Some cheeky sod entered my photo in a comp!

It does seem a little popular..... http://www.tineye.com/search/7fd604724bdbe82dd7673aca68b5dcfa44e3dcf1/

Bloody hell... that's a lot of invoices to generate.

That's why I'm putting a HUGE watermark in the centre of the image

At this rate the OP will probably get an invoice after someone else has sold it to Getty!

Yeah I know. I've been emailing people to get them to change the image and credit me. Many sites are random forums etc that are not in English - bit of alost cause in general really as it's been duplicated watermarkless so many time.

Still not heard back from this newspaper comp

First time I've seen this image - excellent shot. Shame you're having so much trouble from thieves.

In my experience the Dutch generally speak good English. Emails are all too easily ignored, give them a call instead.

One of the places it appears is this blog - who I must admit have put together a wonderful collection of (unlicenced?) images - had to take a second look at the second to last one http://ouimaimai.pixnet.net/blog/post/24647601

The person who informed me about this is calling them for me as they live there. They are going to ask them to contact me direct so we'll see how that goes.

Result!

Image has been removed, they have put up note about the image being miss-used (with a link back to my site) and also had to restart the voting due to there now bieng a new image in the competition.

I still want to know who entered it though...

Babelfish translation.

Unfortunately we have had observe that two exhibitors in April have used improperly our photograph game. They thought to have flaunt with other people's feathers by sending in godfathers under their own name a photograph of Richard. There the aware entry - which is meanwhile removing to the genomineerde foto' s belonged, we have had let start decide the poll again. As new winner of April a photograph of S. Vogels from to shrink has been added to the IJssel to personal. Up to and including 21 augusts is possible on foto' s are voted.

Not sure about that bit lol.

 

[Richard Peters]

lol, Google did a slightly better job

 

[cowasaki]

But only slightly

Still either was more understandable than the original

I hope they go after Mr April and have him arrested for fraud after paying him his prize.

Threads like these are what makes TalkPhotography so effing great. We may be sad at times, arguing wether Nikon is a gazillion times better than Canon (and wise versa), but whenever a member is in trouble, we stand united. Oh, and @ the U kunt joke, brilliant

I think they are going to leave a horse's head on Mr April's pillow.


Or would it be a sheep's head.
