But there are plenty of other things to shoot out there. My plan is simple: keep doing great work that wannabes cannot duplicate with their "Lifestyle" actions, capture real moments, and by doing excellent post processing. We'll see how it goes in the next few years... Maybe I will look at something else in the future, but for now video is paying my bills... pat :)Patrick Murphy-Raceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205215382696219811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68561167759469285.post-8843393264486410992014-05-12T10:44:26.843-04:002014-05-12T10:44:26.843-04:00Everyone is same color when they're standing b...Everyone is same color when they're standing behind the camera... put down your deck of race cards and take said 'leadership role'.

If he has made deals in the past, or been forced by his clients to give up his copyright (if you work for any of the major sports franchises or leagues it is highly likely) today's atmosphere may make it even worse.

It would be lovely if all photographers united, turned around and said "no, these rates are too low, and I'm retaining my copyright" but it's wishful thinking at best. If you stand your ground the likelihood is you'll lose your client, and the next guy, eager for the work, will accept the low rate and be more than happy to give up their copyright.<br /><br />The photographer's business model has to change (particularly here in the UK where the average client isn't as sophisticated as in the US when it comes to licensing, usage etc.) otherwise we'll all be out of a job, and those willing to work for less will gazump us. Their careers may be short lived, when they realise they can't make a living from it, but they will be replaced with the next lot of fresh photographers, and then they will be replaced by the next lot and so on.<br /><br />I don't claim to have the answer, but the more I hear people saying "stand your ground on cost, and hold on to your copyright" the more I think these people are going to get left behind. The days of the superstar photographer are over, it's time for a new approach to making a living from photography.<br /><br />Now if only someone could tell me what that is, I'm all ears.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480366168428386395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68561167759469285.post-65258003456309040552014-05-07T13:12:13.521-04:002014-05-07T13:12:13.521-04:00"Where you are from, what kind of device you ..."Where you are from, what kind of device you are using, who provides your access to the internet, what image you selected, what other images you looked at, etc... They gather all this information in seconds and then they have something really important that advertisers would love to buy: you!"<br /><br />Actually that is not the data they gather...at least they don't get info about you, the blog host, who is embedding the image on your blog.<br /><br />What they get is basic info on people who visit your site, since the embed is served to your visitors each time they visit you. That way, using cookies, they can correlate it with other interests your visitors have have from other sites they visit. Eventually Getty will then be able to overlay the images with ads customized to the viewer.<br /><br />Getty will of course also get traffic info on your blog post. But they can't see what other sites you yourself visit.<br /><br />If they do ever decide to overlay ads on the image they have said that revenue will be shared with the photographer, so we'll see if that happens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083190014669867976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68561167759469285.post-17565342430135270912014-05-07T12:19:00.036-04:002014-05-07T12:19:00.036-04:00though this is arguably fair use since he is comme...though this is arguably fair use since he is commenting on the photo itself and its uses.

Also, those who adhere to Getty's Terms and Conditions would not "pick one to use on your blog as [you] did below."<br /><br />What you actually did was to download or screen-capture the watermarked version, and upload it to blogspot. I do believe that Getty's Terms require you INSTEAD to "embed" the image by putting special HTML coding into your page. This results in an image "showing up" on your page, when it's actually hosted at Getty. And it results in an automated set of icons that allow the end-reader to click through to Getty's site, or to access the embed coding themselves so that they too can have the image show up on their page.<br /><br />I could be wrong here, but I do believe you didn't follow Getty's demanded process for utilizing the image.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057420137562213288noreply@blogger.com
