PostPosted: 08:18 - 11 Feb 2013    Post subject: Please help me win a photo competition!! Reply with quote

Hey guys/girls,

I have entered a Facebook competition to win a go pro..
The idea is to upload a photo and the photo with the most Facebook 'likes' wins the Go pro (entries closed now)
I would be most grateful if you followed the link below and liked my picture, it should take you directly to the pic, if not its a picture of me in blue/white/black leathers on a yam r6!!

Thanks Smile

Given that it's not the best photo there I voted for another. You may've shot yourself in the arse by posting and requesting votes. Rolling Eyes

Indeed, sadly all these things are basically a competition of "who can do the most advertising for us" - just that the people who don't come first don't get paid Smile.

That's a mediocre set of pics in that album. Can't say that many of them impressed me. Maybe if you're after our votes then you should stipulate that if you win you'll offer your prize to the best photo on this site, following a vote of course. I've seen some cracking pics on here. Very Happy

Seems the trick is to have a bird posing on the bike. The one i did see had 24 "likes" and she was fully clothed!! However i voted for you anyway but dont think you have a cat in hells chance of winning.

Of course there are some genuine people here, you know who you are!!

Its a shame.

It was 'by Peter Wileman Photography' - so taken by a pro. But a pro that does thousands a day, so most are rather utilitarian.

So you can load up a picture taken by someone else and win? Great... I'll have a flick through Shutterstock or Google Images and see what I can use.

Err, actually I do see now that it says 'a picture of me' in the original post (I'd glazed over by then Smile ), so yes, err joke a bit more apparant Smile.

To be fair, I think if he took that picture of himself riding a bike, it'd go up from 'mediocre' to 'damn impressive', what with riding the bike at the same time!
(Though, saying that, with some careful planning and a remote release, far from impossible.)

Not sure where you read a load of bullshit... bit too touchy, methinks.

I thought your picture was a bit 'samey' and not very appealing, though it probably means a lot more to you. The one I voted for had more feeling to it.

Sending people to the link has probably yielded more votes for your competitors so, in that respect, you did shoot yourself in the arse.

Not worth a tizzy-fit and leaving BCF IMveryHO but, hey-ho!

So the competition is encouraging copyright infringement? I'm sure all of the entrants sought permission for onward publication and use for personal gain from the original photographers...

In this case, I would presume he's paid for the picture, which probably includes such rights.

Just checked and the ones online do include watermarks as you'd expect.

Also, it says:
Quote:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

COPYRIGHT: Purchased images are for personal use only. Commercial use of images (whole, in part, or modified in any way) is prohibited without prior permission from Peter Wileman Photography, except on personal web pages for which credit must be given to Peter Wileman Photography placed on the image or directly next to the image.Images not for resale


If he wins, suspect then it could be being used for 'commercial' purposes - but until then I reckon it's ok.
He does, as requested, credit the photographer.

Overall - I'd be more irked by the way it encourages generally spammy behaviour than copyright infringement; to be fair, you could say the same for 'most any photo competition where the photo can be of you taken by someone else.

I think he means that the body is positioned by a "46" sticker, thus proclaiming the rider to be a massive cock.

No, he means body positioning is shit.

Head needs to be down near mirror/handlebar bringing the torso off the bike.
