In Topic: A VERY good reason to buy equipment insurance!

So, let me get this right, a person who is a supposed professional, wants someone else to give him stuff because he wasn't professional enough to insure himself? Unbelievable.

Even that does not stop some...

I actually dislike intensely watermarks, but not for aesthetic reasons. Watermarks - in my view - reinforce the view that photographers should, in some way, be protecting their work. There is no need, no formal requirement...copyright is clear on this point and we can all leave them lying around for others to view...there are racks and racks of magazines available with plenty of images displayed...we should be at liberty to enjoy our property without concern, but there are many who do not respect this.


It's against the law for someone to steal my computer I left in my unlocked car. But it would be stupid for me to leave it out like that. My opinion is putting your photos out there without watermarking them is the same thing. And no Im not saying stealing your photo is right. I just, personally, think it's dumb to leave your computer out and get mad when someone steals it. Computer is a metaphor for photos. I just know someone is going to ask.

Maybe im missing the boat here but is there some attachment for the lens to be able to put it on and take it off? Or swing in, as the Subsee does? As it appears to me im left underwater holding it. I see this as a recipe for disaster.

Not to say you shouldn't be glad to have your photo on that site but having said that I have a question. Anyone can steal your photo and put it up on their site as long as they give you credit? I actually think it's worse that they know who the picture belongs to and didn't seek your permission and/or offer renumifaction.
