[QUOTE="AC016, post: 94243, member: 9619"] First of all UmarPK, your opening statement about being surprised that anyone would want to steal our work, will not make you any friends around here. Photography is a form of art. Pictures are somebody's creation, despite what you may think. It has taken them time and effort to take the photos they took. For the bird photos i posted up here, i sat for hours in 12 degree celcius weather to get the birds i wanted to get. Not only that, but i took far more photos than i posted and sifted through them on my PC to see which ones were the ones i wanted to keep - with a 400mm MF lens with no VR, that tends to happen. Therefore, with all that time and energy spent on taken photos, why on earth would i not be pissed off if someone came along and claimed it as theirs?? Yes, most of on here are "hobbyists". But we take pride in what we do! We actually care about what happens to our photos, pieces of art to us that should not be taken for granted. [/QUOTE]
