    Great idea. I think it's been mentioned in the past by members that cl's should show more images.

    I'll now have to dig out some entries.

    IMO this is a great idea.  One point though. The photos should be recent, ideally taken this year. CL's may have changed over the years and the viewer may not get the right impression of an individual CL  if legacy pictures are submitted

    Just a question about the prizegiving.  Is the cost of travel to London and overnight accomodation included in the prize.

    I would hate to have to turn down the prize when I do win, just because I live in a different nation from London and the travel costs etc would outprice the prize.

    sorry I don't get it. Why not, what other plan do you have for this snapshot of a CL how much money are you going to lose by not being able to sell this fabulous picture accrpss the world. Its just a picture of a CL

    Presumably the Club will need to get consent from the CL owners to do anything with these photos given that the rules by definition imply that they will have been taken on private land.

    It is also normal in such competitions to be a little more prescriptive in what is meant by a "Professional Photographer".

    I haven't one suitable but if I did I would submit it quite happily, as for not being able to do anything else with it I'm sure I could still look at my snapshot on my computer occasionally, which is after all my total interest in taking photos.

    This type of request always attracts negative comments regarding the T&C's, but its a standard thing and we all have a choice.

    Agree and accepted. I think that it would help members to be able to see what a particular site under consideration looked like. And yes I know that we can see it on google earth but I am talking about now & at ground level. K  is correct though it needs to be kept up to date.

    Now just wait for all the arguements about Google earth etc!

    Copyright is retained by the photographer but what is the point of that if you have granted the promoter an
    exclusive licence thus preventing you using the image elsewhere.  Change the word to
    non-exclusive please.   

    Well,  the  easy  way  around  this  is  to  take  two  steps  to  the  left  or  right  and  take  another  photo  !!  Very  similar,  but  not  the  same Wink

    Agreed  DD,  exactly  the  same  with  the  "CountryFile  Calendar"  photo  competition  tho'  --  years  of  complaints  I  believe  and  yet  they  just  seem  to  ignore  The  Moral  View  !

    Losing your ability to market a picture is bearable if you win the prize as you have been rewarded. The also-rans just lose.

    What you say is correct ABM but I think that what they are doing is fundamentally immoral.  Giving a cheap prize to one winner to get exclusive rights to hundreds if not thousands, of images is just not right.  

    Perhaps we who are in the know should submit as many naff photographs as we can so that the perpetrators of this scam are overwhelmed with having to sort and categorise them.  Might not even need to be a photograph of a CL !

    Could not agree more DD.

    Come on CC, if you are wanting photos for commercial use pay the going rate. Photo competitions with T&C's like this are just a scam.

    you lot must have some absolutely amazing photographs of fields if you feel that they hold such worldwide value. I  submitted a picture of a field with a caravan in the background and a rather nice rainbow. This was captured on my phone and not edited in
    any way, I thought it rather nice BUT I don't think anyone other than the CL owner who I emailed a copy or the CC would be THAT interested. I would be intrigued to see the   potentially world famous pictures that some of you are so keen to protect.

    Photo's for commercial use have a price, just google photo libraries. The CC are trying to get a whole heap of photos for virtually nothing.

    Some of us do take reasonable photo's and sell them through these photo libraries. We are not all pro photographers, many just make a few quid here and there to supplement other income. Many travel writers for magazines do exactly the same. It's not therefore hard to understand why organisations that use photo's sent into"competitions" for commercial purposes are held in contempt. The occasional snapper might not even have considered this.

    By the way spk, I think I know you (Berlingo?) but I cannot send you a pm until the site is upgraded. Best not to give too much away on this forum thoughHappy

    ah,well that is well explained and I see your point now. I am not convinced that it effects the common snapper but I accept it could be a matter of principal if nothing else for some.

     

    correct "berlingo " do we know each other from another forum or in real life??

    Another forum. You once invited me over but I sold the vehicle and bought something else so didn't come. Don't give my other forum name out if you remember as it would identify me very easily.

    Good to hear from you, it's only a matter of time before we are on the same campsite at the same time.Happy

    . . . and having got all these photographs and the rights to them as well, there is nothing to stop the CC selling on the pictures to others.   If an organisation was wanting some photos of caravan(s) who better to approach than The Caravan Club !
