I set the camera, all she did was press the shutter.

Most likely I will just do the shots over.

I'm pretty sure I remember Brooke Shaden saying she stopped someone and asked them to fire off her camera for a shot that she set up of herself. I don't think she gave that person credit. Just sayin'.

yes, shot with my camera. Didn't think of the exif data.

I think the problem is more than technical. She showed her husband the shots edited by me. Then he says "Wow, you guys did a great job!". Which in turn leads me to believe she wasn't so honest with him.

My father is a musician. If he writes a song but hands his guitar to someone else to play it, the song is still his. Same thing.

But you raise a good point about re-shooting. They were shot at the cape which is not where I am from. Technically, if a client wanted that same location I couldn't provide it, but I could provide a very similar one.

I could do that, but that doesn't answer my question.

my tripod is broken and needs to be replaced, but honestly, other than for shots of myself it has never been used. I always hand hold my camera because I'm usually chasing kids. I am on-location and mostly outside. Tripods are rarely necessary for that.

She knows that I want to head in a new direction with my business. At the time I was hoping to get shots that maybe I could use because I needed examples, whether or not that was entirely clear, I don't know. We were more out shooting for fun. It turns out that I like them and want to use them. I thought rather than showing the photos of her (because I took some of her too) that I would just use my own considering the idea was mine and I basically did all the directing, I just didn't press the shutter. I do want to use some of her too because they also came out right along the lines of what I was going for.

I have a photography business and these photos are similar to the direction that I want to head in. This is why I want to use them.

I did a shoot with my friend over the weekend. I set up the shot (of myself) and the settings and handed her the camera. All she had to do was focus and hit the shutter (I don't have a reliable tripod right now). The tricky part is I really like them and want to use them in my business. But, who gets credit for it? I had the idea and set it up, but she pressed the shutter.

I have a business, she's a hobbiest and really has no interest in a business. I feel strange putting my name on them (I would definitely run it by her first anyway) but I'm wondering technically who should be credited.

Any ideas?

some cameras don't have automatic mode, so then what.....you're screwed?

I would never tell someone to flip it into auto and let the camera make the decisions. Good for you to be determined to learn manual and continue to shoot that way!

I have a good Australian friend that said if you don't have private insurance in addition to the government insurance, you're pretty much screwed and stuck on a waiting list. He said you basically have to have private insurance to get what you need and within a reasonable time frame.

I almost got a certificate in medical coding a few years back when I needed a part time thing. So glad I didn't because Obamacare just increased the number of codes from 18,000 to 68,000. Not sure how things are going to be so much more 'efficient' under this plan. Sounds like a big A** increase in overhead if you ask me.

ugh.....good to know

a slight RGB s-curve can help to make an image pop.

Honestly, I would consider doing these for free since you are not a registered business or a pro. If they want to give you a gift card or whatnot for your time, then great, but don't expect it.

However, I would let them know if they want prints and order through you, that you will have to charge them whatever your lab charges plus shipping.

now there's an interesting concept.......

:thumbup:

I don't know a single professional photographer who would ever consider printing at CVS.

I would definitely demand a refund and have them re-done by a real professional.
