General Photography Discussion / More Stolen Pics At Flickr

« on: December 30, 2011, 19:11 »

I do a google search on my name very month or so and today I came up with 2 different users with my pics in their Flickr stream. One of them has over 1000 images with many that I checked using google image search belong to lots of different photographers at shutterstock, 123rf and so on.......the other guy only has a little over 50 with 6 of them being mine.

You may want to see if any of yours are there...........I'll be sending a copyright notice to yahoo (flickr).

1000+ Large assortment styles and subject type

General Photography Discussion / A look into the some thoughts of image thieves

« on: March 16, 2010, 20:15 »

I ran across this blog post about some site that was using istock watermarked thumbs and got a take down notice from Getty.

Reading the comments section gives you an idea how some of these thieves think, its their right, its fair use and so on.

Here is the link if you care to have a look........if you do it will probably piss you off, like it did me.

Print on Demand Forum / Todays Best At Zazzle

« on: February 22, 2009, 19:25 »

New to micorstock as of about a year ago and have portfolios at the usual agencies and doing okay as they build in size.

I saw a post on Zazzle.com on here a while back and decided to give it a try. Created a few products and then did not rally do much with it. Well since m camera is down and in the shop ( the dreaded fEE error) I have time to do other things and uploaded more images and created some new products and integrated a few of their plugins into my site. Checked my email a little later in the days and I actually into "Todays Best" for my "California Mini's".....first award/recognition for any photo work....very cool..!!!!

Had to tell someone......

Not using this image at any stock sites, it has its problems but can be fixed and used a Topaz Labs tool, highly filtered to get the effect on the image.

Zymmetrical.com / zymmetrical - removing images

« on: July 24, 2008, 09:49 »

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to delete images from my profile at zymmetrical. I can not see any way to delete.

I also entered my email with a .con, should be .com but I can not find anyway to change my email address.

I just joined this site the other day and had major rejections. I sumitted images that have been accpted and have regular sales at all other sites, DT, IS 123 and so on........ probably about a 90% rejection rate Zem....Across all sights that I submit I might have an average of 25% rejection.

Since it does not look like this site allows you to control your image (delete (accepted/uploaded)), can't change my email, they do not respond to submitted to a trouble ticket......I most likely will not submit to this site anymore.

Thanks for any info you can give removing images from Zem.
