Saburo,
Great pics!
Couldn't you have added the water marks at the bottom of the pictures? Yea, I know that some folks (myself) would crop the image to remove the watermark, but...but...
~S~! Back at you. Thanks, glad you liked them. I have to protect my images not only for myself but also for the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, ca.
I had to add the copyright watermark that would be part of the plane image so anyone that *really* had to have a clean image would have to work at it. I realised I had made a mistake on releasing the first batch of images w/out any watermarks.
Funny how some look at the whole copyright thing. Some think that somehow because an image appears on the internet, that somehow it is free and they can do whatever the heck they wish with it (copy it, distribute it, sell it, etc.) all without the permission of the copyright holder.
This is my business that I am doing part time for now.
If anyone wishes for a large clean print, they can:
1) Buy ~$6,000.-$8,000. in photography equipment and take their own photos. (I'll be more than happy to offer advise)
2) Purchase the image of your choice in the size of your choice from my website

(BTW, the PoF Air Museum gets 50% of the net profit from all sales).
****or****
Just enjoy the images I share here (with copyright watermark).
Some here understand the whole issue and appreciate the images for what they are, and that I appreciate.
FYI most images shot were with an equivilent 18.29 X optical zoom.
Regards
