They have an extension for Chrome that allows you to right-click the image and do the search, no need to drag and drop, which is difficult when running a tabbed browser.

We'll see.

It's not like I'm raking in piles of cash off my photography...but I don't want someone else doing it.

Her: "That site isn't up any more."
Me: "I'm looking at it right now..."

I guess I'm a decent enough photographer that someone else is claiming my work. Yea!...I think.

If she did make any money you should be entitled to it. Call a lawyer. She needs to be taught a lesson.

You people are too lenient. Sites will never be discouraged from using other photos without consent if you don't at least threaten SOME action against them.

I plan on sending the 6 websites that stole my photo a bill this weekend. Right after I finish:

1) Saving the web pages to my hard drive
2) Printing the website page to a pdf file complete with links
3) Screen capture the site
4) Screen capture the search results as another definitive record that the image was indeed on their site.
5) Probably the grand daddy of them all...use my Camtasia Studio 7 software to do a live desktop recording and my voice over going to each website and documenting the photo and page dates, contact info etc. so that's it's a complete record that I WAS on their website...on this day..seeing my photo, and loading the page live.

I'm covering my butt, this way even if they delete the photo I still have ALL the proof I need. When I send them the bill based on the file size, the date it first appeared on the site until today, the type of use etc. (Using the stock photo calculator and then probably doubling that price due to the theft of my image) I will also include the fact that a simple deletion will does not imply innocence, and that I have multiple records of my photo being on their site.

Last week I was contacted by a publishing house seeking to use the very same photo as a book cover for a run of a minimum of 1000 books. I am still in the process of discussing their intended distribution market, length of use, budget etc. At least that company was decent enough to contact me and ask if I would consider selling a license to them.

Do SOMETHING my friends to not only protect your own work, but that of others in the future. If there are no repercussions it will only get worse.

These poor guys spend the entire day seeing random and some screamingly disgusting images pop up on their screens every five seconds, eight hours a day. Turnover is very high.

Someone should contact Mike Rowe.

I can't figure the drag and drop bit. Must be something intuitively obvious that I'm missing. But I did find a picture of mine on a page in a language I don't understand. Not even sure what language it is, nor whether or not if I link it, it will go to my picture.

All you have to do is go to Google.com, and then click on the link that specifically searchs for images. You don't even have to click on the search box or anything else. Once the image search portion of Google loads just drag the file from your desktop or folder onto the long white search box and it will change to a larger box that says something like upload image etc. Just release it with your mouse and wait for the results.

The image was being loaded from something like 30.media.tumblr.com (From a quick look at the hyperlink and media information)

I still can't get to the photo a second time, but the first time I got the link to open to your photo I did a screen capture to get some info. Even if they did delete it or do delete it in the future here is proof that the photo was at least linked to her page at one time. Look at the web browser bar for the full site link.

ETA: It looks like it's also on a few other sites that only you would know if they have permission. Since there was a couple more Turkish sites and I think I saw a Russian site in there as well on page 2 of the results. I also noticed it's on a photography blogger site that appears to pull umbrella images in from the web. Your photo links to 1x, but not to the photo page...and so no credit.

Hmmm...that's odd. I wonder why it's not showing up for me anymore when using the link.

The file is obviously there based on your screen cap Robert, and I also have the direct link to the file on the server now.

Hmmm... I'm not able to work the drag and drop. When I drag an image from one window into the image search box, the google search window just loads up the same URL as the source image... so I just get the image... nothing else. What am I missing here?

Thanks for the info, guys! Since I don't speak Turkish, I don't know if she says it is hers or not. But I'm not too terribly concerned. I know I should be, but I've never made any money off that shot, nor do I ever expect to. So if someone admires it and wants to use it, I don't think I'll call in the firing squad or send Art after them just yet... :-)

I did see the other umbrella shots list, too. Kinda neat to be included but yeah, credit would be nice. No one else was credited either that I could see.

Fascinating! I searched for my Great Dames image and it popped up in an article called 100 Striking Examples of Black and White Photography. Links back to my 1x page!

The person isn't trying to take credit for your work though, you don't have to worry about that.

edit: also your screenshot suggests you're blocking images from that webpage now.

Except that this blog page is not linking it back to the original nor giving credit, they are posting it as though it is they took the image themselves. I use Google Chrome with the activated auto translate (due to living in a country where I am not fully ok with the language). ETA, oops posted before I'd finished. The translations are not always bang on the money, but the gist is normally OK and in this one, someone has commented below the image that it's a good one and the blog poster responds that they have sent it to the commenter. I do not think at all this is OK.

Good catch on the screenshot blocking images from that server. I didn't intentionally select that so it must have been an errant mouse click where I just happened to be in the wrong spot on the page. LOL. Again, nice catch!
