Know what’s © Right…
Usually, I don’t feature books on my blog, but for once, this one is a must read…
Photographer’s Survival Manual:
A Legal Guide for Artists in the Digital Age
For all you amateur and professional photographers out there, actually anyone who wants (or plans) to make money with a digital camera needs this guide.
Written by Jack Reznicki, president of the Professional Photographers of America, and Ed Greenberg, the leading New York copyright attorney, it provides photographers and visual artists with the most authoritative legal advice available.
Everything is covered, from contracts, subcontracts, releases, and permissions to the copyright laws and all the steps artists should take to register and protect their work. Find out how to use copyright to protect your work from infringement, insure you are properly paid for your work, and how to proceed if your rights are infringed upon.
You can get the book on Amazon [link]

Hungry?
As a photographer, you often run all day, ending up rushing into the next MD just to get something in your stomach. Not so if you shoot for the Gold Box Restaurant Challenge. I was invited to fly to Mackay Queensland to be part of another of their exciting events, and the food was amazing!
A feast for eyes & stomach…

Fly baby, fly…
While enjoying a short Easter holiday on the Sunshine Coast, I came across a skateboard and bikers park, right on the beach. The guys were showing off their skills and I couldn’t resist to get the camera out (yes, even on holidays, smile).

Nikon Super GP
Last weekend I took the brand new Nikon D3s for a spin at the Nikon SuperGP on the Gold Coast. What a camera… pretty impressive, I must say! I will post some hands-on reviews of this amazing new camera soon. Before hand, for more information, visit the Nikon D3s Miro-Site.
Instead of posting just a few shots from the event, I thought, I’ll put a little video together…
Even better, watch it on YouTube in HQ and full size.
