STEEM PHOTO NEWS

@soonidrift announced Winner of his Best Shot Contest 2

Please state clearly in the comments how would you like to be featured in the “Daily Photo Selection”: with a linked photo, or with link only without a photo. We are making a list of photographers who are ready to improve the visibility of their work through the DPS. Thank you.

Sunday is a day of rest for all of us. Thank you.



Daily photo selection is aimed to stimulate photographers in their search of quality. One of the elements that should always be included with your photos, are the information on equipment and exposure data. That way you will give valuable lesson to other photographers, and they will undoubtly respond with more upvotes.

@photo-trail, please support original photos on Steem. You are promoting users who pretend to be photographers when they are really just copy-pasting.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ALERT

@photo-trail, you are in violation of the copyright for posting images which you do not license. You should remove them or comply with the licenses.

@steemcleaners, this account is posting a lot of stock images and images found on the web.

Since @photo-trail expects to make money on this post, it is a commercial use of the image(s) and therefore only photos licensed for commercial use can be used. I have posted extensively about this issue on Steem, including this one about the dirty secrets of posting stock images.

Here is a list of non-original photos posted on this page with links to their source.

Here is the Osprey... https://leighdiprosephotography.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/getting-up-early-pays-off/ (Edited... sorry!) (Doh! Nice photo, too! Glad @myday is here on Steem!)

The lightning photo is a Stock photo: http://www.fotosearch.com/CSP994/k16382136/

Copyright Infringement by @photo-trail

In addition to this, your Garfield image is in violation for a couple of reasons. Since it comes from Glitter-Graphics.com, you need to use this as a guide:

On Glitter-Graphics you find a variety of graphics that you can use on your Myspace profile, Orkut page, Xanga page, weblog or any other kind of website. All graphics are free for personal use: no strings (or pricetags, for that matter) attached towards us. None of the images may be used for commercial purposes or re-distribution, unless you got permission of the image's owner.
Please see This FAQ for the source.

This means that you cannot post this image on your commercial blog.

Furthermore, the artist and creator of Garfield, Jim Davis, would need to license the re-use of his characters. (He is, in effect, the "image owner.") This is not free use, especially on a commercial blog post. As such, the person creating the animated image was herself in violation of copyright.

You should come clean and stop doing this!

Thank you for your contribution @uruiamme. I'm doing my best to support original content and struggling authors, but I cannot check every photo. I have to believe to the authors who says they send their own photos. If someone is caught cheating, he will never be featured again. Lightning photo is obviously edited photo from your link, and @julee will be removed and blacklisted until she proves the authorship.

@myday is original author of the osprey photo – he is Leigh Diprose, which is visible from his Steemit header, and you can check it.

As of Garfield image… it is usual that in case of non-free commercial usage there is a copyright symbol. There was none on that Garfield image and therefore it could be considered it was free use with the signature of source. Your link to FAQ says it isn’t and it will be removed.

Thank you again and please keep checking for cheaters.

Thanks for clearing up the Osprey by @myday! I edited my reply, above.

The thing I want you to understand is that "Fair use" would not help you take most images and plop them onto your blog (See my linked page, above). I know there are a lot of "meme" type images, taken out of context, and they are somewhat derivative images based on movies. I will leave that (long) discussion for a later day, but I believe most of those animated GIFs and memes are subject to fair use claims by those who post them.

In the case of Garfield, my understanding is that there is no fair use. A person has manipulated an artwork, or reproduced a likeness of the artwork, of a famous cartoonist. Without permission. They do this with no commentary of the image. Instead, they are making derivative works which attempt to be just as nice/funny/cute as the cartoonist's works. The cuteness is in the derivative image stapled to your web page. (Just as a licensed Garfield pencil or notepad would be.)

Here's a test: Can the Garfield work be entered into a local "art show" as an original work? No.

The memes? Like Eddie Murphy tapping his forehead with a caption? Can I show a collection of these things? I say, yes. The creativity is in the words of the meme, which generally amount to a fair use of a frame from the movie. Even without a caption, just using the still image in the middle of a conversation... is a fair way of adding my own creative flair to the conversation.

As for finding the offending pictures... please chat with me for a solution. Same username over at Steemit.chat. It's not hard at all.

I'd love your help! You look at so many things in #photography.

A round of applause for everyone today.. A very, very good selection. much admiration for @cottonlazarus reflections. right up my shopping Street ! @lighteye casting a mysterious light on the examination table.. what is she saying ? I think she's explaining her big A-grade concept

pity we missed my dead insects today, a bit late, the baby was being sick everywhere.. it's probably one of my top 3 photo posts ever so I hope @photo-trail appreciates the heads up on this.

@lighteye casting a mysterious light on the examination table.. what is she saying ? I think she's explaining her big A-grade concept

As a foreigner, she does not have a perfect knowledge of language, and she use “a helping hands” to explain things out of her vocabulary reach… Thank you for the shoutout :)

now that makes perfect sense. I speak quite good English and I still find myself doing this all the time !

You have many beautiful projecs, @outerground, we can't get to show all of them 😊 But I do not doubt you will soon be featured again.

Thanks Photo-trail. Very kind. I'm not sure what time zone you're on but I seem to only have a couple of hours in the late evening to post things, so perhaps will start scheduling my posts a bit better !

Try between 18:00 and 22:00 CET :)

That makes sense ! I'm usually on about 22:00 00:00 ! Cheers for the heads up
