I think thats a great idea Tuney. Your pictures are always very creative and I for one would certainly keep an eye out for gorgeous images.

Goodness no.. as soon as you start using those picture sites, people start stealing your photos like crazy.

Steal... photos?

I don't get it? I mean, one photo of, say, Blossomforth, may be from a different angle or something as compared to another, but they're still going to be of the exact same figure. It's not like anyone's stealing the actual toys themselves. And you still have the photo, since you uploaded it and it's presumably on your hard-drive and whatnot. I just don't understand what this means. I guess it might be a concern if someone downloads someone else's picture and uses it on eBay to misrepresent the contents of their auction (e.g. pretending there isn't a paint mark or other blemish), but there are enough photos of everything already that adding one more won't change anything, and besides that...?

To be honest this is something which upsets me a little.

You would perhaps be surprised by the amount of image theft which comes about even from a site like the Arena - and just because the picture is of the same item that some one else owns or could pick up in store does not mean the image does not belong to the original photographer. Personally I know I would not be happy should I find anyone using a picture I have taken without asking permission [i.e. using or simply uploading to another site]. I have seen several images people have posted here [via whichever file sharing site they use] and then through the simple sharing of that image it ending up on other websites with no credit and certainly without the permission of the original user.

Yes it is unfortunately something we need to be aware of and something we are unlikely to ever stop but just because we are amateur photographers and the pictures taken are of items which plenty of others own does not mean we don't have the right to consider someone using our pictures within permission as "image theft".

Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking!  I had to pass this thread up because of this... but for me, I am mainly using photobucket for MLP stuff.  Anything that I don't want being used is either not uploaded or is watermarked and sent through the copyright office first before being posted anywhere online.  I have my own personal dislike of flickr, but it is a heck of a lot better than photobucket.  Image quality after compression is much nicer.

Yes, agreed!  Lovely brag and Congrats!  They look great!

Wow!  Congrats!  That's awesome!  They are adorable.

Congrats!! I really love how she looks with that hair!

I'm addicted to Doctor Who at the moment... but How I Met Your Mother is also top on my list.  My next show to watch is Supernatural and someone told me I have to watch Psych.  All on Netflix of course.
