The more I read this thread, the more I think of this scene:

Wow..it took a witch hunt to bring me out of my months long posting dry spell.

This thread is good not just for lynching the guy but to teach a valuable lesson. What's the worst crime against a photographer (not to be confused to crime against a human)? It's stealing his work and claiming it as your own. A good blood searching forum like this teaches the new photographer that stealing someone else's work his a HUGE no-no and puts into perspective how much people dislike it. And he/she learns that they aren't to stand for it when someone steals their work either....and we know this site is all about learning.

So I say get out the pitch forks, light up the torches, grab so rope and gasoline, and bring this sucka down!

It's very clear to me that it was a simple misinterpretation of the rule. Why on Earth would he put the "incriminating" details right on the photo if his intent was to pull a fast one? Give the man a break. He made a mistake, one I'm sure he won't make again.


Deserves a bump. This thread should be locked.

Wow... this is a great tread. There is sooo much real personality coming out.

I love the comments full of hate.

go on show yourself...Never mind its just a digital image. Best part is that photographer did not hide how he made his photo.

I am so embarrassed by some of the comments on here. You bring the level of professionalism (and DPC) down to a level, that is a disgrace.

I hope that you are all proud of yourselves.

i've been reading this thread all morning and i cant believe the hate in this thread.

first, im not defending in any way, what happened was wrong, but its not like he claimed the image as his own, he stated right in the comments what he did. how is that claiming someones work as your own? he basically edited someones else's photo.

there is a clear ignorance here. the image deserves to be dq'd, the photographer doesn't deserve to be lynched.

Take it easy guys, he made a mistake. If he had tried to cheat he would not explain his shot - this witch hunt is definitely sad...

Woah..why is my comment quoted...there is obviously no hate in my post. I'm saying that a forum like this is a learning experience. You are right in that there doesn't need to be so much actual hate in the forum, but the hate in this forum is a learning tool.

And to be clear...he used the words "I created..." and [took a poster, which] "I photographed part of" so in a sense, he believed he created this work. There is no copyright in the comment or on the photograph. If it were any of our work here, we would want to at least be listed and have given permission for its use. A torching thread like this makes the photographer go back and take a closer look at what he did and how it is still considered stealing someone elses image and using it without their permission even if you took a picture of that picture and edited it.

Some of you are too nice and he may not learn the lesson that many photographers on this site have learned or researched more because of these torching threads. By just DQ'ing him and saying it was an honest mistake...it's a mistake he can make again and again..maybe not necessarily on this site, but he may do it in real contest or even worse on a job somewhere in the future. A thread like this teaches him (and every other photographer reading this) this concept before they get into a situation where they can do any real damage. Again I see this as a learning thread.

just a couple notes

1. You can be assured SC is looking into this
2. His "Creation" will most likely get DQ
3. Only thing he should get other than DQ is a "Thank you letter" from people who are upset over this, as he provided a free lesson of what not to do...
4. There is no real damage of any kind.
 01/04/2012 02:55:57 PM · #64
I didn't get my head around the different editing steps and rule sets for a while and found myself continually reading them to make sure I hadn't done something I shouldn't, I think he should be given the benefit of the doubt until such time as the SC deem the image a dq. Myself and 1m1A probably have the most go gain from the dq but the executioners are out before the jury has reached it's verdict.
If it is a genuine mistake will this not drive a member away from the site for good?

This seems to have morphed from a Witch Hunt to a Witch Hunter Hunt.

Who has the nards to turn the tables on the Self-Righteously Indignant? Maybe the Comedic will take up pitchforks and torches?

Three things I learned from this:
1. You cannot take a photo of Tower Bridge from London Eye :)
2. Be careful what you write in the photo notes (I got DQ'd in Basic Editing for mentioning correction of lens distortion in the notes, I no longer participate in any challenge with Basic Editing rules as I believe this should be allowed - down with Basic Editing! ;)
3. A good photo of a well known landmark in MINIATURE challenge will always get a ribbon! ;)

What I learned from this:
1. Take a picture of a boring poster that fits the challenge.
2. Do some post-processing on it to make it fit the challenge even more.
3. Leave your photographer notes blank until the challenge is over.
4. Blue Ribbon For A Day!

I apologize for enjoying this too much.

Hear hear, JulietNN, tanguera, Covert_Oddity and mike_311. I'm horrified by the vitriol being displayed here. It's not like the blue ribbon can be traded in for cash! The best thing about DPChallenge is the wonderful breadth of knowledge being shared by some truly gifted photographers. The challenge topics are just the framework to propel as all forward in trying to take better photographs. Sure it's nice to win a ribbon (I imagine :), but it's not the be-all and end-all :-)

This all incident was worth for that comment! 10 from me :)

Three things I learned from this:

1. Boring is still boring, even in miniature.
2. Never say you're going to list three things when you can't remember the third.
3.

I find it all very funny! the conciensious objectors the most, I wear my heart on my sleeve and yeah it's only a blue ribbon but it's the concept of someone going out there way to steal some one else's photo crop the copyright off it enter it, then sh1t the bed when it wins make up some story about photographing a poster, I cropped it myself to do my copy it's the same size because that's what you need to crop out to remove the copyright symbols. Surly as photographers that's a fundamental given you don't steal Someone else's work???

Here's to free speech and not being scared to call it as you see it, I've been chuckling to myself all day about this micro drama, and the responses. Those trying to be diplomatic and those who don't care like me, saying it as they see it. Those embarrassed or shocked by the response? You know why there's been such a strong response because ppl like and care about dpc and the community and this is an affront to it and goes against the hole ethos of entering your photos and learning and improving and participating on a level playing field.

Hahahahahahahahahaha :)

Stir a bit more for £300 he can use it
