Thanks, making progress with an email response now. Cheers
Jump to postI would much prefer to deal with someone directly on this rather than posting emails and details to a public forum. I’m sure passwords are encrypted, that really doesn’t change the fact that someone has taken that information. Please stop giving reasons that “It can’t happen,” and instead focus on i...
Jump to postI have received the same email scam last week, with my password that is only used on this website.
Very clearly you have a data breach, as someone has both my email and password associated with this website. Please let me know what you are doing to address this serious issue.
Hey! Been about 3 years since my last upload, essentially stopped even visiting the site since. Saw this thread through Facebook though, so got me curious enough to poke my head in for a visit. Most of my best images from the North were taken in winter, so in low light or darkness. I also moved away...
Jump to postI sell canvas prints fairly often, but I always get the printing done myself, and then sell the customer the finished product. I do not send a high-res file for the customer to print, and I imagine most other photographers would do things the same way. To give you an idea, for a 12 x 18 print on can...

Jump to postI find <acronym title="Island Airlines (USA) and Eagle Air/Arnaflug (Iceland)">IS</acronym> extremely useful in a lot of my photography. Taking photos in Canada's arctic, I am constantly shooting in low light. (Except for the short summer months!) It allows me to push the limits of my photos further...
Jump to postHere's what I do. See if you can find out what other photographers in your area charge for prints. Local photographers in my area will sell a un-framed, un-matted 16x24 print for anywhere between $100 and $200. If the company wants to print it themselves, then subtract a bit because you don't have t...
Jump to postPilot first, photographer second. I can't even count the number of times I've had to pass on a great photo opportunity because my duties as a pilot come first. But if you want to keep your job as a pilot, that's the way it has to be. When I do have time though, the opportunities can be incredible! <...
Jump to postDon't sell the photo outright. Sell a license for them to use the photo for specific purposes, for a specific period of time. That way you control the photo's use, and you still own the photo, so you can license it to someone else. If or when you do agree to send them the photo, just send a full-res...

Jump to postI say give the guy some credit. Getting so many perfectly symmetrical images would take some time and effort. Taking the background out really makes you focus on the details of the aircraft. For sure it's more on the art side of photography compared to the database style of this website, and that's ...
Jump to postRight now I'm really happy with my setup: Canon 5D Mk <acronym title="Business Air (United Kingdom)">II</acronym>, 16-35 <acronym title="Falcon Air Express (USA)">F2</acronym>.8, 24-105, and 100-400. Personally I went with the 16-35 instead of the 17-40 just because I could get f2.8, which is a huge...
Jump to postHey Cal,
I had the same problem when I switched to using Lightroom. As Vikkyvik said, just make sure it's in sRGB. I've still got a couple photos in the database that I need to re-upload because they're in adobeRGB.

Jump to postThanks guys. Just some info, they were all taken with a Canon 5D Mk <acronym title="Business Air (United Kingdom)">II</acronym> and 100-400mm lens.

I need some help with how to properly label some of my photos with regards to the location they were taken. I am a bush pilot in Canada's North, and we often fly to un-named lakes.

Jump to postI've found using the 100-400 in the cockpit gets me mixed results. Probably about half the time I've tried using it i've gotten useable photos, the other half aren't that great. (some due to too low an ISO of course!) One of my problems with shooting up front is the windshield heat. Sometimes, at ce...
Jump to postHad this one rejected for dirty. I'm assuming it's because it was snowing at the time. I know there's many photos in the database taken when it was snowing, so what is the issue with this one? Is it because it's only light snow? <a href="http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/rejections/big/20100526_r12...
Jump to postThanks mho, I will have someone else flying, I will only be shooting. I am hoping to have the whole door removed, but that's not a sure thing yet. Either way I know that shooting through windows absolutely will not work. Just one other note, we will most likely be at 1000 feet while photographing. T...

Jump to postSounds like you guys have it figured out pretty good. To drive home the point, here's some "heat haze" I saw a couple weeks ago at -26 Celcius!
Thanks Dana, this is looking a lot easier than I thought it would be! With my serial number it's part #R190-504, so I just went to B&H Photo's website and typed in the part number, and there you go, $5 each!
Hopefully you can find your part just as easily!
Thanks again

I had my tripod out in the snow last weekend and it appears I have broken it!

Jump to postI think airside access is huge, if you have that then the airport you are at doesn't matter as much. Since I work at the airport, having my camera close by is a must as well.
