Some work with my Cokins

[rumples riot]

Hi all,

thought you might like to see the work I have done with my Cokin Filters. Went down to Port Willunga to shoot some frames of the old Jetty stumps.
Well here they are.

BTW they are Copyright, no copying without my express permission thank you.

Beautfull shots - especially the horizon differentiation.

Since this forum is wide open on the net and you want to maintain copyright (actual and practical) may I suggest that you post only low res' images (already done) with your copyright watermarked. A grdiated w/mark makes it very hard to remove / replace.

[rumples riot]

Yeah I am with you there, but the image is copyright per se. Meaning I don't need to place watermarks etc. If I find someone using it for personal gain I can institute legal proceedings.

But don't want to bring my own thread down. I am just informing.

[rumples riot]

The low res images are not that flash I must admit. The full size stuff is amazing. Even I do say so myself.

[davidpretorius]

they are superb!!

people pay good money for these you know!!!

[davidpretorius]

are the big ones on that "art" website you posted a few months ago???

[rumples riot]

Yeah, they are about 430k. The full size versions I have here are 16mb Davo. I sometimes sell my stuff on the DA site.

[rumples riot]

Here it is Davo and all who are interested.

thanks, glorious photos in that site, love the spider!

[iceman]

They look great.

Which filter(s) were used with those shots?

[rumples riot]

Davo, the spider shot is someones work that I really like. The page you initially land on is my page. If you go to the gallery tab; that is my gallery.

Mike P171 is the filter for both shots.

I remember that night there was some eerie light too add to the filters effect, nice one Paul
isnt copyright on the net just a joke anyway? sorry but its true (i'm not talking about printed stuff) you being a lawyer should know that :-) unless your coca cola or someone like that, anyway what kind of sad sob would steal someones photo!!

[davidpretorius]

actually i saw a guy post a m42 on an american forum that for a minute i thought was chris venter's, but on closer inspection, it was different.

i was ready to expose him!!!

Post it - no watermark and it is effectively public domain - See how search engines work. And 'steal' - you have never control C'ed an image on the net?

But then - that IS the beauty of the net - a sharing of information. So be careful about what you place - email is better for private transmission (with encryption). Net - is W-I-D-E open.

Kearn, your right copyright is only workable in the commercial sense. However, just imagine if someone wants my work bad enough and decides to steal it and then sells it to a publishing company. Assuming they can get a big enough image (which I never leave anywhere) and the company starts using my image thinking it is someone elses. One day I see my image in a shop. This is the start of a copyright case. You need lots of money of course.

Yeah Davo you have to be very careful about accusing someone of copyright breach. Remember if you decide to accuse someone, make sure you have good proof and expose them privately, not on a forum. If your wrong, you could be landed with a defamation case. Most likely not generally, but there is always that chance.

Anyway, thanks guys for the interest in my images.

[davidpretorius]

i would love to catch someone trying to do something with rumples shots, gee it would funny to watch them get the you know what beat out of them by a quick thinking lawyer!!!

imagine that "why did i choose to rip off a photographer who happened to be a lawyer????"

[rumples riot]

Thanks Ving, mighty nice of you to say so. Hence the reason why I got invited to exhibit Australia wide this year.

Stinky ( I cannot take that name seriously) the Australian Act is pretty specific about copyright, we are not like the US at least in this regard. So long as I can prove I was the first to express this image in its material form I have copyright. That is very easy to do. I have the orginals in safe keeping. However, this is really a moot point, I don't make any big money from this yet and if I ever did I might consider other ways of protecting my work.

Interesting ideas guys. Thanks.

Sorry the 2 shots dont do anything for me tooooooooo un-natural
heavyly processed for my liking
looks nothing like the real thing IMHO

[stinky]

Yes I think effort in development much better than effort in something that is a non-issue. If you are lucky enough to have an issue - well done!

[rumples riot]

Anyone else care to comment on my work. I thought all you dudes loved sunsets. Surely this qaulifies?????

:) Top work Paul, as usual
