... not really. I did a search on my name in Google and found a German site which is posting my picture Blueberry Splash. Look here.

I'm not offended, I'll take it as a compliment. Anyone know what the text under the photo says? I tried an on-line translation and it didn't make any sens.


Thanx.

First place for the theme "Blue". Camera: Canon Powershot G2.

To create this seems to me to be less difficult using digital than film. Even just the DOF is with a film camera more of an estimation unless one is very familiar with once tools. How much photoshop is allowed to be used to create the final image I wasn't able to find out: DPChallenge is a photography competition for any user with a digicam. Themes change weekly.

Wow Jacko...that's quite a compliment! Congrats :D

It doesn't seem stolen since it links back to DPC "//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=9029" as seen in the code instead of physically saving it on their server. Take it as a compliment. Congrats!

It seems they have used your photo to compare a digital with an analog photo shot Jacko. Only a discussion with a link to your photo. Feel honoured!!!

Just curious...is it both legal and also good etiquette for another site to make use of Jacques picture in this manner without his prior agreement? What about DPC, is it OK for these folks to create this sort of link? The translation seems to indicate that they tried to make contact, yet Jacques appears to be unaware of this contact (based upon his comments). With the DPC site, it is very easy to make contact, so this might be a bit suspect too? Needless to say, I would not wish to make an issue out of these questions, I was just curious as to what is legal and also what is proper. Does anyone have a view on this issue?

By the way Jacques, congratulations for this fine work and the other winning efforts that you submitted for all of us to enjoy.

hi! i found this thread in my referrers.
i am sorry, it is not my intention to steal photos or to violate copyrights. (if so, a pic just has to be renamed and make sure that there are no links to its source - then no one will find the source anymore.)
i posted this in my private weblog (topics photo: //flagr.antville.org/topics/photo/) together with the link to its source because i wanted to show the great results of composing a picture with a digital-cam together with a recommendation to have a look on this site. for the photo i took a downscaled copy of the pic, because for me it is more secure than the direct link.
in my text i wanted to say that it seems to be much more difficult composing a picture with a digital cam than using a camera with film (and not the other way round). even just to have the control over the DOF seems to be more an estimation for digital-cameras, than for traditional cams with film.
the rest of franziska's translation was correct.
i put no comment to your pic, jacques, because this is a great work which speaks for itself. it makes me stop breathing for a moment.

i apologize for this confusion.

Doing a little ego-surfing, Jacko? =D

Well, in a word: No. It is laudable that the one who used the image referred back to the site, but as a designer of web pages, I have used many photos from all over the web. I only use them after I get permission. I've only had a few people say no to me, but it is a violation of copyright law to use someone's work without their permission, even if cited.

I'm pretty sure it is legal to post a link to the PAGE on which the item is originally displayed (that's the way the whole web works!), but not to create a link such that the image becomes a component of the page you create.

I agree with GeneralE and dsidwell. Even if the name is changed or no link to original, it is still your property (unless you sign over the copyright), and you have control over it. What if one of you photographers who have a nude/erotic photo, and it ends up on a porn site with your name on it and no permission/compensation?

Jacko, be pleased they credited YOU for the picture. Now if it would have had someone else's name...
02/26/2003 09:45:20 AM · #16
I have no problem with people posting my work on other sites. I just found it amusing to have my photo posted on a German site and had no idea what it said. As previously stated, I'm taking it as compliment.


:)

hey Jacko ... you can go to //www.freetranslation.com and can get an idea of what it said .. :)

well i went ahead and did it .... here's what the website translated it
to:

Place 1 to the subject 'blue'. cam: canon powershot G2.



To place picture artistic what on the legs appears to be me digitally a little kniffliger, is is contribute may when analogous. alone already the inspection over the depths sharpness with searcher cameras sooner an 'over the thumb peilen', if one there not extremely trusted with its working device. how many photoshop to the final result, not yet was able to find I here: dpchallenge is a competition for each photographer with pixelcam. the subjects specification.

(platz 1 zum thema 'blue'. cam: canon powershot g2.

bildgestalterisch was auf die beine zu stellen erscheint mir digital ein wenig kniffliger zu sein, als analog. allein schon die kontrolle über die tiefenschärfe ist mit sucherkameras eher ein 'über den daumen peilen', wenn man da nicht äusserst vertraut mit seinem arbeitsgerät ist. wieviel photoshop zum endergebnis beitragen darf, konnte ich hier noch nicht finden:
dpchallenge ist ein wettbewerb für jeden photographer mit pixelcam. die themenvorgaben wechseln wöchentlich.)

OMG ok ... so now i'm nosey ... and went to that home page and this is what i found!

someone stole my photo
einen hab ich doch noch. wenn hier schon nichts passiert kann ich ja an anderer stelle für etwas aufregung sorgen und sich so die referrerliste füllen:
erhitzte gemüter (naja, halbwegs) in einer diskussion auf der fotosite dpchallenge.com da geht es um bilderklau, urheberrechtsschwindel und so. angestossen hat das der photograph von einem atemberaubend schönen bild, das ich in dieser story im dezember postete. ich war mir keiner schuld bewusst, ich gebe ja kein fremdes bild als mein eigenes aus. aber einen kleinen aufstand hat das doch da gegeben in diesem club. hier der thread aus dem dpchallenge-forum.
...hihi - man spricht von mir im plural: It seems they have used your photo to compare a digital with an analog photo shot... und ...they credited YOU for the picture... und das gereicht wiederum zur ehre dieses popeligen weblogs hier.

ok - now in english ...
I have can would place worry someone stoles my photo one yet yet. if here already nothing happened I yes at others for something excitement and fill myself so the referrerliste: heated minds (naja, half-way) in a discussion on the photo sites dpchallenge. com there it concerns pictures claw, copyright vertigo and so. activated has that the photographer of a breathtaking pretty picture, that I in this story in DecemberGuilt deliberately, I give gave yes no strange picture as my characteristic out of. however a little uprising that yet there in this club. here the thread out of the dpchallenge forum. ...Hihi - one speaks about me in the plural: it seems they have used your photo to compare a digitally with at by analogy photo shot... and ...they credited YOU for the picture... and that passed again this popeligen weblogs to that sooner here.


Hmmmm ... looks like someone on that site is watching us :)
