Comments on: Puttin’ on the Brits http://www.leonneal.com/blog/2009/02/18/puttin-on-the-brits/ An ever-growing archive of bumbling nonsense from an English press photographer Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:51:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: tabascokid http://www.leonneal.com/blog/2009/02/18/puttin-on-the-brits/comment-page-1/#comment-59817 tabascokid Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:41:35 +0000 http://www.leonneal.com/blog/?p=624#comment-59817 Good man! You weren't kidding when you said you were going through the whole thing! I salute you. It's good to know that pretty soon, the pictures will get all supersized from when I upgraded the blog to include a larger image size. :) As for the pics, I've never pored over the small print but I think it's safe to say that if I shoot a job on their equipment in a location that I wouldn't get access to without their help, I think the rights lay with them. It's never been too much of a problem as they're very supportive with what I do and I'll often receive feedback through the system on blogs that I write etc. Enjoy the rest of 2009! (I feel like a photographic Marty McFly...) Good man! You weren’t kidding when you said you were going through the whole thing! I salute you.

Great shots....love the 'catchflash' technique gives a really interesting result...will look forward to seeing more over the next 2.5 years!!! Just out of interest...as your working at these events under the banner of afp...do all the images you take become their property..and thereby there copyright? Or is it that only the images you push through to them become official afp property? Well made it to Feb 09!

Emotionally it can be quite draining. Leon, these shots are great as always. Excellent moments captured, amazing clarity, and stunning colours.

Would like to know what the likes of Getty, reuters, AP and the others at AFP would say when they get front row and get pegged as a paparazzi tog, as I don't remember ever hanging out side night clubs at 3 am but I do remember being in the first row of a prem.
