Check The License Of Use Of These Fantasy Landscape Photos

By Georgia Diaz


If you are looking for fantasy landscape photos, you should check the internet. There are many photos that are being uploaded on the internet everyday. Some of these pictures are actually really good. But before you use them for your own purpose, make sure to check its copyright.

Some of the materials that you see on the internet especially pictures and articles are copyrighted. Find out about the copyright of the material before using them for your personal purpose. The creative commons is one of the copyright that is being used by many bloggers and other photographers to protect their intellectual property that are found on the internet.

Some people because they give pictures to you for free require that you put a link to their website. It seems logical to do because you did not pay for these pictures and indicating the website of the photographer through its link seems to be the least that you can do. This is to let anyone who happens to see the pictures through your website or blog will know where the pictures came from, who took them.

Other owners of such materials do not mind that their materials are used for any purposes as long as credit is given to them. When unsure about the kind of license that the material has, check with the owner. Contact the owner of the material and ask permission if you can use the content or pictures for your own use.

Of course, the pictures are the owners' intellectual property but the decision as to whether they want to receive money out of it or they simply want to be acknowledged for their work really depends on the individual owner. Consider yourself lucky if the owner of the material only wants to be acknowledged and do not want your money. Here is the zinger.

Most probably you can have the name of the photographer as a footnote in everything that is written in the tarpaulin where the picture is printed. The creative commons license is just one of the many copyright licenses utilized by creative materials owners whose works are available online. Before you grab a picture that you see on the web, make sure to check if this is copyrighted or not.

Know that there are websites that you can check that sell this kind of pictures. Examples of these are stock photos where you pay for the royalties for the use of these pictures. The price of these pictures depends on quality.

Quality can mean resolution of the pictures. High resolution pictures may be more expensive than pictures with low resolution. Choose a good seller of these pictures.

Make sure to get everything in writing. Putting what you and the photographer have agreed when it comes to the usage of his works in writing protects both of you from any untoward circumstances in the future. The quality of the fantasy landscape photos must also be good so that they are worth whatever you give in exchange for its use.
