Looks like someone stole my stock.

Sun Jun 28, 2009, 9:29 AM
  • Mood: Not Impressed
NOTE: I HAVE NEVER POSTED THESE IMAGES ANYWHERE BUT HERE ON DA! SO IF YOU FIND THESE IMAGES ON ANOTHER SITE PLEASE CONTACT ME.

AGAIN, I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER POST THESE IMAGES ON ANY OTHER SITE! THIS INCLUDES FLICKR!

Also, if you SEE anyone using my stock without providing credit on horseland TELL ME. =/


Hi, this is :iconwhisperingwinds::iconwhisperingwinds::iconwhisperingwinds::iconwhisperingwinds::iconwhisperingwinds: . =)


NOTE! If you want a larger pixel size version of these pictures, or ones that aren't sharpened, just ask! The original versions of these pictures are all at 1920x2560, and while I refuse to POST those sized pictures here I am not against sending a larger sized version to you if you want them.

Here's the deal:
-Ask for a larger sized version and I'll send you one at 1280x960 pixels. (Though if I know you well enough or trust you, I will send you a larger size. Though not as large as the ones that are slated for commercial use.)
-However, if you want to use these for commercial uses send me a note to discuss payments and such and I'll send you the 1920x2560 version. =/


=============================================

Note: I'm still in the process of watermarking all my images, so don't be surprised if some have watermarks and others don't. It just takes a LONG time to watermark 400+ images.



June 28th, 2009:

>x( *is NOT happy right now* I'd like to thank :iconhorsemanship: for informing me of the theft. *sighs* I'd just like to state once more so we're all clear, even though it's at the top of my journal, I do NOT post these photos anywhere else but here on dA. So if you see my unedited stock on another site, please TELL ME, because I certainly am not going to be the person who posted it there. =/

*goes back to reporting the thief*

Edit: And Flickr has the most asinine reporting system I've ever seen, bar none.


o.o Er... Bye..

:twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents:
=============================================

Rules:
Just incase someone actually WANTS to use these photos. ^^;
(NOTE: NONE of these rules apply to the people at Sonrise. Why? Because I trust them, I know they aren't going to use a photo or two and not tell me about it, and most of the photos here are of their horses anyways. :P If I catch people pretending to be from Sonrise I will report them.)

1. You may only use these photos for photo-manipulations and as art references, if you want to use them for something else please send me a note on my main account and ask me about it. Taking these photos as they are and reposting them somewhere else however is NOT allowed. (Unless of course you earn my permission. xP) <---- I'd appreciate it if you DON'T post these images on your photobucket account for any reason. I'm going to be VERY strict on this, especially since photobucket allows you to make money off of other people's works without proper permission. -_-
However you MAY save them to your computer for your own uses. Do NOT send them to other people, if someone wants to use my stock just direct them here. =/
Edit: You are also not allowed to make photomanipulations of my images and then turn around and offer the edited images as stock. I will be PISSED if I catch anyone doing this.



:spotlight-left: ^^; ||+|+|+ Alright since some people are getting confused about my rules, I'd like to clarify that I have NO problem with people using my stock for photomanipulations that are destined for usage on RP sites. I only care if people take the UNEDITED stock, meaning my actual photo without any changes what so ever, and post it somewhere else. Once again, I ONLY care about people posting my unedited stock (watermarks and all) somewhere else. I apologize for any confusion my rules have caused.+|+|+|| ^^; :spotlight-right:



2. In addition to the first rule, you are not allowed to use my pictures for commercial purposes without acquiring my permission and discussing possible royalty payments. Yes, getting my permission and paying me ARE required if you wish to use my works for commercial means. (Commercial = Anything where you sell something for real money.) However prints do not necessarily apply to this rule, go to the next one to see my stance on selling prints that make use of my photos. (Do I honestly think anyone will ever use these photos for commercial purposes? Pffft, NO. Seriously, they AREN'T that good. But I've found that it pays to set guidelines for things like this as soon as possible to avoid confusion in the future.)
Small Note: If you want to use these images for something like a not-for-profit fundraiser or something of that sort then only my permission is needed. ^-^


3. I would really appreciate it if you do not sell prints that make use of my photos in some fashion. However, I'm not as strict on this rule as I am on the second one. So while I would appreciate it if you wouldn't post prints making use of my work, I will not throw a fit if you end up doing so. Just give me a link so I can see it. ;3
Royalty payments are NOT necessary when it comes to posting prints here. Just felt I should clarify on that.

4. You
must credit me in some way if you choose to use these photos. A link to this account would be appreciated, but even just saying 'I got this pose/image/etc from ~Nyaorestock' is fine with me as well.

YOU MAY NOT HOWEVER JUST SAY 'I GOT THIS FROM DEVIANTART'.

(I am not above reporting people for not following this rule, though I will give them a second chance to put credit up. If they don't, I WILL report them for stock theft. So PLEASE, put the damn credits up. It's not that friggin' hard, and it IRRITATES me to no end when people don't follow this rule in particular.)

5. In addition to these rules, some of the individual pictures here will also have a few more slapped onto them. This mostly just applies to images I take at horse shows and not using the competition numbers the riders/horses wear in the shots.

6. Please tell me if you use these images. ^__^ I would really like to see what you all use them for.


Sorry for the long list of rules... o__O

=============================================

Warnings:
-I do own a fairly good camera, but it needs a new battery for it to start working again.. Seeing as I'm lazy, it will be MONTHS until I finally get off my ass and buy one for it.... So until then I will be taking shots with my mother's digital camera, which is good but doesn't take the best photos in the world. Meaning there WILL be blurring in a lot of these photos. (And sadly I can never really tell which photos are going to be affected by blurring until I actually load them into my computer... >__> My mother's camera is rather finicky..)

-Most of these photos will be of Arabian horses, so if you want to find a large amount of images of other breeds I suggest you look elsewhere. However! I do have quite a few pictures of Quarterhorses, Percherons, Paints/Pintos, and so on hidden in the recesses of this gallery. (Also, there are some pictures of things other than horses in my gallery as well. [The folders for them are after all my other ones in the gallery.])

-These images ARE enhanced and sharpened in photoshop in order to make them more appealing and easier to work with. However, the editting beyond that is minimal at best. Not all images were given the same amount of editting though, and may look more or less saturated than ones that were taken only seconds before.

-Also, I do NOT watch people on this account unless they also have a stock account that I happen to enjoy looking through. =/ So don't feel bad if you watch me but never get a notice of my doing the same to you. I'm more than happy to watch people on my main however.


-That's all I can think of for now... o.O

:iconr-esound:
at least you've caught the person.
:iconnyaorestock:
Yeah, I'm happy that at the very least someone told me about it before things got any worse. I just hope that this is the last one I'll ever have to deal with. o_x; Too bad that's probably just wishful thinking.

:iconr-esound:
it is wishful thinking, but a lot of them are young kids who just don't understand copyright law. if you talk to them they're usually ok with it, but every so often you get a brat who won't budge. it's just horrible when adults do it though.
:icondignifiedsoul:
Ugh, so far I haven't had to deal with someone taking anything of mine. I really don't want to deal with it so I'm grateful. But, at least this was caught early before it started spiraling out of control.
:iconnyaorestock:
You're right, and I really do hope that they do turn out to be someone who doesn't understand that what they did was not acceptable. I'm more than willing to forgive and forget in those cases because no harm was really meant.

It is horrible when it's an adult that does these things though. Normally when you're of legal age you've already been given heard about copyright infringement and all that it might entail. Even if you didn't most colleges seem to go out of their way to inform their students about it, so it's hard for an adult to claim they didn't know what they were doing was wrong. o__x

You're lucky to have no had to deal with it yet, and I hope that you never have to. =)
I wouldn't say it was caught early since all of the stolen photos were uploaded months ago, which is why I raged, but I am happy that at least it was brought to my attention before anymore of my stock was uploaded. It's nice to know that there are people out there who are kind enough to inform others about copyright infringement of their works when they see it. ^_^

:iconr-esound:
in all honesty, i used to steal pictures when i was 9-12 simply because i didn't know. someone took the time to explain that to me and i am very grateful to them. it's such a compliacated issue though, it would be easier if there was a place that people could put good quality horse photos that anyone could use for any purpose - somewhere people could go to use them for anything. and pro-photographers could put a few shots up to advertise their work for free, for all those younger children who can't really understand the copyright law. adults don't really have an excuse though - but it's even harder trying to explain that to them when you find they speak a foreign lanuage XD
:iconmeihua-stock:
you should hook yourself up with an account from tineye.com, they do reverse image searching, try it out

--
visit my gallery for photographs of animals (especially birds), plants, cityscapes, and more!
:nerd: my main account is =meihua
:iconnyaorestock:
That's a wonderful service, thanks for telling me about it! O_O *bookmarks it* Thank you so much! :glomp:
