Peire, I always wanted to ask why you have such a big copyright on your images. Have you had problems with iamge theft? I generally like your images, but the rather small size and the quite distracting copyright usually stops me from thinking: Hey, I enjoyed that! which is my criterion for giving a like.
Of course it is totally up to you to do with your images as you please, but I wanted to give my perspective on it.
Yes,I've had problem with image theft a few years ago.From that time I post only small images with big copyright.Depending on the license type and circumstances,even such a small pic can fetch 20-50 USD.Selling my photographs since 1997,I just don't want to give away my intellectual property for free.It is of course not about fellow FMers,but there are many other people visiting this site.
A7 and Mir 37/2.8 (Kiev 10/15 mount) @ f/2.8. Very close MFD. Even with sliver of DOF, was able to get exactly what I wanted in focus on the A7 using focus assist (zoom) & medium Peaking (yellow).
