Pretty! Like to be there!
Nice shots, Ocean, glad to see another striper addict here. I chase them hard every fall on Martha's Vinyard where there are similar sunrises and sets. Get any big ones this summer?? Do you fish bait with sand spikes and MD the beach while waiting for a hit??
Nice shots, but in all honesty the Ocean7 copyright is far
too large. Same data much smaller is equally effective.
FWIW, in the US you automatically hold copyright on
all of your original work, no matter if marked as copyrighted,
or not.
yeah I know and even that doesn't stop people but if I see one of my photos
used somewhere important like a magazine or photography contest etc. then there is no doubt about the plagiarism
and infringement on the copyright. We have to take into account those with bad eyes! LOL
I do understand how you feel, as I've got several images
that I've sold numerous prints of.
Truth is though that the legal copyright is *implied*, meaning
if you have the original artwork including EXIF data, then you
can easily make your case in a court of law. There's technically
no need to place our © on the image itself.
Did this for illustrative purposes only, but if someone wants to
use one of your pics the © mark on it means very little. Removing
your mark took me less than a minute per pic.
If someone does steal one of your pics, then a "Cease and
Desist" letter can sure get their attention. Had an environmentalist
site heist one of my landscape shots, and I gave them the choice of
paying me a royalty to use it, or take it down. It was gone from their
site before the day was over.
