Re: Re[2]: I need a bigger tripod

For images with limited web resolution, only 'ripped-off' use possible is web use. Trying to use a 600X400 pixel or lower resolution image in print gives unusably-crappy hard-copy.

There are other ways to copyright protect without impairing the view of the image (embedded watermarks like Digimark, or even less-obtrusive printed copyright notices). But for complete protection slapping big copyright notices across the image is fairly ironclad, though not foolproof. (A really skilled Photoshop user could eliminate any such notice if he wanted the image badly enough, given some time.)

You were lucky. There was no seeing here in northern California at all due to clouds from a clearing storm.

Next lunar eclipse is on April 24, 2005. You might want to change your exposure near totality to capture the moon's crimson glow. And your copyright info is a little intrusive to the images. ;)<<<<<<<<

Yeah but Harrison's image with the " intrusive to the images." is far better than seeing the same picture used without compensation. Like "stolen!"

And to put a beautiful piece of photography like this up without some major "copyright intrusion" would be tantamount to being an idiot in this day and time of stealing images off the internet.

And you can be ripped off and your material used without you even knowing it's been done! Unless you happen to look at the multi-million websites and magazines and wherever else photography is used in this day and age..

Stick with it Harrison mon ami!
