again, untrue - a model release RELEASES rights and has nothing to do with invasion of privacy. you cannot take a pic, even in a public place, and sell it without a release (except if it is newsworthy). the release states what compensation, if any, is due.

NO - commercial means commercial - anything sold or distributed -- even using the pic on a free calendar! yes, you can take her picture, but where it was taken has no effect on whether you can profit from it

bad advice all round--
== no commercial liability is REQUIRED - perhaps useful if you're risk averse
=== "permit to shoot in public space"??? no need for permits - and who would issue them in a 'public' space
== taxable income can be offset by expenses; and if result is negative, may not require any reporting

I just did a quick mental calc, having done this sort of stuff before

just now I did quick estimate of cost of puzzle (looking at what fineartamerica, Vistaprint et al charge , amt of reasonable profit based on competition then simple calculation of profit when 80% sold

with cost of $20, profit of $5 and 10 units, after you've sold 80% you'd just break even; with a profit off $100 after swelling all.

for 100 units at 80% you're again breaking even (since cost + profit is the same), with a profit of $1000 after selling all

you can't add to much to the cost/puzzle since you're competing against companies who do their own construction, and sell large numbers with small profit.

we can quibble over the numbers, but fact remains, selling from individual websites is vanishingly small unless you also spend mega$ for placement -- you'd need to sell most of your inventory before you see a profit. (and doing single units after each sale adds additional cost for your time repeating the setup)

how did she 'allow' you to take the image? did she sign a model release? (that would specify payment terms). otherwise you'll be negotiating after the fact

there is no 'normal' payment

-------------------
separate issue - how will you sell this puzzle? if you're selling it yourself, it's very difficult to be found. the cost of having a, presumably, physical puzzle leaves little margin for profit -- you have upfront sunk costs of producing the puzzles. you'd have to sell 80-90% of the puzzles you have made to start to show a profit

only necessary - not sufficient -- sneaker waves can catch you even if you're watching - see my description of one incident above - no warning from front since the danger came from shoreside

no, I wasn't in the actual punchbowl/cauldron -- instead I was on the wide beach to the north, with tide pools exposed at low tide

i was in the tide pools near devil's punch bowl about the end of low tide - a wide beach with low rocky ridges several inches above the water level - incoming waves would sometimes wet my sandaled feet. Oliver Sudden - i was in water over my waist, tumbled , and just as quickly above water again - none of the other beachcombers even noticed! i later figured out the incoming wave had come up against a 3 ft high wall some 50' BEHIND me and its return was what got me.

first, no need for ad hominem attacks - but since you have no ACTUAL response, guess name-calling's the best you can do

trump IS responsible for making climate change worse, as are all the other right wingers who refuse to accept the SCIENCE showing human caused climate change. TRUMP's unilateral decision to pull out from paris accords; his gutting of EPA, NOAH and other science agencies; his cutting of regulations for coal oil, et al, ALL place a significant part of the blame at his feet; and it's only going to get worse

prayers won't do anything - we need to get rid of the troglodyte climate deniers in govts that prevent positive actions to control the rate of climate change - the paris protocols were a decent start until trump sabotaged it by pulling out unilaterally.

HDR feature in-camera is good, but not the best -- the Nik toolkit PS-plugin has an HDR merge that's excellent - using a 5 image bracket NIK first does what the camera would do, it then gives you options for which produce more dramatic effects

file size shouldn't matter - I've done 7-8 image panoramas w no problem

(doesn't look like you were using 'reposition', the best place to start)- when you get a result like this it means ps couldn't match all your images - the btm image may have been skipped because it was tilted - check the horizon in each image, and correct if necessary; another possibility may be the lighting differences were too extreme

i went to Morocco last Feb with Wanderlust Voyages -- https://www.wanderlustvoyagestravel.com or https://www.facebook.com/wanderlustvoyagestravel/ based in Boston run by an American - Moroccan couple. excellent trip - we stayed in fantastic boutique hotels (riads) and even with a group plenty of time for photos -- they do both package and independent tours and can customize to your requests. Feel free to mention my name if you contact them

photo permits usually just involve an extra payment at the entrance - typically $1-5 for images, a bit more for video

on tours, i just take my bridge FX-1000 - excellent lens, and lets you bring in hieroglyphics and other elements high up, or on shore during the cruise. tripod of little use on a tour, as you dont have time; could find use for it if you go out alone for night. i just use a monopod braced in my camera bag

on multiple intl flights each year i've never had to take my camera out of its bag
