Are you paranoid about your work? [Poll]
I have noticed a lot of people are rather worried about their work to be copied/used on the internet without permission so they watermark their pictures while others, equally good photographers, have no problems sharing fair resolution of their photos under Creative Common license or such.
I am not trying to judge anyone here, I totally understand why someone would not want his pictures used without previous permission however I am just trying to find out if their is a whatsoever relation between watermarking/protecting and being a pro. i.e. if most people trying to protect their work actually make a living from photography.
50% of photographers are LEFT eyed !!! [Poll Results]
Oh MY GOD, now that’s a real surprise !!!
When I think that most photographers I know here in Lebanon look at me as if I was an alien because I’m left eyed. Out of the 200 votes we got on the left eyed or right eyed poll 100 are left eyed.
Here is the full break down of the results
Share your funny story
Not exactly a poll but I would like to hear your funny stories ! You know those weird things people tend to tell you when they see you carrying your gear ?
Stuff like “Oh, so that’s your camera !! no wonder you take such great pictures”, or even “Do you use this lens to spy on your neighbors or what ?”
well both of these happened to me, let’s hear yours !
How do you name your pictures ?
This was intended to be a poll but honestly I wasn’t able to figure out the answers I would put so I will try it as a discussion.
I am interested to know how do you name your pictures ! I know for instance some people call a picture depending on the location it was taken at, others with a serial number etc…
I personally tend to give a unique name to each picture just like a child would do with a him favorite toy, I feel it is much more “personal”! Names I choose are usually out of my state of mind when I was shooting or post processing.
35% of photographers have more than 5 filters ! [Poll results]
When I asked you “how many filters do you have?” I was pretty sure the majority will fall in the “3 to 4″ range but how wrong I was !
What is interesting is the repartition of votes, if 40% of photographers have only 1 or 2 filters 35% have 5 or more and only 11% have none.
I was also surprised to read in the comments that many have filters but don’t even acutally use them
