Do you use a telephoto lens or are you on the floor shooting this? Like are part of a press or something getting close? I would love to shoot things like this, but I dont think we have any motocross here anymore since they got rid of our old Kemper Arena and replaced it with a Sprint Center.

I'm pretty sure he's using a telephoto lens.

Both, had a media pass so were allowed to go anywhere. Wasn't a huge lens either, just a 70-200 F/4.

Do you guys have any outdoor moto events? You have a load more space than us over there, haha.
 
I like them both but the first one especially. Is it HDR? Looks great! :good:

And I don't personally watermark my photos at all.

Perhaps a different font or make it semi-transparent? Just a thought.

If someone really wants to use your photo without permission, they can remove that watermark.


Hope you don't mind, I did a quick 30 second edit in Photoshop :)

The average viewer may not spot it, but I immediately saw that smudge in the corner of the first photo where the watermark was :) The second photo I cant tell at all from a glance though.

Oh damn that sucks :D

Yeah I'll probably look into another font later :)

What do others think about this watermark?

I personally wouldn't bother. They are distracting and people always find ways of removing them unless you have a big watermark going across the whole image, which you don't wan't.

Obviously, I spent 30 seconds total editing both photos. Here's 30 seconds on just one photo:

I have to agree, if you really don't want someone to take it easily you need a watermark on the entire image, like PROOF in big bold letters. Sometimes the logo can add to the photo if done right, and fewer people would attempt to edit it out.

I put my email address so that if someone wants to contact me to buy/use my photos they can find a contact email. Happened once already :)
 
I don't get why people get so protective with their photos. It's art, I would be pleased if people shared my photos (credit or not). And even if they claimed them as theirs, does it really matter in the end? In the end you know it's not their art, and they have no way of doing something similar or proving that it's theirs, no that it matters, you KNOW it's your art.

That's how I see it. That's not to say I don't have a watermark. I think, like Geoff said, a nice, elegant watermark adds to the picture if done right.
