Thanks guys.. Its where the brides side steals the shoes and then at the end of the ceremony demands money from the groom. Its quite funny to watch and photograph at the same time.

I should do a series of all the different shots I have taken from just that scene.

Anyways..

That Z shot could have been great, but you put the watermark right through the most critical part of the image: the subject.

I understand the whole issue with people stealing photos and posting them as their own works, but if you've gone to the trouble of making and applying a watermark, take the 10 extra seconds to make a second copy for places (like this forum) where your photo is less likely to be "stolen" by others. Use the version above for when you post to Facebook, etc.

If you've done an event gallery and you're watermark is smack bang in the middle like that people will still rip your image and use on their online galleries anyway. People just don't associate any value to event photography. sad by true. The only time someone really wants a shot is if they want the high res to print it off for a wall somewhere. People are happy with low res watermarked up shit for their fb/blog sites and computer archives.

Besides car owners at events who is really going to steal your image? It's not likely Top Gear are going to steal it for their next cover, and I doubt nissan would want it for a future brochure. I know no-one is likely to steal my amatuer shit, My watermark is more for traffic generation and crediting the shot to me rather than protecting my copyright and ruining my image.

Not saying you shouldn't mark your work man. Just saying that for most of the time a watermark won't stop someone using it if they want to, and that most of us togs here font need to worry about people stealing our work.

As nick suggested, if you want show off some of your finer shots it might be worth using a less intrusive mark. Keep your super big mark for the event galleries if u think it helps reduce people stealing your shit/increase sales.

I personally dont think his watermark is that bad across the image. Does distract the image but its not that bad.

For anyone saving images on web make sure you save it at 72dpi.

Images get stolen all the time. A good friend of mine had his entire blog posts stolen and several galleries worth of images. He even went as far as taking the watermark out and putting his own on and even describing the wedding day on his own blog. Low life scum.

Check out my thread here on this:

wow...ok sorry for posting a photo with a watermark on it.... fyi i have had photos stolen before for advertising purposes.

Scenario:- One of your remarkable photos (with distinct but covert watermark) is uploaded by a company without your permission > Used for their profit > Sue the pants off them

first time in a while ive been able to get outside while the sun sets

Fongy - awesome pics mate. Love the processing as well.

Jay - that pano is just WOW!!! incredible. DUDE seriously print this please and hang it up!!

A random from Saturdays wedding. Haven't gone thru all the pics but posted this teaser one up for them Sunday morning before my early start to another full wedding day:

I did a few proper silhouettes for them, but I like this lighter version as it shows off the dress nicely.

I shot a friends wedding on Saturday, hired the Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 VRII. Wow, I really felt my left arm after 3 hours, after 7 hours it was oh so sore.

was just going to quote the post for truth but had to include the photo as well....so beautiful..left it a while before i checked into this thread and regretting it. Some truly awesome stuff in here and it makes me feel pretty silly kicking off a Feb thread with my amateur bumblings. :unsure:

as for the watermark issue, i dont know how to remove the things so if nothing else it stops punks like me uploading it to their facebook car albums..not that im pretending they are mine or anything. Just have a few thousand pics of gorgeous cars i like to share. The 350z could have been one of them...sigh.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
