The copyright laws are there to protect all pieces of original work so this could be a factor regarding you putting them on BE without stating the source.

Re: Images of Spain
 

If the thread is titled " Images of Spain, but only personal photos ", obviously I would only put own pictures made by me. I could fool because I could copy pictures and copy to photobucket, so that the direction of photo image can not see, and I could say, easily, the picture is mine. But by ethic, is something I've never done nor I will

The photos are sought by google, although always I try to find pictures I find something special (what'll I never make is the of a "chringuito" or people swimming at the beach, if it is something very common and we have many beaches, for example) or places which are difficult or that I think who have never seen the foreigners who come to Spain. Even other curiosities, such as wildlife

What I can say is that all photos are from Spain, never I put pictures of another country. I believe that I have not breached any protocol...

Re: Images of Spain
 

I'm a fairly serious amateur photographer. The Photographic community actually hates the kind of thing that you are doing, because if you use someone elses photograph then it's expected that you credit them for it. It is their copyright. Most people here thought these were your photographs.

I'm interested to see your photographs of places in Spain you have been. It would be appreciated. I'm not interested in seeing pictures that have been lifted of the internet. Some of the ones you have posted belong to Reuters, some belong to personal flickr accounts. It's not the spirit of this thread my friend ;):lol:

Re: Images of Spain
 

It's something I don't understand either, because that way, more than half world would be committing a misdeed by putting photographs of the network in elsewhere. The photographs I post, are public photographs, are on the network, and there has not been economic benefit in any of these photographs. Furthermore, are not own photographs of people, are photographs of public events, landscapes, wildlife, etc etc

I don't know what is the spirit of this thread, because I can not know everything. Only I know that you never have specified or indicated on the entry of your thread of what nature should be the photographs. I have only seen it was a thread of photos about Spain, nothing else

You have the authority to remove photographs. And if people hate (according you) I've done, what a pity. I did it with the best intention

Re: Images of Spain
 

I'm just trying to pleasantly explain the situation to you. I'm sure you had the best intentions, everyone elses shots on here are ones that they have taken. Thats the idea of this thread.

Re: Images of Spain
 

Thank you both for discussing this issue in a civilised manner and clarifying the misunderstanding about the point of this thread but we are now in danger of turning this into a discussion thread rather than a photo thread.

So I suggest that we return to encouraging members to put their photo´s of either their own area in Spain or from their travels around Spain onto this thread. Could I ask that people say where the places are as it is not always obvious or if it is a special event to say the name of the event and when it occurs as it would be very helpful to others. Also do not be shy about the quality of your photo´s some will be lacking in quality due to their equipment whilst others will be very professional, this is not a competition so it does not matter, what matters is allowing us to gain an insight into this wonderful country that we have chosen to live in.

So come on folks let us see your images of Spain.

Re: Images of Spain
 

Mitzy, I think you've said before you get these amazing shots by bracketing- Do you edit them yourself to combine them or do you have a program (or a function on the camera) that does it automatically?

Even my little compact does bracketing and I have a program which supposedly combines them (HDR Luminace) but so far I haven't played seriously enough with it.

Re: Images of Spain
 

Only one of those pictures above (the first) was bracketed, mainly to get the blurred water effect. I don't do HDR any more very much, but when I do it is with Photomatix Pro

Most of the above were edited in Camera RAW, Photoshop CS6 & NIK Colourefex Pro.

Thank you. They're beautiful photos however you get them
