flickr.

you can't save the photos if the user doesn't allow it, but you can still save the whole page and get the photo.

You can always save the photo regardless of user settings. It's trivial if you have Firebug or any other developer tool - literally point and click to get the URL for the image. If you know how to use their API it's easy to pull everyone's photos, in any size, regardless of settings through the UI (unless they've fixed recently). It's against their ToS but it's technically possible.

Basically don't upload full size to Flickr if you don't want full size to get ripped off by people looking to steal photos.

Do any of you guys use a tablet of some kind as part of your on site photography? Not for PP, or using the tablet itself for shooting, but for actual use in getting your shots, with a dslr? If so what are you using? Any recommendations?

well, you can get an eye-fi card so that your shots go straight to the tablet. thats probably the easiest way. I think for an Ipad you have to jailbreak.

i saw that potn got you for a couple of days because of the pricing on the market.

That place kills me sometimes.

Does it actually say why I got the ban?


I was thinking more along the lines using a tablet as a huge live view monitor....No go?

no i stumbled on a thread and somebody said about potn doesn't allow people to judge others on their pricing. then bam you were banned lol. not a moderator for them so i don't see the reason why. but it made sense why you were.

as to answering your question. it can be done. I wanted to do that as well use a tablet while people can see a bigger version of what came out. instead of the 3" display. Just need the Eye-Fi card if your D750 doesn't have wifi capability.

You don't need to jail break an iPad to do that with an eye-fi.. J

Eye-fi is only wireless transmitting and uploading of files.

no not live view just sends files to the tablet to be viewed.

Ohh ok, cause PTTL was asking about remote live view.

Anyways, for file transferring, eye-fi doesn't need a jail broken jpad to do it. They have a direct mode that will transfer from the card to the iPad. The eye-fi creates a wifi network for the iPad to connect to.

As for using the wifi for live view. I did it once using my Son NEX-6.

Used it for night photography so I could be inside my tent taking pictures.

Did it once for a "selfie"

haha trust me...I won't be doing any selfies. I just was wondering what the wifi madness is all about. I'd like to be able to see better in live view.

Anytime Ive attempted to watch anything on fstoppers they come off as complete chuckle heads.

They take gear...have no clue how to use it, now make an educated attempted to learn how prior to using it, and then post half assed reviews where they make all sorts of incorrect statements and then spread across the internet.

I owned a piece of gear they did this with...and even after having to make an update post (which was half assed and hidden deep in the comments of the original video) they STILL didn't get all their straight.

Bottom line, my opinion, fstoppers are a bunch of morons who down know their assholes from a hole in the ground.

I've watched only a few of their videos, and their how to be series. It seemed like they knew what they were talking about.

...so, here's my (photography) rant of the day:

I don't mind going out of my way (most of the time) to go shoot an event for a friend or perhaps, I might just happened to be shooting an event like a fashion show, and I just happened to have photos taken of them and they ask for them... I have no problems giving them my work (for free, since I'm still doing photography more or less for the experience at the moment)... BUT... what I can't stand is this stupid g'damn obsession people have with Instagram... So, what they'll do is.... I'll send them the photos, they crop it using their phone (already losing resolution), then post that cropped photo to Instagram (sometimes using some kind of lame ass filter or they think they are doing "Photoshop" like post processing with whatever phone app, yet they suck at it) and then REPOST/Re-share it to Facebook, at this point, the photo that I took looks like absolute Sometimes they'll forget to tag me or give me credit, which I'm sorta annoyed with because it was my effort for taking the photo and got no credit for it, but at the same time, I don't want people to think that I took that photo they way they see it, so if they forget to give me credit, maybe I"m better off.

So I'm heading over to the tetons and Yellowstone in about a week and a half going to stay in Jackson hole. I've been eyeing the borrow lens site at there telephoto lens. I'm contemplating between renting the dust pump or the 400 f/4 wanted a little feedback on what I should rent and maybe some suggestions from any of you guys that have been to either location on good spots. I currently have to 70-200f2.8 and canon 5d3 along with the 60d

After much discussion with the wife (and a promotion at work) I made the move from my point and shoot / camera phone into the DSLR world. I bought a Nikon D3300 and am waiting for it to be delivered. I don't plan on becoming a photographer by any means (thus the entry level model) but really just want to be able to get better pics of my daughter (soon to be daughters). I'm sure I'll practice a little with my car too

I've been reading up on the basics and plan to mostly shoot in aperture priority mode. I also plan to stick with the kit lens for now but will probably add a prime lens (Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens) before too long.

I'm looking forward to playing around with it and learning as much as possible. Once I get comfortable with it I'll probably post a pic or two for some good 'ol constructive criticism.

there are many daring people out there willing to endanger themselves for "the shot" - when I was in Detroit last weekend doing some urbex we were in a building that was fairly unstable and couple other guys and a model showed up for a shoot

I've been on a few urbex trips where we're wearing safety gear and there are some dumbasses walking around clueless taking photos of some girl in heels and lots of makeup.

Once time it was me and 3 other guys and were busted by security as we left the site, and the first thing the guy asked was "where's the girl?".

Yea I would've went with a prime 400mm since you have a 70-200 already.

That was my setup in college for sports photography.

Except the 400mm wasn't mine

Right on, mark 1 or 2? just messing around with it in the house and yard seems like the AF is pretty quick.

If the sky's are clear tonight maybe I'll try to get a moon shot now that I finally have some real focal length lol.
