I really should get imaginative with user names.... gordonscotty

I don't understand that statement... I am much more likely to get the model to pay me for the shoot as they are going to get some great photos for their portfolio. The exception is if I'm getting paid for the shoot, in which case I would pay the model accordingly; but that is not normal TFCD.

I have had very little trouble with TFCD models; in fact they have been great. I do filter out the ones that are not serious about being models,thus leaving people who want to work with me because of the mutual value to portfolios.

You appear to be making assumptions about things without basing them on legal fact. Model releases are not required in the UK, but I get them signed to make it clear to the model where they stand and also the stock agencies ask for them which is their prerogative. Just because someone in a...

Sorry, but this not true, the law intervenes if the images are indecent and nude, topless or in her underwear does not in itself constitute that.

Therein lies the dilemma.... I did a quick search on the Kate Moss and Sally Mann photos and although they show a lot of skin, they are not done in a sexually provocative way which would make them indecent in my understanding of the guidelines.... but I would not want to be the photographer who...

This statement is wrong, since 2003 the definition of a child was raised from 16 to 18 for photos. The problem with photographing under 18's is the definition of "Indecent"... this is of course easy to see when the photos are perverted, but not so clear as you reach the margins around...

Not sure about the battery... but you got a bargain, Mazumamobile are paying at least £123 at the moment for them

I have a 17-50mm VC Tamron and and find it very sharp and it's not plasticky.

To stop this, when you re-size in CS4 un-check the "Resample image" box on the Image size menu. DPI is only relevant when printing and if you import the RAW file in CS4 then just change the DPI import value at the bottom of the import page.

Jeepers... don't start listening to seriously to people on here, some have little knowledge of business or many morals and chirp up like their opinion rules the photographic world. I would let them have them with a mention back to you and when accepting offer help to them in the future if they...

I clean mine when it needs it. On my last camera that was once in 7 years after foolishly changing the lens on a windy day on the beach. Current camera is untouched after a year.

Because the sensor has better ISO performance on the D90.
