SteveOBHave - if your girlfriend took the picture, how can you submit it as your own in this comp :confused:

Checked the rules - nothing about the photo having to have been taken by the person posting the image, and as such I have given the quodos for the image to the person that took it, my girlfriend. If this is an issue I can get her to get a sign in on OCUK (altho she hates computers) and repost under her name. Regardless, it was taken using my camera and the image exists under the constraints of the rules.

Anyway, by virtue of your comment you have acknowledged the fact that I have not submitted it as my own.

Steve, how can you "retain copyright of the image" if you dont have it to begin with? I think its in the rules by implication. :)

he can have copyright of the image if his girlfriend gave it up.

it may not say it in the rules - but surely it goes without saying if you're entering the photo it must be your work

It may be his work.

He found the location
He set the shot up (Subject / Framing etc)
He set the Camera up (Exposure / Shutter Speed etc)

then his girlfriend did the same as the self-timer would have done - released the shutter .

I honestly cant see what the problem is. Does this mean we can have pictures done by self timers that contain the forum member who is entering the pic into the competition (Cykey and Matty spring to mind of recent competitions??)

Thank you :) And for the record, yes the image was my idea - was one of those impulse moments where you're driving past and think "wouldn't that make a cool photo". There are a whole series of them that I can post if you like, all taken by me. Lack of a tripod prompted me to 'use' my girlfriend, a period of heckling prompted me to mention my girlfriends contribution :D
 
Ok, before this gets out of hand, the judging team have collectively had words and we've come to the conclusion that photographers should only enter images they have taken themselves.

This has always been implied by the following rules:

* Photographers must post their make and model unless it is provided in the EXIF Information.
* Photographers retain full copyright to their entries, so you must contact them before using their entries.

It's never been explicitly mentioned to try and keep the competition as simple as possible. We do realise there is no way of enforcing this rule - this competition is entirely based on trust. This works because you're all honest people - SteveOBHave didn't have to state he hadn't taken the picture.

Therefore:

SteveOBHave - Your picture can stand but only if you are posting on behalf of your girlfriend. If this is the case we'll need her name so we can allocate points accordingly.

Everyone else - the rules will be updated for next round to explicitly state that you must have been the photographer for the image you enter.
