Summer exhibition in the Loire Valley, France.

Myself and Cath are returning to the Loire Valley, France in April where I will be having a summer photographic exhibition at Le Moulin Fort Camping.

I'm taking a half dozen canvases, about 10 mounted prints and a few framed prints.
Orders can also be fulfilled from my website for direct delivery across Europe
The main subject will, of course, be Chateau Chenonceau, but there will be some variety.

Staying legal with photos posted on your own internet posts.

You've written a fantastic post about your visit to France and just need a couple of pictures to help pad it out and be more interesting, after all, 'a picture is worth a thousand words', so do you just grab one from a Google search?

Yes you can... but be prepared for the owner to come after you for infringing their copyright after they find it being used without permission on your internet platforms.

The best way to obtain pictures to use within your own web content, be that on Facebook, Blogs or any other internet platform (within reason), is to buy a licence which will cover you for the use.

I allow my own images to be downloaded for such uses in two sizes on my website here... mickflynnimages.

They are all provided instantly, do not contain a watermark and are ideal to illustrate your stories and articles.

There is a choice of download size which will cover all your needs and keep you legal. Images can be searched by keyword using the search function from my extensive …

Here we go again with blatant Image theft.

Believe me, I don't sit around all day waiting for people to take my pictures and use them for their own profit, but, it still astounds me that journalists simply don't seem to think there will be any penalty if they help themselves to an image off the internet, with not the slightest attempt to qualify the ownership of the intellectual property.

Most of my photographic output goes directly to stock, but some of it is shared on social media, by choice but with no licence for use by anyone else.

The ones shared on social media are usually on facebook on closed groups, and despite what people thinking and saying that Facebook can do whatever they want with your images it is simply not true.

I retain copyright and do not allow licensing of my images when I share them on Facebook, so, if you take them for a commercial venture you are infringing my copyright and stealing my property.

Now, if you were to just share them to a local history group on facebook I might not be bothered as…

Night shooting with Canon 6D and Magic Lantern

A little bit of night shooting at the campsite yesterday evening, ideally I would have shot a little earlier whilst there was some light in the sky, but I forgot and left it a little late for these test shots.

Canon 6D assisted by Magic Lantern.

We use an ANPR system for our entrance and exit barriers and certain other gates throughout the site.

I'll be re-shooting these scenes hopefully when we get a nice clear evening, and I'll have to change the angle or shoot earlier for the last picture as the whites in the reception building have 'blown out', and I was unable to recover detail from the RAW file.
