COOL!

So this just happened... earlier today I took a couple of photos of my friend’s Realtor team for her website and ads in the local paper. I haven’t processed any of the photos yet, they’re still on the card. Someone from her office/website just posted a photo on Facebook that my friend’s daughter must have taken with her cell phone from behind and to the side of where I was standing with a caption about “team photos today thanks to photographer Sharon Cat...”. they tried to tag me in the photo but my profile is set up for me to have to approve any tags. These cell phone photos are terrible quality and they were taken before I rearranged them into a good group pose and corrected their stance for the light - they’re truly awful looking. Because you can’t see me in the photo, it doesn’t appear to be a “behind the scenes” type of look so the assumption will be that I took them and that that is the team photo. Now I’m not a pro and don’t care all that much about future business since that’s not my goal but I wouldn’t want anyone to think I took those photos. I do sometimes volunteer my time and efforts for local events, political ads, high school stuff for my daughter... I commented “I didn’t take those”.

Thoughts? Should I ask her to take them down or to remove my name? It’s awkward.

It's nothing to do with whether you got paid or anything else. It's your work, and this is making it appear as though the quality of your work is sub-par. Awkward or not, I would definitely ask the person to remove the images; explain why, but have them removed. You don't even have to say that they're bad, simply say that they're not reflective of your work, and people who see the post will form an incorrect impression about your work.

I almost had a seizure looking at it

I must be mental or something. I sold the majority of my Fujifilm gear today to fund a new Fuji camera purchase. I was kind of depressed letting it go. Now I just own the 35 1.4, 18-55, 55-200 and the XT2. I feel strange, like my cat died or something.

When people have awkward conversations at work, I wish they'd close their door. Because, I'm at the cube right outside... So, when person A thinks that something was a bait and switch, and person B says that's not his problem, and then A says that B should check with people C, because they have the same problem, and then awkward pauses ensue, person me feels involved and awkward, as well.

I do not miss being in a cubicle farm! The loud talkers, the speakerphone aholes, the shitty music dj's, the smelly lunch in the cube eaters and my personal favorite...the nothing better to do chit chatters who spoiled the shows that I hadn't had time to watch yet!

Or the lactose intolerant guy eating icecream sandwich's and cheese sticks....

Going medium format?

We have a 2:00 crew here. Every day at 2, a group of like 5-6 guys are in the kitchen. I have to avoid the kitchen during this timeframe, otherwise I feel like an outsider.

and now I have to go find this super offensive colorful dog photo that I somehow missed

What did you think?

Somewhat over 6 hours today. Averaged a little over 5 for three days so far.
All the HEAVY boxes of floor tiles I moved a while back had to be moved again.
Gonna live better through chemistry when I get home. Did I mention I got a new battery yesterday? It started this morning peachy keen.

I am. It just makes more sense IMO. I was considering other options, like the XT3. However, I am just such a slow, methodical shooter. I really think the XT2 & XP2 are too fast and I have to really turn everything off when I use it. I really do not care for auto focus, I guess I'm stupid, as one lady photog told me. She literally said that. She asked what I was doing when I was turn the focus ring, I said manual focusing. She said, are you stupid or something?

Nice! Which model are you going for? They intrigue me so much, but I don't have the budget for them. It did look like they had some amazing sales on body/lens combos a couple weeks back.

Do you. Do what makes you happy. If you like manual focus, do manual focus. If you like film, do film. If you like digital, do digital.

I'd rather have 5 great photographs after a days worth of shooting (heck, make that 1, LOL) than 100 subpar photographs.

Funny story (related to manual focus). On another forum, there was a member who posted a question about why his shots weren't clear with his brand new equipment that cost him lots of money; he was disappointed. Well, it turned out that he was shooting manual focus, handheld at telephoto focal lengths, of moving animals, from a boat floating down a river. In that case, manual focus probably wasn't the best. LOL.

. I sold the majority of my Fujifilm gear today

The way you sell off equipment least you don't have to worry about it being obsolete LOL

What did you think?

I liked it. From the critique I expected something much crazier. It looks like a Pixma filter which I think are fun.

OMG like reliving high school all over again.

That surprised me I figured you would jump to medium format film.
