Post Photos at web sites

Well! I hope that everyone that reads this understands. I created the Lightning photo album at Zing.com many months ago and many of the photos there were taken by me. The photos from other Lightning owners were all by invite and I asked each and every owner for approval before I posted. I have many albums there with well over 500 photos and I have been selected by Zing in the past to have them featured too. So! What is my point. I would like the courtesy of being asked when photos are culled,taken, extracted or ripped to be displayed at other web sites. It was mentioned "working your butt off" well what do you think it took to set it all up in the first place and then to organize it into categories too. The real work was already done. My e-mail address was there I could have been asked. I have spoken with many others who take digital photos and was advised many times to use a digital watermark or some other form of a "Brand" now I know why. I will share what I have I believe in a bountiful harvest theory, all can feast at my table. Just ask.

I take it your pretty angry with me. I get a chill just reading your post above.

Is it ok that I used some of the pictures from your site? I asked on another post, but I think you might have thought I wasn't including you.

I am aware of the amount of effort you put into collecting those, and I am not trying to take that away from you.

I only wanted to have a small photo section on my personal web site for people to see when they go there.

I have not linked the page to any part of my site yet because it's not finished & because I don't have full permisson.

You and the other members are the first people to see it, since I posted the direct link. It will not be displayed on my site untill every person has agreed.

I hope your not really pissed, cause god knows I come here everyday and read your posts and actually look up to you.

Hey Blue.
I am not angry with you at all, maybe just a little disappointed nothing more. If you would have asked I would have opened the door nice and wide and said have at it. You still can. Just do me a favor on your web page just mention/link the Zing Lightning album so that other people can find out about all of these cool Lightnings too. Have you seen the number of views that the Lightning album gets at Zing. Over 2000, the only albums that get more hits there are the Girly Photos in the fashion albums there. Oh no! I don't think that I should have said that. Now the "babe pages" will be over 10,000.
PS. Mike, go have at it. Need help just ask. I have over 20 gig of auto related photos, hundreds of photos on almost every make of car.

Your site was added as a link over 2 months ago. It is listed under:

Hi BaBolt...

I guess I need to apologize also... I posted the photo of Sal's killer cold-air intake in an earlier thread on this board. In the future I will ask first, and credit your site!

Sincereley,

Brian

I know that you linked to my web page (Thank you). I monitor the hits, I can tell you where everone comes from at my site. Believe it or not I have had hit from all of the major continents (exception Antarctica). What I asked that you do is link to the Lightning Album at Zing.com (directly). That way if people want to see more Lightnings after viewing the ones at you page they can just click on an icon and go right to Zing. They don't need to go to my site for that. Thanks.
PS. No need to reply here, write me off line if you wish. I really will help you.

No need to apologize. Everyone here can use the photos at Zing and feel free to add to the collection. I do not have a problem with that. All that I ask is that if you post them to your private web pages is that you ask and also tie the link back to zing.com. I have tried to make sure that all the Lightnings at Zing have their owners names and credit attached to them. No need to credit my site, people will figure it out. Nuff said. Let this thread die.
