An Interesting Copyright Question

Tags: , , , , , ,

I found these shots from someone who buys unexposed rolls and plates and then attempts to process them. I found those after following up on another awesome find. An interesting question entered my mind while I was viewing the photos: Some of the best stuff (I think) I have ever done lives on unprocessed rolls [...]

Tags: , ,

In case you have not heard (this was covered on Slashdot and I’m sure the rest), Raw Therapee is now available under the terms of the GNU General Public License (Version 3 or later). Other than wishing it was GPL V2 or later, I’m really excited about this. Even though I have the option, I [...]

My Flickr Stream

Tags: ,

For other shutter bugs, I’ve created a flickr stream and have been slowly uploading stuff that I find interesting that I’ve shot over the past few months. Most of the images were taken with a Nikon D-40, using the standard / stock 18-55 MM lens. When time permits, I’ll set up a flickr gallery on [...]
