-= 70D owners unite! Post up pics and discuss!

Hello all,

I purchased the 70D last Friday. Upgraded from the D60 which was purchased in 2002. Prior to that I had a Canon elan and started out with a Yashika.

So far I just have the 18-135mm that came with the kit but I have the 55-250 and the 100mm macro on order.

Really enjoying the 70D so far!

Here is a photo of my son last Friday and one taken in the back yard this evening.

While I lament that I cannot post photos of my son online (by mutual agreement with his mother/my better half on the off chance someone uses his image in a stock photo and we have no control over it),

I realize and agree that your posting of your son's picture would significantly raise the possibility that someone might use the image in a manner not of your choosing. But, you do realize that all of us (at least in the states) can have our pictures taken in public at any time and we would have no control over the use of those images unless they were used for specific "commercial purposes", yes?

As a parent, and now as a grandparent, I guess I really don't understand this paranoia. (Much like the paranoia of posting a photo of one's car with the license plate pixelated "for safety").

Specifically what could a ne'er-do-well do with an image of a child (or other) that would result in tangible risk or discomfort?

Agree, but i do understand that some photo's are private and special and you are
vulnerable on the net for any comments or misbehave by others, on forums or
other social media things get out of hand quite easily . So i do respect hokiealumnus
decision .

Yes, Kutna Hora - Sedlec, how do you know?

I thought I recognized it - I was there a few years ago. Unfortunately all I had then was a cheap P&S camera that could not handle low light.

Still not sure if I liked it or not.

Evelakes got one part of it and to answer your first question, yes, I know that. Consider it mitigation of risk. We don't want images of him in public to be used for anything at all. What someone could do is take his image and use it as a stock photo or promoting a product. Even if we didn't mind the product, we don't want his image out there to be used as that.

I mean, let's face it, the chances of it are extremely slight to nil, especially considering I'm just plain not that good! I probably wouldn't mind being able to post photos of him in public, but to use two cliches: Pick your battles. (I simply don't care enough to argue in favor of posting his photo in public.) ..and... Happy wife, happy life!

Words i have always tried to live by.

Currently I have a T3 as I needed something to get started in digital photography. Purchased december and I'm already looking at upgrading the body. Which is why I'm looking at the 70d. Not a bad price point. The photos look amazing guys/gals! Might have to save up for this body!

I came from a T3 and had it about as long as you before getting the 70D. It's providence I tell you!

its helped me a lot

@Palad1n: The black and white helps the photo a lot..although I still find it a little macabre. Nice timing on the bird!

@Burnet44: Nice action photos you've made! I like the first portrait the best!

Because it's dull weather over here
