I see photographers saying they make passive income by selling prints to guests on online galleries, but I don't understand how. I assume photographs are available to download by anyone who has access to the gallery, and being so, why wouldn't a guest take the files to a print shop (or even print them at home) and get the physical image way cheaper. Most customers/guests are not worried about print quality, so it's something they can get done basically anywhere.

The only possibility I can think of is watermarking the images and having people pay to remove and download/print, but that seems very tacky and outdated.

Also, I know lots of people use Pic-Time because of the arrangements they have with local print shops. In my country (Portugal) they only work with one shop and it's on the pricier side, so I'm wondering how are people outside big markets like the US are handling this part of the business.

Anyone has an interpretation of this ELUCID line from Pommelhorse? It has always puzzled me.

Ontem bati num carro que estava estacionado na zona da senhora da hora. Trata-se de um Ford Preto. Não tinha comigo papel nem caneta para deixar o aviso no vidro, esperei um bocado para ver se alguém aparecia, perguntei na casa à frente da qual o carro estava estacionado se alguém sabia de quem era. Não sabiam.

Fui a minha casa buscar papel e caneta e quando voltei, 15 min depois, o carro já não estava lá. Fotografei a matrícula e hoje através desse dado consegui ter acesso ao número de telemóvel do proprietário, mas o telemóvel está desligado e o número não está registado no whats’app.

Na eventualidade do dono estar a ler isto, por favor envie-me uma mensagem por aqui :)

I'm working with a S5ii and got an upcoming job where I'll be shooting non-moving objects on a tripod. My first thought was to use High Resolution Mode where the camera basically takes several shots of the same scene and merges them.

It's a pretty cool feature, but I know it can backfire if used with lenses that are not sharp enough to render that much resolution/color depth. My question is, how good does a lens have to be? Ideally I'd have a premium lens to do the comparison, but I don't so I was looking for opinions of anyone who has more experience working with high resolution sensors.

Here's a list of my most used lenses:

- Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L (first generation)
- Canon 50mm f/1.8 IS USM
- Samyang 14mm f/2.8
- Canon FD 35-105mm f/3.5 Macro

These are all adapted with a Sigma MC-21 adapter.

So I started do delve a bit into DCTL's and went ahead with some suggestions mentioned in this sub. One of the packages I've installed was Tatcher Freeman's, the others being PixelTools free DCTLs and OpenDisplayTransform.

All of a sudden I have a list of 150+ DCTLs and I'm feeling completely lost. So I want to ask which Tatcher Freeman's resource do you really end up using. This is by far the largest package. Do you recommend installing the whole rhing as I did? I was mostly thinking about relying on DCTLs to have better tools for subtractive saturation, CST, and utility DCTLs for false color/middle gray.

I'm thinking about purchasing Juan Melara's FilmUnlimited or Filmbox Looks soon, so I'm even discarding film emulation DCTL's, tho I installed Henry Bobeck's Technicolor Pallette out of curiosity.
