It's nice to see Lisa Frank developing a camera for left handed ravers.

Please don't edit my work without written consent. It's copyrighted, and by retouching it, you're in violation of that copyright. I'm not trying to be an rear end here, it's just a bit disrespectful to take other peoples' work and work on it without asking them first.

As for why it's so flat, I wanted to maintain the midtones as much as possible, to get a full dynamic range. In my edit, I have one white spot, and one black spot, but it's not overwhelming on either side. Your edit hits the whites hard and the darks hard. Sure the extra contrast is nice, but it's not maintaining tonal detail.

reddit posted:

I'm not trying to be rude here, I just have work to protect. I'd think that if any place would be supportive of the work of others, it's be a subreddit populated by photographers. Either way, I'm happy to abide by your speculations on it.

Because the copyright of the image is new (created this morning), I'm unable to provide the actual certificate of copyright for the image. However, you can file an inquiry for the image at your local copyright office. The Claim number is 1-2905925101, filed at 9:43am PT on 11/24/2015.

Frankly, I've had images stolen from me a year or so ago, and decided it'd be best to autocopyright anything I publish. Doing this has netted be over $9K over the last year in copyright infringements. This is advice I'd suggest you all take to protect your work from theft. Unfortunately, we live in a culture now that doesn't think to credit artist or respect their work, so copyright infringement is rampant.

However, my intentions aren't to sue the living poo poo out of people on reddit. My purpose of gaining copyright on my images is to protect my work from publications and other commercial outlets. Does it bother me that people are taking my image and editing it without asking me? Yeah, a little...but purely because of the latter portion.

As for my image being flat, my monitor self calibrated itself this morning, and has a contrast ratio of 1000:1. It also covers 99% of AdobeRGB color space, and 100% of sRGB. My monitor indicates exactly how I wanted the image to look, which was contrast while maintaining detail.

reddit posted:

I appreciate your input on the topic, but let me further reiterate my point once again. As I've stated multiple times since my original comment, I have no intentions of suing anyone for their actions here. I am fully aware and fully understand the repercussions of sharing images on the internet. However, I've never visited a forum before where this kind of behavior is allowed. Often, many of them (POTN, DPReview, and others for example) have a setting in your profile where you can allow others to edit your images or not.

I'm an editor of two very large publications on photography and have been a writer and/or editor for the majority of publications on the field of photography over the last five years. So after having an incredibly large amount of my images stolen, misused, and mishandled in the past, I've learned to take this topic very seriously. I even went as far to mention this to other colleagues in the industry, to check if I was being irrational. Quite literally everyone I've spoken to agreed that this is a very bizarre rule to have. The people I questioned about this were all professionals in the field of photography, writing, or retouching. The rule itself seems really odd and disrespectful to the work of others. That said, I'm not the rule maker here, and I'm perfectly content with sharing my work elsewhere if that is what I need to do.

reddit posted:

I wholeheartedly disagree, and will refrain from posting here in the future.

All in response to this edited example based on a suggestion another poster made about the photo not being so flat:


after this original photo was posted in an image critiquing thread by the photographer:


Due to the Streisand effect, this wound up happening:

He got her relevent pair of assets in frame and thats all that matters.


the editor and telling his colleagues about someone editing his photo are stdh

E: It might just be me but in the flat photo my eyes are drawn to her tattoo but in the edit I'm drawn to her face so the edited one is 100% better,

He opened himself up to nitpicking details when he went ballistic about his copyright and started blabbing about his professional career as if it gives his opinion more merit than anyone else's.

Yes it literally ceases to exist. All that you're seeing is the faint after image still imprinted on your brain.

What I meant was that an editor of Two Very Large Publications On Photography should know that in general amputating people's limbs is distracting.

Sorry for the guy being funny in his room format, but it's really worth sitting through it for the sheer pedestrian insanity. Hillixia really is the best photographer's project.

Is that the photographer in the reflection in the window? Where did this idea come from that you have to be looking away from your camera and away from what you're shooting in order to make a great shot? lovely "amazing!!11!!!!1!" photos and making-of-lovely-amazing-photos series often seem to show this.

Don't think so, think that's someone inside the restaurant.

You can see the photographer's reflection though, he's wearing blue.


I want to know why that dude is so angry about a chess game that is apparently three moves old.

Also it's nice to have confirmation that the secret to getting onto "best of" lists is producing uninspired clones of poo poo that everyone else does.

Those photos were picked by the flickr algo, it's based off of likes and comments and such.
