Going Right Down To The Wire

G'day, Your Name Must be Barb ...

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Sometimes you start out photographing one thing and end up concentrating on something else altogether. I took a couple of shots of this barbed-wire fence (not a common sight here in Oz) against a clear blue sky and was about to walk on. That's when I noticed something else. Glistening in the bright sunlight was a gossamer-thin strand of cobweb. I had to change angles and shoot to capture it gleaming in the sun. Hmmm, nice web site!

David, a question.
I have started posting my photos. I noticed that you and Carol put a copyright notice on yours. Should I do the same? I know nothing about copyright. Does each one need a copyright notice or can I put a notice in the side column to include my art also?

Hi Darlene,

Great, I'll check 'em out. No, you don't need copyright authority. Really, it's just a (very mild) deterrent - I do it to deter anyone who thinks of being dastardly as copying the pictures without asking me first.

Just makes 'em think twice before copying and pasting.

Yes, put a notice in your sidebar - that's probably the best idea.

Cheers

David

Thanks Dave, I saw a site with a notice in the side bar... now I just gotta find it again. Later Gator.

Sounds good to me, Darlene

David,

Mushy has just left a url for a little piece of software that automatically prints a small copywrite stamp ON the corner of each photo, so if its cut and pasted, your rights to it is still printed up there, for all to see! He's posted it in the comments section of my latest post.

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the heads-up. And thank you too, Mushy, for instigating that.

Cheers

David
