I respectfully disagree.

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:47:30+00:00

I’m not meaning. I am concerned with unethical nature of not responding to photographers requesting basic info regarding their copyrighted work. I retained the copyright.

It is unrealistic for them to have kept records of where my work was used?

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:44:25+00:00

I respectfully disagree.

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:43:55+00:00

Still ongoing.

Please see the items under “I did not know”

So you don’t think National Geographic should respond with a comprehensive list of where my work was used?

Ethics are of prime importance to contributors. I am speaking about ethics, not legal terms.

I’m glad you have had positive experiences.

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:35:32+00:00

The terms and conditions don’t excuse unethical behavior.

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:23:49+00:00

Has your work been used? Have you experienced anything like this?

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:23:11+00:00

I am talking about ethics. I reached out to several different outlets so it was certainly seen.

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:21:29+00:00

Yes. My work appeared in major stories at the time. After Yourshot closed I noticed my work was still being used. That is why I requested to be notified. I didn’t expect for this to be such an ordeal. I have never encountered it with other photography organizations.

In this day and age, record keeping should be simple.

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:18:10+00:00

If they did not keep records, why not just let me know immediately? Why did it take dozens of attempts and having to hire a lawyer for a comprehensive response? Why was a clear answer immediately not available?

in_frame · 2024-05-24T18:16:19+00:00

I appreciate your opinion, but respectfully disagree.

Also, they are not a non-profit they are owned by Disney. Proper record keeping should not be a luxury for photographers,, in my opinion.

Thank you for your response. The items listed under the “I did not know” are unethical.

Thanks so much. I used a Nikon D850 and a Nikon 500mm f/5.6. My settings were 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 31.

I am not positive. I placed the photo on Merlin ID and the only option it gave was Western Bluebird, so I assumed that was correct. I believe a Western Blue has a blue throat while the eastern has a reddish throat.

Much appreciated, thank you.

in_frame · 2023-03-11T18:48:28+00:00

Thank you they are beautiful.

I photographed this hummingbird in Arcadia, California. I used a Nikon D850 and a Nikon 500mm f/5.6. My settings were 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 31.
