morning all

i use a few photography forums and a few section in other forums, and im seeing a growing trend.

here, there are lots of pro and very competent toggers, taking exceptional images and i rarely ever see a watermark.

then i go to a photography section on a car forum, and there are hundreds of people posting poor to mediocre images, all with water marks across them, or huge names at the bottom.

why does it seem that people that take great photos dont bother, and people that are new to it think they are "Hot *****" and copywrite all there stuff.

rant over :nuts:
 
I don't want people stealing my pictures claiming they took them i'm referring to self portraits by the way ;)
 
I've recently started adding watermarks to images that I think are good.
Only ones that I'm going to display either here, or Flickr.
Nothing would upset me more if I found one of my shots was being used somewhere without my permission.

Anyone can use my shots for anything, if they ask. I don't want £££ for them (yet :D ) just a bit of recognition would be nice......
