So Your Company Has Been Found Using My Photos Without Permission. What Next?

This was my favourite Q... one that can applied to anyone providing a service as opposed to a physical product.

 

Q. It’s just a photo! Surely a photo can’t be worth that much.

It is not “just a photo.” Photography is how I supported my family for years, and photographs incur significant time, travel, equipment, and research costs. I did not travel to rural Argentina, spend weeks processing images and identifying the animals, and purchase $10k worth of camera gear to give your company free marketing materials.

Morning Hubbers.

I have a technical issue with which I need some opinions.

I have a 10-year old Canon350D in reasonable condition. Of late it has been "washing out" about 30% of any batch of photos I take, even of the same scene with no changes made to settings or changes in scene, lighting or anything else. I don't think the problem is with the compact card since the problem has occurred with 2 different cards, although the problem could be the connection.

Below are 2 examples taken of the same scene at the Epic finish. they were shot on continuous setting with the same exposure and shutter speed and have just both been reduced in size in Photoshop for the purposes of posting here. I saved them both to the minimum setting and notice the resultant size in files. Original file sizes were 3.45 Mb and 845Kb.

Anybody got any ideas what the problem could be?

Cheers.

Strongly suspect your shutter is dead or dying.

 

Martin's theory about sticky aperture diaphragm in the lens is also worth checking.....easy to do by just trying a different lens.

Thanks. I've booked it in for a checkup and will try another lens but the problem is it's a sporadic problem so I need to take a lot of shots to make sure one way or the other. I have to solve the problem though, I guess..

Dunno how many birders there are on the hub but here goes.....

 

Just a couple of km past the turn off to the Karkloof Country Club you will find the Karkloof Conservancy. There are 2 hides overlooking wetlands. I quite often make a dawn patrol past the hides, followed by breakfast at the club and then a circuit on one of the mtb trails.

 

Here are a few pics I got there

What setup do you typically use for your BiF?

Thanks. Using Nikon D800 with 500 f/4G mounted on a gimbal head. Occasionally with a 1.4 teleconverter but this slows the focussing down a bit so I try not to use it for flight pics.
