If its in a public place it's not illegal. Also it isn't illegal to take photos of children in a public place. It's a widely misinformed fact. I wouldn't worry about it.

In all fairness it's not much different to Facebook. If you read the T&C it states that they basically own your photo when you upload it.

Just wanted to get a good thread about off camera flash techniques going. Take a look at this thread http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=380180

I just got my first off camera flash rig set up. I'm using a Canon 580exii speedlight and a 40'' brolly. What do you guys think? And what lighting rig should I get next to supplement this one?

As crazy as it is look at 'Terry World'. Terry Richardson is one of the best photographers for turning the world of photography on its head. He shoots a very distinctive style which translates very well to fashion. Check him out www.terrysdiary.com

I'd only go for the 1D if you shot sports or wildlife. Love the 5d mark ii. Maybe sell the 7d for a second 5d! That would be sweet.

Not everyday, it's just the size of a DSLR that makes them a little to much carry constantly. I really want a decent compact with interchangeable lenses (I forget what they call them now) like the olympus pen.

50mm or an 85mm for full frame. You just can't beat them for street photography.

I use Wordpress templates. They're easy to use and you can customise them on the backend. Check out Wordpress.org and themeforest.net

I'd go for a mars volta gig. My favourite band, I'd love to shoot them on tour, behind the scenes, in stage. Would be amazing!

Thanks a lot for the advice. I may get a softbox after so I can do some direct comparisons.

What preference do most people have regarding softbox and umbrella reflectors? I've always wondered what the noticeable differences are between the two, results wise.

Is the Olympus pen any good? It looks tempting, however no one has mentioned it in this thread so that would lead to believe It's not too hot.
