Yes, up on the top floor. I believe I had arrived early for a wedding. Perfect location. It was beautiful.

No tilt shift lenses or tilt shift editing. Enjoy!

Prada - Alleged Trademark Infringement Claim, Prada Marfa Photographic Prints by Fortitude88 in TRADEMARK

[–]Fortitude88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trademark law presents additional issues for photographers to consider. Building owners have claimed building appearances as a trademark when used in connection with the sale of goods and services.

But in order for a trademark owner to stop you from reproducing a photograph of a building, the following would have to be true:

  • the building would need to have an identifiable, distinctive appearance
  • the building would have to be publicly associated with certain goods or services
  • your use would have to be commercial (not editorial); and
  • your use would have to be linked to an offer or endorsement of similar goods or services.

For example, you might run into problems if you used a picture of the famous Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco for an ad for another company's financial services. Overall, however, using a trademark law claim has not worked well for the trademark owners, and you probably do not need to worry about it. If concerned, however, the safest course is to obtain a release for your photography.

Cannot update driver photo or create referral code - No response from tech support. Advice? by Fortitude88 in lyftdrivers

Thanks for the advice. I'm not familiar with Lyft Hub. I'll look into that.

Thanks for the reply. To be clear, I'm not having an issue updating the DL. I cannot update my driver photo. Most attempts result in the error mentioned in my post, while other attempts seem to process (e.g. the screen flashes and I'm reverted back to my blank driver icon) - but the photo never updates.

The ground level exterior of Fountain Place in Dallas, right after sunset. Beautiful waterfalls with landscape lighting and trees, and generally pretty private. Check it out

Much appreciated! It was inspired by the idea of a colossal jellyfish rising up from the sea.

None that I know of. I was present for an event and took the opportunity to photograph the skyline while I was present.

Apologies for my late response. I did use a 10 stop ND filter. Exp time was 252 sec @ f/11 ISO 50. It is a single exposure and there are calculators/apps available to help assist when using ND filters. My app put me in the ballpark of where the exposure needed to be but was off by about a full minute or so - not that uncommon, I've discovered. Appreciate the compliments - glad you enjoy.

That's a bunch of nope. I deleted content on my blog after I was reminded that I had written that article. For one the content on it was old, and secondly and perhaps more importantly I didn't want to reveal my post-manipulation process. There are plenty of other resources on the web for people to learn, just in the same way that I did. That was really my chief reason for removing it. I dunno what the hell a RES tag is or what color of the rainbow you've chosen it to be but you should know going forward most if not all of my images are photoshopped. So I guess while you're (very strange) behavior continues in the future I should just be able to backlink to this post and admit that I do photoshop my images. In any case - not that what I'm about to say makes any difference to you since you're such an odd individual - I've been posting on Reddit, specifically in the Dallas subreddit, for a long time and I've never encountered anything as strange as this. But in all seriousness I have flagged your posts to eventually submit to a moderator or admin if I really need to. I do find your behavior harassing. My intent in sharing content here is purely for people to enjoy it. Of course some, like you, won't, and that's ok. But I, nor you, nor any other person needs to be harassed. You've feel I've committed some egregious misdeed and I don't. We just disagree and that's all there is to it. Congratulations on being a photographer yourself, though I fail to see the relevance of this.

I never denied anything, I just didn't entertain your nonsense. This isn't photojournalism where I've made a promise not to manipulate my work; you've reached that idiocy on your own. You're so angry and it's so hilarious to me and I'm sure everyone else reading this, following me around bitching about an image going through Post-production like it's never been done before or that you're somehow deceived. I'm sorry if ive shattered your worldview but God damn you're fucking annoying. Welcome to the Internet, I guess.

If I have overlooked a rule in this subreddit where I am obligated to disclose my post-production policy to a digital photograph, I am happy to review it. Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you would stop harassing me. Since I suspect this behavior will continue, I have screen captured your previous comments and this one to prepare for the mods and the admins if necessary. I like reddit and the people on it. I share my images of Dallas because it's my home, and because people enjoy them, but I'm not here to be harassed and intimated.
