I think your problem is going to be that they will accept it, along with a ton of other coffee images, because coffee is an easy subject that everyone has laying around.

What the Duck has the answer to everything photographic. I really need to order on of his plushies.

To add: Why in the hell are photographer sites still embedding auto play cheesy music? Are prospects actually impressed by it? Is this some sort of cary over from the physical world, where studios are continuously known to play soft jazz?

That's the thing with Facebook. It's too easy to do that kind of stuff. At least if it's on Flickr or something like that, the person has to make a conscious effort to gank your photos. Facebook also makes it easy for a person to crop out the watermark when they make a photo a profile picture.

Facebook also strips off all the EXIF info from the photo so you can't embed stuff like copyright in the photo. That and it recompresses photos and makes them look like crap.

If you're going to post photos on there, post one or two photos with a link to your web site for the rest of the set.

While this may not completely solve all of the problems, you can attach your flickr account to your facebook account. I had to have them connected for a design teacher a while back and forgot about it until I started using flickr again. The uploads show up in your newsfeed just like the photos uploaded to facebook do. kind of trick really.

I suppose that you give up on the ability to tag people, but whatever.

Yup, although you want to make sure you get that middle part or people will crop your watermark RIGHT OUT.

needs more lens flares. they're hard to crop out and thus prevents all piracy and boosts your professionalism.

I probably should fill the Aperture logo with it. Also, about the Aperture, that's the right logo I want right? It lets people know I'm a photographer.

I think maybe a picture of you taking pictures might work instead of the aperture logo. Then they'll know it's your photo!

Going off of this, if you can afford it, you should pick up a cheap, used body -- like a 20D or something -- and put a 10-22 on it. Tape it to 10mm, mount it on a pole attached to a helmet so that it is directly above and behind you, and use a pocket wizard to make sure that every photo you take with your main body triggers a shot with the remote camera. Then, every photo you post needs to have this proof included somewhere as part of the watermark. Plus, camera helmets are in fashion.

This is crazy enough that it might just work, i actually want to try this, no sarcasm.

The problem I have with those type of holsters is that if you miss by 1 inch your camera just went plummeting into the ground.

If you let go of the camera before you feel the lock falling over the pin you deserve all the damage you'll get.

A shoot out at 10 paces.

Also they look horrible if you happen to have a long (telephoto) lens.
I need something that keeps the camera strap away from my collar bone, but that's not it.

TBH turning the camera around so the lens is facing you before you put the strap on your shoulder fixes 90% of issues. It only becomes problematic if you have a second body and need to put it on your left shoulder.

I tried that, with a heavier lens I feel so worried about it. I have broad shoulders but it still feels like it will fall off. :/ Maybe I am just paranoid.
