GeekShot Exclusive Photo Series Vol. 2 (Week 32)

About This Photo

Less than half of the people on stage at the end of the Fox panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2015.

Today we’re going to talk about copyright.

It’s the part of the law that helps and protects photographers and the photos they create. It’s also the thing the internet mostly tries to ignore, either willfully or through ignorance.

In the last few weeks Beth and I have had online run-ins with a rash of people stealing our photos. They posted them on Instagram, or tumblr, or who knows where else. We sent DMCA takedowns and commented on their posts informing them of such. What was the most common response? It was either “I just found it on the internet somewhere” or anger that we would dare call them out on taking our photos. They also claimed they were doing no harm and that they “always credit”. We of course saw no credit, except the one instance someone credited the person who stole it from us before them. Such is the way of the internet today. I could go on for hours and many words about the idiocy we came across dealing with these people. But I won’t.

This leads me to the main point of this post today – I’d rather our audience here on the blog learn something rather than hear me rant. So here goes.

EDITORIAL: The San Diego Comic-Con General Hotel Sale Failed On Every Level – And Why That’s Not Acceptable

For most (as some are still waiting on e-mails), the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con General Hotel Sale is finally over. Thousands of attendees are left to fend for themselves outside the system or wait for released rooms to open on April 8, and thousands now have a place to sleep. As for me, I got my #1 downtown pick.

And I don’t feel good about it. At all.

Because no matter which way you slice it, the entire general housing sale this year was not only a disaster, but a critical failure, on every single level.

About This Photo

Kristin Kreuk at the Women Kick Ass panel at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con.

Apparently Kristin was very concerned about my camera at this point in the panel. Or was she?

Today we’re going to talk about how to get photos where it looks like a panel guest is interacting with you or paying attention to just you for your photo. It’s not hard to do, but it does require planning and patience. Your first and best chance is to...
