What Is That Photo?

i believe that all'f 'em i've used here'r my own photos 'n i dribble such'n the caption part. most always've my watermark thingy'n 'em's well. that mr. gus, aka @cerrios , 'tis quite the whiz, eh? i fear i'm too lazy to tinker with pic's myself. the son's takin' some'n removed power lines 'n such fer other projects i've done. those unavoidable thingies that screw'p an otherwise lovely sunset photo :) i dunno why folks don't credit their pics, but've run 'cross many who don't. 're ya sayin' i ought to be puttin' such info't the end'f my discussions's well? to stave off any confusion? ya know how pitiful my memory's these days, lol. big hugs 'n love!

Great idea. I'd like to see this too. I think in my posts I mostly mention that the photo is either Vince's or mine but I'll take more care in future to ensure I credit it properly. I always say if I've used a photo from Wikimedia which is where I mostly go if I don't have a personal suitable one.

I also see a lot of posts like that. Sometimes it is clear that the picture is not theirs. I do believethat there is an option to add a CAPTION to your photo, although I am not sure why more people don't.....Nice photo by the way, is it yours? (Lol - just kidding!)

All my pictures are taken by me.

The another user I think must have some explaining to do. OMG! Never credit or explain some photos I posted. I will do next time.

I always put an image credit in the caption if the photo is not mine. Some photos that are legal to reused require a credit. If it is public domain (no credit required) I state that. If it is mine, I may not say so. Hey, that could be the basis for a discussion.

That graphic is just fabulous. Some people are so clever.

I try to always remember and credit my photos. It is something we should all know and do since most of us are writers and do this all of the time.

@jatoUK - Ms Janet - Astonishment to be in an admonshment. A person never knows what they will encounter within an @jatoUK post on MyLot. I actually got onto this page on MyLot because I was testing an "ISO CD" (boot-up CD) that I just finished making for one of my buddies. Wanted to see if the CD actually worked. It did. The way MyLot works on my setup here is that the "hottest" new posts show up on the page before anything else. There was that picture of your "crazy daisies" plus your well-received post about properly captioning the images we all use with our postings. Although I do appreciate your mentioning that I "made" that image for you, the real facts are that it was you, Ms Janet, who photographed the flowers in your garden and that all I did was to stick your photo into the computer program here and send you the image that the program made for us to enjoy. My only skill is that of being frisky on the keyboard enough to save the resulting image on the disk drive. I would do the same thing for the Pope in Rome, the governor of Alaska, or you (again) should you want another strange photo image of otherwise pretty flowers. Enjoy your day, Good Friend(s), Gus Kilthau p.s. The image I placed here right now was made from a Pixabay image of a brass hardware bolt - also run through my old computer. (See - I read your post...)

Even before reading your post here, once I opened it up I knew exactly who it was did the image for you as I've seen his work. He even shared somewhere the site he uses to get that effect and I did at least one of them myself. I agree with you, though, that it would be much easier to put the credit for the photo where it allows after uploading the image here. Then when mousing over the image it would clue us in before we read the post.

Your photo is beautiful. That is a wonderful creative edit. I use photos for inspiration about what to write about. I agree with you and hope I always tell what the photo is, I like to know too.

i post my own pictures whether they are good to look at, or not. i just have to be original with the photos i place in my discussions. surely you know how i look like, so no guessing games for me.

I always credit it. Sometimes I forget and notice it after submitting the discussion so I edit it.

I try to always tell in my post if I take it or even if it is a Pixabay picture.

Yes I agree it is nice to know who is in the pictures we see.

If you run the cursor over the photo, the creditation does sometimes come up.

Okay, I'm guilty of not always saying who's who in my photos. I forget. I'll try to do better from now on. I do mention when they're from Pixabay. By the way, I do love the photo.

All my photos are from Wikimedia free images. Yes I have not been crediting them - would do in future, thanks - siva

All photos that I've posted in my Discussions are my own.
