Just be aware of copyright restrictions.


So true. You can't just use anyone's music and replay it on a slide show. That is the same thing as someone downloading your photo from your website and using it without your permission.

Also, if you put your shows on you tube with that music they are liable to be denied because of copyright infringement. You can find tons of music that is royalty free or usually just credit the musician, by doing a google search.

In the bottom of the viewfinder in manual mode you will see the meter mode, adjust it till the small arrow is centered.


This might not work be depending on what the cameras meter is reading. In other words if you set the exposure meter to center and then flash the scene you will be over exposed.

First off, I do. I read it twice. Once while the batteries were charging. The next was with the camera in hand and operating. Like Manglesphoto, I also use manual mode 98% of the time.

I am with you guys on Manual mode. I love it and when you get use to it, there is no better control of your camera than you.

You folks who say to line the meter up in the middle and shoot, have to consider that you are reading reflected light and the camera will make adjustments from what it reads. This of course depends on what mode you are shooting in. Spot, matrix or center weighted. If the camera is reading from the highlights it will then automatically adjust the reading to bring the highlights to middle grey. Same if it is reading the shadows, It will give you a reading to bring those to middle grey. That is why you get a photo underexposed, or overexposed even when in manual mode.

Most folks do not realize that years ago before digital, you took your shots and then took the film to the store and then you picked up your prints a few days later or in some cases, an hour later. The shots looked great. Not too many people realize that those shots were all edited by the processing machine. Now with digital, you are getting some processing by the camera, and it may not be correct. If you grew up in the darkroom you realized that you looked at your negatives to figure out how to process the final print and it some cases you may have had to print that negative 2-3 times to get a good print.

So just remember that now with digital, you have to do that processing. At times you manipulate what the camera reads and other times you have to fix the final photo in post processing. It all depends on what the maker is trying to accomplish.

I recently discovered Epson Print Layout application, developed by Epson of course and it is really an excellent "sort of print manager". I have been using Lightroom and Photoshop to do my printing for years. I've been using Epson printers for 30 years and I go back to the Epson wide plotter like inkjet printer when the files had to be rasterized with special software and it would take hours to print a 30X40. I am extremely busy until the past few weeks mostly due to the heavy rainfall we've had in Texas. I have had an Epson 3880 Pro for about 3 years and I printed maybe 10 photos in all that time. I decided to print a bunch of images instead of using a drop shipper. I calibrated my monitor and sample prints. Downloaded all my ICC profiles and downloaded all the updates and everything Epson had to offer. I wasn't really happy with the color and I was finding a lot out of gamut images and the Adobe products, while very good, didn't quite get where I wanted especially considering the 3880 Pro which is an outstanding printer. I came across the Epson Print Layout software and Wha-la! While I cannot do batch printing the results are fantastic. This is a relatively new program and it is much overlooked. I hope Epson will continue to develop it and expand the elements. Meanwhile, if you have an Epson printer you might download this application from Epson (it's free) and give it a try. I'm really glad I did.

I could not find it at Epson. Do you have a link to it?

A gov. agency 6-7 months ago put out a small blerp about this, in their findings 60 feet above the tallest structural member of your home is yours, above that it's open air space. this doesn't include antennas, chimney's, antenna towers, it means roofing or peaks on the roof


What gov't agency? That is not correct information as it applies to airspace.

This is a law we can all love. Pennsylvania will fine owners/operators of drones that are spying on people or businesses. That can be tricky to define, though. If your drone is flying over any private property, couldn't that be considered spying?


Spying could be exceptionally difficult to prove. A drone flying over property without the camera on, is that considered spying? How do they identify the owner? How do they prove an owners drone was over the property at the time of the alleged occurrence? Drones are allowed in the airspace, so flying over property is not necessarily spying.

I know in Wyoming your property line goes up 150 feet, because 20 years ago my Grandfather put three bullets into the wing of a crop duster and the Sheriff had to agree with Grandpa that the plane was legally trespassing.


That was 20 years ago. Today the FAA controls all airspace AGL. The sheriff might have agreed at that time but he could have been wrong also. Shooting a crop duster flying over property is much different than an UAS flying over property.

Well, dear boy as the op stated in PA. it is against the law to do a "flyover". There you would be violating the law. So you and your bologna sandwich would be in violation of the law.


The FAA controls all airspace. While the state can put a law in place it is mute until tested in court. Federal law preempts any state law.

Illegal in NZ to fly over private property without permission.


So do commercial airlines have to get permission then?

Drones are still being debated.
FAA says 500' minimum over agricultural land and 1,000, over residential properties with obvious exceptions like NYC etc.
83' and below is traditionally air space that is totally inviolate by anything flying over including drones. (Shotgun range? ).


Where did you find these rules? I have never heard of them.

You own from above your property to infinity! That's why their is skyscrapers.


Wrong. Skyscrapers must apply for authority to build in the air space. Anything from above ground level to infinity is controlled by the FAA. The exception to that is allowing homeowners rights up to 82 feet without authority to build.

How high above your property is it still considered your property ? Is there an altitude upper limit for drones per FAA... ? All of this will be very interesting as these become more and more prevalent.


You do not own any air above ground level. Although there is an FAA easement for homeowners to build up to 82 feet above ground level for their homes. There is also a max allowable height limit of 400 feet above ground level and a line of sight requirement.

Looks like it's time to find a State without sales tax to do business with.


Not sure what you mean. If a company is in a no sales tax state and ships to a state that they have to collect sales tax for, I am sure that they will charge the tax to the customer. Unless you are saying that you will move to a state that has no sales tax.
