Of course you're right, but approaching them with tact and politeness might possibly open up more doors than getting arsey and slapping them with an invoice for peanuts. They have broken the law and shouldn't be thanked, you're absolutely right, but sometimes it's best to see what you can get...

If it was me i'd forget about the £39 and try and turn the situation to my advantage. As it's promoting a tour why not drop them an email saying you noticed them using your image, thank them for the credit, and then enquire about some photo passes for the tour. Who knows where it might lead.

I'm not familiar with studio lights but with speedlights you'll be limited to the 1/250th sec sync speed of the D3. I can understand if its happening at 1/300 but under that should be fine :shrug:

Aha, my appologies. I tried 3 different search queries too before posting :exit:

I couldn't find any other threads on this so appologies if it's a repost. CLICKY

Right. My final comment in this thread. Firstly thanks to Steep, Willbaroo, Kipax and Simmotino for posting in my absence. I'm glad i'm not the only one who can see what's going on here. Secondly thanks Matty for the ban. I was struggling to see your point of view regarding Royal Mail...

From the rest of your comments it obviously takes one to know one ;) So just because we are in a so called recession and "be thankful we have a job" we should roll over and take the bullying? Grow up! YOU should be thankful you don't need a union. I was against the strikes until 3 days...

I really appreciate the feedback. The Sigma 150-500 is not great in poor light so i've had little use of it yet but i've been taking notes which i thank you for :thumbs:

Stop press. A selfish Royal Mail customer doesn't give a damn about the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Royal Mail employees because he hasn't had his new toys delivered. Sympathy registering on zero. The same dinosaur unions that Peter Mandelson tried to get to meet the TNT directors...

Good comeback, and you're absolutely right of course :) I apologise if this hasn't been answered yet. The dispute is complicated and over a range of issues stretching from pensions to working conditions to a successful modernization structure for the company. Firstly the decision to carry 3rd...

Very good :lol:

I agree with you, striking shouldn't be the way forward but unfortunately when you're faced with a management structure that relies on its workforce but isn't prepared to listen it's the only thing that brings them out of their offices and start listening. The real joke is we have to fill out a...

No, i'm just a realist who doesn't see the point of sugar coating everything. Time with family is precious. We have to work long enough to scrape by as it is without feeling the need to work extra for free just because "we should be grateful to have a job". Thats because like so many people...
