Capturing the Capital

caf – I guarantee that 90% of people on these photo sharing websites do not read the 10 or so pages of computer font terms and conditions of use before they click the Ok button.

Basically if you want to keep photos to yourself – keep them off the internet – or keep your internet versions low res – or digitally locked and watermarked (not in the photo – but metadata)

“They are looking for photos of different Capital Region icons and institutions (this month it’s Parliament House)…”

Let’s see how many photographers vying for this month’s prize are arrested on suspcicion of terrorist activity for loitering around PH and taking pics!

So if you choose to publish your work under a license that allows commercial use, someone might use it commercially? Well knock me over with a feather duster.

whoops – forgot to close Url tag properly … Admins ?

wheres that edit button

Stereo Henry – Watever you want published – upload to Flickr and give several tags – wont be long until it starts appearing on bus bill boards; under Creative commons laws – hence only upload low res – or in my case – pictures that are not my favourite/best – alternately you can nail down on various access levels.

As for 30 dollars prize money – gimmie a break – I get better satisfaction posting images to RiotACT…….** Jazz its all yours….

**I recieved no money/beer/incentive for this comment.

As an amateur photographer I’d be stoked to have my work published

30 bucks? *THIRTY* bucks? Once again I find myself agreeing with VYBerlina. “Hold me back boys”, I’m goin’ all out for that 30 bucks. Sheesh – I’d spend more than that in petrol driving around getting a couple of photo shots to submit! 30 bucks won’t even buy ME a meal and dessert in many of Canberra’s restaurants, let alone me and a friend.

How about $3000 bucks ABC? Who set the prize? 30 bucks wouldn’t even inspire my 10 year old.

I wonder if the terrorist hotline will be inundated with reports of people photographing landmarks….

Holy crap! A $30 prize! Wait while I quit my job…

looks like they’ve been doing similar things all over the country for a while:
Darwin
Cairns
Sydney
