Haven't posted in a while as I had put the camera down to concentrate on other things. Might be posting some stuff soon. Am a little upset that one of my prints was rejected as in my opinion the subject fell under public domain and is fair game for photographers. Shouldn't a landmark, that everyone and their uncle photographs be considered fair game? If it is copyrighted then who holds the copyright to it? Is Mount Rushmore or Stonehenge a copyrighted site or image? If I take a photograph of a geyser in a National Park who do I see about getting the release? It just seems wrong that a historical landmark on public display should be considered a copyright protected image. I took the photograph, I chose the perspective and the settings on my camera. That is all I can claim in that type of image, I have never claimed ownership of the object represented. Well nuf said, I can rant and rave all I like it won't change the fact that someone removed my print because they considered it an infringement of a copyrighted image. The Eiffel Tower is apparently protected against photographers who might want to get creative with it.
