[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 160103, member: 10543"] Speaking of photo credits, I was searching on the Internet for a photo of a specific location on a railroad and was amused to find -- you guessed it -- my own photo! It was posted by me on a site solely devoted to a certain type of railroad structure and that's fine. I haven't completely decided how I feel about all of this, but I've reached an age where I am finding increasing enjoyment sharing my slides with others. To have my rail slides locked away in the belief that I'm going to sell them some day to a new generation seems more and more ridiculous. What would make me angry is if I saw one of my photos posted with someone else's name on it as the owner or photographer. I waver on placing my name or initials on my photos as posted, doing it sometimes and not other times without any logic. At least with the D5100's Image Content Function I can set something in place while I decide on whether to mark my photos or not. One unexpected dividend of marking a photo with my name came from a webmaster who had been contacted by a high school friend of mine after my friend happened to see one of my pictures! It had been over 30 years since we had seen each other. [/QUOTE]
