Photography

Ok, all you photographers out there that use Flickr and other online photo sharing places…..

I am trying to figure out what to do about people using my pictures.

Lately I have noticed that my pics are showing up on myspace pages, hockey forums, etc.

I can’t decide if it bothers me and if I should try to watermark my images, or if I should just let it go.

So far all I have noticed is hockey pictures- but I haven’t really searched for anything else yet.  Flickr gives me a nice track-back so I can find where a lot of traffic comes from- this has been helpful when tracking down my pics out there.

Anyway, shoot me an email if you have dealt with this problem and what you have done about it.

    I dont share photos online! but I would for sure water mark them with a copy right. I think its so wrong that people steal photos like that! good luck.

    You need to contact the people that have them and tell them to take them down.

    yes, WATERMARK them ALL.

    Watermarking works the best. I watermark all of my art pieces. Contact the admins of the sites that are currently using your images and they usually will be kind enough to remove them.

    You are an amazing photographer, and others shouldn’t be using your photos without your permission. You should sell them on Etsy, like other’s do!!!!
