on the safe side)

FWIGTEW and Other First Wedding Acronyms

Lensrentals.com posted:

This one is rather specific to the rental business, but its amazing how many people order the Canon 24-70 f2.8 and are shocked that it doesn’t work on their Nikon D300. Or my favorite “I couldn’t use the 85mm f1.4 lens you sent me because it wouldn’t zoom out sufficiently to take the group shots I planned to use it for. You should say more clearly on the website that it doesn’t zoom.” And the runner up “I had no idea the camera I ordered to shoot this wedding didn’t come with a lens. I wanted one with a lens.” Uhm. The part where the page said “This camera doesn’t come with a lens” didn’t provide a hint, huh?

Working at a photography equipment rental company must be incredibly frustrating sometimes.
