Hoi Juergen,

I had to inform BBC they couldn't use my picture anymore.
I'm happy they contacted me to ASK if they could use a pic instead of STEAL a pic.

I didn't want to start a discussion about asking money for a picture or not.

I only want to show how some company's are correct. There are a lot of topics on shipspotting.com, where you can find links to stolen pictures, even pictures from me are used on another website.

3 agencies contacted me, 1 said they have another 'free' photo for use, 1 asked me a price so only that agency could use the photo and BBC I had to inform they couldn't use the picture anymore because 1 agency bought all rights.

I don't want to make money out of it, but it's the correct way that these agencies are dealing with us, the photographer and owner of that photo.

Hey Bob,

unofficial is oke by me because I still didn't receive an answer from the admins on this community. I'm also a member on Digital-Seas.com so I also like to invite people there.

Like Peter said there is the tallshiprace in july. As agreed on our last unofficial we had in Rotterdam/Antwerp we would like to have an unofficial this year in Hamburg, but this tallship is maybe a special weekend. That's the reason I have this topic.

For your information, I also in contact with some Antwerp hotels to give us a good Summit-price for the weekend for all members who like to join this weekend.

Will update soon, hope to have a planning in december so we can start with a list of people who likes to join.

Would like to know from somebody from shipspotting.com if we can make this an official or an unofficial summit.

If unofficial we can start to take contact with some hotels to get a good price for the weekend.

Hope you can make this a sticky topic. I know some people like to go next year to Hamburg but I want to open the possibility for another (un)official summit 2010 in Antwerp.

Reason : http://www.tallshipsrace2010.be

People who likes to join can leave details in this topic (we have time) and I will see what we can do.

Hi Sevo, yes you did a nearly perfect job. 50D is great.

Peter, I had a 50 D in my hands on the summit and I can't wait to start spotting.
I also know already how to use the timer  :-D

Next lens is maybe for next year. Useless in Antwerp, Terneuzen but should be good for Rotterdam

Today I said to myself "lets go crazy" and I went to the photoshop.

I came home with a body 50 D and a EF 70-300mm 14-56 IS USM

Did I do a good job???

Next on my list is a 100-400 mm
