Photo Farming

saka daghan naai camera diri... It has come to a point na mao ni ang trip sa mga companies ron.. mao ni ilang "new hype"

post your opinions & comments about this...

my two cents on this..

advantage for newbies, it's a chance to expose their work and maybe a breakthrough?

pero pila ra man pud ang prize ihatag then the company? they can earn sooooo much more.. too bad for those who did not win then ila pictures gi gamit without compensation.. <-- i think radiostar was talking about this.. kasabot na ko..

on the company point of view it's cheap ma sabot man pud kai lisod man ang panahon..

conclusion:
read the fine print... camera stuff are not cheap.. then kita ra gi ilad to do their dirty works.. if naai chance na dili ta maka compensate ayaw nalng..

update: DON'T GIVE YOUR COPYRIGHT!!! pag bantay ra mo..

[radiostar]

well na.a may mga tao pud na ganahan e hatag ilang copyrights to other companies... feeling nila ang satisfaction kay ma compensate og ma print ra ilang works og billboard,, ppffffttt shame to the company, shame to the person who gaved his artwork.

so wala tay mahems kung mo insist jud sila og hatag

let me put this issue to rest.

I'm sure you're talking about the iClick contest. Have you read the new conditions? it says

" * Photos tendered are subject to Dreamtech exclusive right to use, without obligation to notify and/or explain reasons, including possible reproduction.
* In addition, all entrants to the contest grant (by their entry) an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to Dreamtech and their licensees, to use, reproduce, edit, display, transmit, prepare derivative works of, modify, publish, and otherwise make use of the Entry in any and all media, whether now known or hereinafter created--throughout the world and for any purpose--without compensation to you of any kind."

You are not giving up your copyright.

You are only giving them license to exclusively use the images for eternity without compensation.

While you cannot use it for any other purpose, other than personal (a.k.a. portfolio) have you ever thought where your images have usually ended up? flickr? istorya? because for sure, you can't sell it in any stock photography site since it will bear trademakrs registered to Apple.

radiostar, your images have ended up in a local free magazine with editorial box credits. did they pay you for that? i've worked with them and i'm sure you were not compensated for it. Even so, people don't even know which pictures you took since it is part of a mish-mash of other photos, and why do you do it? so that your photos will be published. Right? so does that mean...."Shame on you too?"

My point is, read the rules properly and know your rights before even shouting boycott or whatever explicits. Most of these contests use legal jargons that need clarification, learn to ask before even reacting.

Another point to keep in mind is to know how things will work to your advantage. For new photographers, it is hard to break into the industry. Opportunities to be able to have your work possibly displayed in public is a rare opportunity, I suggest that you grab it. the contest will come and go but it becomes eternally part of your portfolio, which people and prospective clients will look at sooner or later.

very well said pnioze...it is such an oppurtunity if mapilian man gani ang imo photo for publish,,, well, yeah, i agree with pchan that gears are not cheap,,( but bear this in mind), this is our "hobby", not "profession"...and no one ever asked us to spend that amount of cash kundi sa ato.a rang satisfaction, so dili nalng na nato huna-hunaon ang gasto sa atong toys since we love it so much...

advantage for us newbies...so ayaw lang e criticize ang mga in-ani nga oppurtunities.. makasabot ra mo in the long run....soon,it pays off

@ radiostar...shame on me if i shared some of my artworks to others...

anyway,lain2x gyud ug prinsipyo ang mga artists...so respect lang ta sa uban...
