oh...i think it is my fault too? first was Togu and now is you...
told u already rite....u will want to BUY BUY BUY one too after you have touched it...
btw...dun think abt D60 already...get 10D!
and we mustn't forget to thank the Ministry of Home Affairs for the drinks too....
speaking of the volunteering/official photographers thing... actually i'm still in the blue, Dagger has a lot of knowledge about it. my queries is just that since we are erm... the "official volunteers", with no monetary terms, no papers signed, who really has the copyright?...
wai, you mean, EOS-1Ds right?

Haha... it was not mentioned clearly in the first place mah... Initially, it was even said that the organiser may give photo credits, which I try to highlight that photo credits are not part of our bargaining tools.... it is our right... ;pOriginally posted by Zplus

Even though many of us are there for different reasons; to take photos of babes, to gain experience in event coverage, to get to know fellow CSers etc, we must not forget that the photos are ours and we are giving them a copy just out of our good will...
I do not think this is out of respect to the organiser... Just do not anyhow use them...
Anyway, I'm just want to voice it out only. Most importantly, you guys have a field time today right? Who cares what I say. Hee..

Are the CS photographers considered the official photographers for Surf & Sweat?
If I did not remember wrongly, sehsuan mentioned that this is a volenteering effort. It was even mentioned that they are not official invited (have to pay for entry fee etc...).
The CS photographers are doing Sports Club a favour, on a goodwill basis. The time they spent, the batteies they exhausted, the equipment they used, the rights they owned, the nose that bled
Since this is just a case of helping out, the photographer should be able to use the images in whatever he/she deems fit (except in situation where it degrades the subject etc..) But of course the problem of leechers and lurkers are very true and real.
I do not consider this as officially covering the event. What I am concerned is if we are prepared not to demand for photo credits and due-recognition, we photographers would one day be exploited.
The above are solely my point of view. If you do not agree with me, feel free to present yours, but do not flame me.... :rbounce:
Peace.
Why don't you start your own thread to discuss about this matter? No offense.
Whether paid or non-paid jobs, photographers who are officially "invited" by sehsuan are considered official photographers TO the event organizer, names of photographers & pics are submitted to them afterall. For those who went on their own, feel free to post, not a problem (NOT my problem). Anyway, it's a public place.
For those on "official duty", it's common sense, post if you want... Hmm.. cos I don't care, I'm still the bo chap guy.
Just feel that you have to be responsible and professional even if you are shooting an unpaid assignment OFFICIALLY.
(Just voicing my views to you

point noted, karab. thanks.
i'll see if i can be the link btw ntu sports events and clubsnap, and will limit to only shooters per event depending on the scale of the event accordingly. i think most of us had a good time practicing shooting in a various mix of lighting conditions from the morning onwards...
once again, thanks for your input
If you need help for photo event coverage of activities held by NTU clubs and societies, you can always seek the Photo-Videographic Society for the job (sorry, a bit the advert for my society). We have a few Clubsnappers here too. Eg. me myself, afiend, Mr Fish, Bean, etc.
As for the photo credit thingy, i feel that the photographers SHOULD be credited for the photos they provided if they volunteered for the job. It's just plain courtesy.
Official photographers are appointed by the organizers directly. Thus I don't consider the Clubsnappers who were there as "official" photographers for Surf & Sweat. They are mainly there for the fun, and not doing a job, which is event coverage. They are there on their own free will and it's nice to see them offer free photos to the Surf & Sweat Committee and participants.
