Members Bernard Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Originally Posted by soundwave106 Ah, okay. You are correct there. In practice, the big distinction is commercial applications. You really don't need a model release form for photographic exhibits or even if you sell prints of a photograph ("art" applications). You *do* need a model release form the instant you slap that photo on an advertisement, album cover, commercial web site, kiosk, or any "business" application -- at least, if you are making money. Elsewise, the person could sue for a piece of the profit that comes from using their likeness. (If you are not making money from said image, no one is going to sue, of course. ) I have found a good resource which covers that in detail: http://www.danheller.com/model-release.html Section 8.5 Art, Books, Exhibitions, Presentations, Etc. It's funny while looking for that to support what you say re art I found one site that kind of weaseled towards saying ''well actually to be safe here is a copy of a model release form to use in case'' Other art forums where also concluding to stay out of court do a release even for art. Especially given you may be the unlucky one a judge suddenly decides to rule against... My personal feeling is yes to model release as it means the subject is also agreeing for you to use their image. It is a bit risky and imoral to rely on the art clause. In an extreme case an individual could find a way of getting even with you if the courts failed them on the grounds of art work... Having said that the law is the law and if your allowed in the states, then it is your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, yours too - and btw, i too was intrigued by the Santa Monica photo. At first glance i would have guessed some arab country. And the beetle seems to be the mexican national car - although they are not all red - there is one in almost every picture of a mexican city street that i took.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 The veedubs are probably all over Mexico because they were still being produced there until fairly recently.Michael: I'm guessing that shot was taken sometime around winter...? There's usually far more people there than that at that time of day. That must have been a real long lens, too, those mountains in the background are farther away than they appear in your shot.

Actually, it was taken on a weekday last June. I zoomed in on a relatively small part of the beach... Going back to the photos I took that day, I found this un-zoomed photo looking northward toward Malibu... You can see the little cluster of palm trees I zoomed in on: From the same spot, looking southwest toward the Santa Monica pier, you can see where most of the people are on the beach: My camera is a cheap ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keybdwizrd Posted June 12, 2010 Members Share Posted June 12, 2010 So while I'm at it, this is one of my favorite photos of all time.... I had recently moved to Berkeley, California... It was a gorgeous day in May of 1987, so I took off prowling the City with an old Canon camera (film, obviously) that my father had handed down to me. I was somewhere just off Lincoln Blvd, near the Sea Cliff area, when I spied this awesome schooner heading in from the Pacific toward the Golden Gate.

By analogy, I think your photos are a testimony to that. What I like most about most of the photos posted on here so far [including yours] is how they are composed*. I can relate a theme to each one of them [they can even be musically inspiring]. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody proved scientifically that one's music composition talent is tightly linked to their visual/photographic skills *Included for learning/reference purposes only [theory, rules, definitions, etc. are always beneficial], but if you just shoot without "too much thinking" [i.e, instinctively, or semi-instinctively] and get those kinds of shots, do not restrict your innate ability by going by the rules.

But I'm broke When I do get rich, it will probably be this one [it came out recently and got rave reviews]. I don't know how much importance you reserve to the video mode in your digital camera, but I almost fainted when I saw this. You can shoot a pro movie with this thing. But if I may, one important advice assuming video is important to you: get a DSLR that has a microphone input [such as the one below]. So far, I haven't heard of any digicam that provides a decent audio capture quality through its onboard mic. Switch to HD mode to view this [720p at least, or 1080p if your CPU is really fast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NO! Must...resist...need...Leslie... lol PF. But yes, that cam is incredible [the Rebel T2i]. What are the specs of your lenses? I can check for you online and see if you can use them on it. I haven't done photography in a very long time but have had a sudden and renewed interest in it lately [especially videography]. I think it has something to do with the loss of my job, but who knows.. My main technical interests in photography are the 2 extremes of depth of field: macrophotography and telephotography in both photo and video modes. My cam's video mode is very limited compared to today's digicams. The Canon PowerShot S60 for example [pic at top of thread] can only record 30-second-long vids at a time. Not only that, the video is very jittery even at the cam's highest frame rate setting, and the optical zoom [only 3.6x] cannot be set once the recording starts. In picture mode, however, the performance of this cam is excellent for its age [5.0MP] and for what I use it for. With the HD resolution/revolution and its relative affordability at the consumer level, this cam [and the other one I used to take the pics up there and the vid below] are good for the museum. When I first saw kids using HD cams on youtube [thanks mommy/daddy!] for the chit they use them for, it kinda "pissed me off" lol [hint: see my sig]: I have to get a Canon HD DSLR and/or a SONY HD camcorder [Canon is the king of photography; SONY the queen of videography] sooner or later because I have so many ideas, projects, etc (I also want to incorporate my music with video). Life is short.. Here's a silly little vid I recorded in my neighborhood. I mounted the cam on my tripod to do some timelapse photography when this happened! I now believe in the possibility of believing that we're not alone in this world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the 'cone' of light on the wall... I can't stop thinking about how that DSLR has such good video specs. There are lots of people like me who already have good SLR lenses. If you can now mate them with what is essentially a very good HD video camera that out-performs many high priced, dedicated vid cams ( and also happens to be a very good DSLR), for $600, that's big! But NO! Get thee behind me! btw, if you all don't have the B&H Photo/Video catalog, you should request it. It's the size of a phone book. It's not just photo stuff; there's also around 200 pages of pro audio/music goodies. The published prices are a little high, but they have sales...

Members pogo97 Posted June 12, 2010 Members Share Posted June 12, 2010 Oh, this is suddenly exciting. I have some photos I took a few years ago with a Nikon 950. I did a whole lot of "texture shots." These were shots that deliberately avoided a subject and were simply interesting small-scale patterns. I use them as desktop photos.
