I am not a violent man I swear but I could slap her face.
Last year one of the mum's at my son's rugby started taking photos at the matches.
She then uploades all the photos to her FB page.
After a few matches she asked me for some advice on camera settings as a lot of her photos were blurred.
I went through settings with her and suggested she get a faster lens. She then bought the Siggy 70-200/2.8.
6 months later she got a good shot of my son playing rugby league. I tagged the photo and asked if I could get the full res photo.
Her husband emailed me a 125kb copy. I then emailed back explaining what I meant by full resolution. Nothing came.
A few weeks later I tagged two other photos and asked for them.
Nothing, nada, zilch etc etc
Okay so be it.
I have now started putting shots of the team on my website so that people can buy them if they like.
I sent out an email to all the parents with the address, explaining how best to navigate the site etc.
Within about half an hour she "replies to all" saying
--------------------
My photos are on Facebook - I restrict them to be available to friends only so just send me a friend request if you want to look at them.
If anyone wants copies just let me know and I'll stick them on a disc for you.
--------------------
That is why I could slap her. Others may be generous with their interpretation but I see it another way - hence the rant.
I haven't told her that she can just upload a high res version to FB, so people can download direct from there
A mate then emailed me
-------------
I think its nice that ****** will burn hers onto a DVD and give it to anyone who wants it at no cost - shows you up for the money-grabbing charlaton that we know you to be!!!!!
-------------
I did laugh at that mind.
Still I know that at the end of the day if I produce a product of much better quality then I will still get sales, but this does make it harder.
I have helluva lot of room for improvement - hence why I post for C&c in photo sharing section.
The challenge has been set though.
That is my rant over for the day. Bed at midnight and up at 5am for work after being out for 16 hours yesterday.
