Hopefully, I'm just overlooking a setting. You would think there would be a huge outcry from the 500px community.
Unfortunately, we've received three days of rain since my camera was delivered. I had a couple hours with a break in the clouds so I immediately grabbed the camera and my 8 yr. old for some quick shooting. "Quick" and "learning a new camera system" don't always go together that well but the button layout and menus make the "z" a pleasure to use. My plan is to use this camera for landscape work predominately, however, I love the "z" and 150mm for portrait work. So, most of the photos below are of my son.
My three day review with this camera and three lenses (FA 35mm, 55mm & 150mm) I can honestly say it's the best piece of gear I've ever purchased for my photography. I am one happy camper!

I think I figured out how it's happening. Last night I was on 500px and noticed the "Download" button on our photos. Click that and it provides the photo with credits from 500px / copyright info applied. I searched the settings trying to find a way to disable "Download" but didn't see it. If you find a solution other than disabling the "Store" please let me know. I'm surprised 500px is allowing that type of sharing / access without the photographer's permission. I guess when you sign up for an account it's hidden in their TOS / Privacy Policy.

Feel like I'm standing right with you on the last one Thomas. Fantastic as always.
Did you contact the flickr user(s) that were using your images without permission?

Terrific landscapes itshimitis!
My first photo shooting medium format and my first with my 645z which came today. I've shot DSLR's for years but after seeing the latitude in post and the amazing files from the "z" today I'm definitely hooked!
So, here's my simple first submission. This is my very active 8 yr. old, Eli. Getting him to stop running, playing baseball, basketball, etc. for a 5 second shot is an accomplishment. You can see the red in his face from running just before I snapped this photo. All boy... a good thing!

Beautiful photograph and subject Joe. Enjoying the 150mm? I'm planning to make that one of my first purchases when I get the 645z.

I finally joined the forum today after months lurking and enjoying this great thread! Thanks to all for the fantastic photographs. I'm hopeful to be a new 645z owner very soon and contribute. Thanks for the inspiration and, unfortunately, spending my money. :)
