I sent an inquiry to the copyright office for information,along with a photograph for them to examine.
I hope they don’t tell me to consult with a copyright lawyer because that would mean that the issue is pretty complex and I was hoping it
would be easier to resolve.You know, I think I am just going to send a photograph of the pottery to the copyright office and see what they have to say about the issue. It will help me to have that information for future projects.
James,
Yep. I was hoping (maybe dreaming) that once they introduce the mirrorless that some people will sell off their old full frames like the Canon 5D, etc., and there will be more to choose from.
I always feel that when I am trying something new that I should purchase on the low end because I am likely to abuse the equipment more since I’m just learning to use it. Plus, it’s gentler on the budget.
I’ve bought some refurbished gear and never had a problem. I did read once that most refurbished electronics usually had minor problems that are easily fixed and then they are very thoroughly inspected after they fix the problem. Most new cameras coming off of an assembly line are not as thoroughly inspected as a refurbished camera is so they might have a defect and slip through. I’m starting to believe that because I have had some trouble after purchasing some new electronics like phones but never a problem with refurbished purchases.
Yes, I might just have to take the photograph and hang it for my own pleasure! IT’s a shame because it is very striking.
I was wondering about this issue because I stumble across a lot of interesting vintage items and some are very unique so I’m wondering if their unique design was copyrighted. I have a very uniquely shaped vase but it is not signed and was produced by a major glassware/home design maker so I’m thinking it is not copyrighted.David,
For my crop sensor camera I already own a wide angle lens, a zoom lens, the kit lens, and the nifty fifty prime lens.
I’ve also invested in reflectors, a light meter, two floor lamps, a white balance card, gels, etc.
My favorite lens to use is the “nifty fifty” prime lens.Canon was my first SLR camera. I owned a Canon that used film (mostly shooting black and white photography) before moving on to my current digital Canon. I will be shooting black and white and color evenly now. I love Canon and am loyal to the brand.
I’ve complete several courses in product and studio photography so I’m pretty well versed in what is needed
in terms of lighting and other elements.I intend to mostly photograph objects that aren’t moving and I will be using natural light. No flash.
What I intend to photograph: flowers, vintage items, vases, pottery, etc.I know that some photographers use Lensbaby to photograph flowers but I’d rather invest in a full frame
camera and a good standard lens.Ezra, Wow. Thank you for this very useful information. I wish I had known about that Canon price watch site when I was purchasing all of my lenses for my crop sensor Canon DSLR camera. That is priceless information and I might add this forum has been more helpful than a paid membership photography club’s forum.
I don’t intend to chuck my crop sensor. I will probably use it for road trips and photographing landscapes. But, I plan on doing more studio work. I want to create photographs to hang in my apartment and also to sell on canvas or as metal prints. I intend to invest more in lenses than the body but I would like a full frame for that purpose.
I did consider mirrorless but since it will be for studio work I don’t care about the weight and size so much.
I think I am leaning towards purchasing an older Mark 5 or 4 as you suggested or maybe going to Canon’s site for a refurbished camera. I once bought a refurbished camera and it was fine as were the refurbished lenses I’ve purchased at times.I read that since refurbished are inspected so closely when fixed that sometimes they are less risky than a regular purchase.
