nice shots, but why did you put such huge copyright stamps on your pictures? how much money one can make from 600x373 pixels images?

[LEC_D30]

It is not because of the money, it is because of unauthorized distribution. This is specially a concern to me when posting pictures of people or brands. Some times, this could be very sensitive...

I appreciate your feedback.


Thanks,

I have to wonder how long Champs cars is going to last, most of those cars are running with very little sponsorship. Looks like a series that's near dead especially if sponsors appear to be hard to find.

I could understand your concern if you photos were large but you've made the quite small. Even the pros like RMF don't put huge watermarks on the images, maybe you should make them smaller, it detracts from theimage and really cuts down the quality in my opinion.

[LEC_D30]

What happened is that I have an action to resize the pictures and it was applied to the high resolution pics that already had the copyright sign on it.

I am not very concerned with cars pics as with people.

I am not a pro in any way. Just do this as a hobby. Hopefully there is a day I can really become a pro, but obviously, there is a long way for that...

My respects to RFM Sports...he is a Pro...

As someone who gets paid for most of what he shoots and values his own copyright, I would just like to say I think going that far is too much. Either post images people can look at and appreciate or don't put them on the web at all.

I would have to agree with what the other members have posted about the Copyright logos on your images.

Oops sorry, had to wipe the drool off my keyboard!
:lol:

Wow, those are nice!!! Who said the 300D is no good for sports shots.
Great job!

I think the copyright is kewl, but maybe make it a little more transparent.

[LEC_D30]

Hope this is better...

:shock: nice... any chance you'll be able to take pix of F1 racing?

[LEC_D30]

What color is on that car?

[ron chappel]

Maybe i got the later posted galleries(?) but i hardly noticed the watermarks!
By the way,were most these done with the 75-300 lens?

[Andy_T]

Nice pictures ...

Couldn't help but notice that you shot more girls than racecars ... not a bad idea, either :lol:

Best regards,
Andy

Actually I shot more cars than girls. I still need to upload them to my site.

The pictures were taken mostly with the Sigma 70-300 APO Macro Super II.

This lens is very sharp when combined with good light.
