Joe Posted September 15, 2010 Share #1001 Posted September 15, 2010 I quit using Facebook. Terrible f**king site. Only thing that's redeeming about it is that the trolley museum posts photos and news on their page; luckily I can still access it without an account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitStop Posted September 15, 2010 Share #1004 Posted September 15, 2010 i find that now taking photographs is just a pain in the A** at times now, and also every time ive taken a photo recently i get a stare or asked " hey what are you doing" is our hobby really that big of a deal ? also seeing that one of my photos have been stolen and my watermark cropped it really puts a down on things.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care for "hobby-racists" these days. It's a big deal to me, let it be "silly and stupid" to them. It's not illegal and that's that. I'd stand up for my rights as a photographer if I were you. And lately I got my photos stolen and my mark cropped by someone on Facebook and now I use a different mark. It still has my name in the corner but I also put a translucent "©mp" in a random section of the pic. A lot like the way Trevor stamps "ttmg" in a random section of his pics. Harder to crop now!:cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder to crop now!:cool: This is kinda why I put my at the top. Sure, it might still be cropped out, but at least it isn't as easy as someone cropping the bottom of the pic. Also I think now on some of my pics, I'm going to add a secondary copyright that blends into the background. That way even if the original at the top is cut out, I'll still have a backup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitStop Posted September 16, 2010 Share #1010 Posted September 16, 2010 ive realized using fotopic.net is a good website host because it wont allow you to save a picture which prevents people from saving it to their computer B) of course if u wanna save my pic just tell me and ill send u the non © version B) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buswizard Posted September 16, 2010 Share #1011 Posted September 16, 2010 I use PhotoFiltre to both edit my pics, and to add that backup mark. I use Picture Shark to add the mark in the bottom right corner. Try cropping this one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Julio Posted September 16, 2010 Share #1013 Posted September 16, 2010 Adding transparent watermarks is just tacky and unappealing. I rather someone "steal" my photo than damaging the artistic composition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than e-mails i get about alerts, I hardly use FB either. I don't even post anything there anyway. I remember around this time last year I took a two-month break from facebook and went completely M.I.A. Since a lot of my fb friends were from my old high school, they were all wondering where I went because I was heavily addicted to it (I only spoke to three people from my old hs during my hiatus, although one random person thought I died :eek:). I came back on in November. I'd say my break helped my addiction somewhat. Now if I want to take a break I won't log on for a few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted September 16, 2010 Share #1018 Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) NYC is under a tornado watch. It's so bad that they're not allowing anyone to leave the CUNY Law campus. Update: Some trees fell on cars parked on Main Street. The front exit is closed. Edited September 16, 2010 by Forest Glen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous85 Posted September 16, 2010 Share #1019 Posted September 16, 2010 WHOA!!! Isaw a funnel cloud and trees were bending then it started pouring like crazy. The Lightning was insane. @ForestGlen: Glad I had to do something important to and I missed my last class, they probably would've tried to hold me too. I'm not being held hostage lol. I'm not surprised trees over there are down, those humongous Main st trees. I used to go to school over there. It was a Tornado Warning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For half a week I stopped calling my friends and they were like Damn mike you alive ? @RR4567 maybe you got me that time BUT I AM NOT letting my photos get stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: And what you did kinda defeat the purpose of the pic because I prefer to get the WHOLE vehicle in my pics when able.

Forest Glen Posted September 17, 2010 Share #1021 Posted September 17, 2010 School is canceled tomorrow due to the damage to the campus. In an ironic twist, I actually looked forward to going to school (it's 65% female. You can do the math). All of my textbooks are in my locker so tomorrow is basically a wasted day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main addiction are my ipod online games that I need the wifi for. If I can't get a signal, it's like a withdrawal for me. Everything else internet wise [ever since my Florida trip], I can wait and take my time with. Forums like these, I visit more often than my FB account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, well it is kinda nice to see your [in general] work in the public domain. I'm pretty happy anytime someone posts a pic of mine from NYC subway.org. Chalk it up to vanity, but I like the attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
