Hi Guys

I was reading another post by Susan Green about how many good photos there are on this site and how you could make a book of them and then it occurred to me, why not make a calendar with some of the seasonal photos on the site with the takers permission.

I work in advertising and media so can get things like this printed easily and cheaply enough. The proceeds could go to a charity or even the site to help its future running and updating....?

My girlfriend designs and makes her own jewlery, and up until recently has always paid for it to be photographed. I am looking to buy a decent bit of glass to do this myself.

So far i have become very confused, was looking at getting the Nikon 85mm micro, and this is the sort of money im willing to spend. However, reviews seem to be quite critical of this lens, without giving many alternatives. Some have suggested Tamron 90mm or even a sigma, but i cannot tell wether they would be compatable with body i have? Any advice suggestions appreciated

I've recently bought a Canon 8-120 Video lens off eBay for 10 pounds. I knew it wouldn't mount on my DSLRs but I said what the heck I'll find something smart to do with it.

And I didn't. :o

The lens apparently has to be attached for the iris to be open, so even if I did manage to make an adaptor from scratch, no light would come through.

I was wondering if any of you has any cute ideas. I'm even considering taking all the optics out and turning it into a fancy coffee mug, so I'm ready to hear anything really :D ]]> Lenses zeroD http://www.worldphotographyforum.com/showthread.php?t=7120 Instagram http://www.worldphotographyforum.com/showthread.php?t=7119&goto=newpost Tue, 08 May 2012 10:01:47 GMT Hey Guys I am really enjoying Instagram and the creative and mad pictures on there.

I am really enjoying Instagram and the creative and mad pictures on there. There are so many different types of photographer on there its amazing. As a photo site I am a little surprised this hasn't really been mentioned, particularly when its now the largest photo sharing app in the world.

I've recently done a shoot for a local council - photos of interior and exterior of local mosques for a BME document regarding safeguarding children at mosques. The photos have been delivered and my fee paid, but now I've received a demand to sign away my copyright and moral rights to all images taken on the shoot (entire universe, any formats, to infinity and beyond etc) .

Many of the chosen images for the publication included photos of children with no permission from parents (though permission of the mosque/imam). All chosen photos containing children have backs of heads/blurred/obscured so that nobody can be recognised.

They demand waiver of copyright for all images, which includes innocent photos of minarets, calligraphy, carpets etc. My initial feeling is to tell them to shove it - as none of these issues were raised pre commissioning. I understand that this may mean that they don't use the photos in the document, which would be a shame as I also designed the book and it would be a good addition to my portfolio (that said, if I sign then I won't be allowed to use it in my portfolio).

any advice gratefull received,
ta

Hi there all, just a quick post to introduce a new filter from Kolor - as those who know me will remember, I go a little nuts with Photoshop Filters etc. and I also use Autopano-Pro for my panoramas - well the maker of Autopano emailed me with a new filter that seemed too good to be true.

I've just uploaded a flower photo of an Easter Cacti. When veiwed as normal gallery size it appears grossly over saturated, but clicking on image for larger size the colour rendition looks perfect.

My monitor is a wide Gamut HP 24" and calibrated with a Spyder.
