Therefore, if anyone who are interested in helping the Society to update/re-structure the Photo Gallery as well as the Website, please send an email with your contact photo no. to me.   Thanks a lot.   Forrest   Logged FF Forrest FONG BBS Administrator I love Bird Watching!     Gender: Posts: 1123 Enriching the Photo Gallery « Reply #2 on: May 2nd, 2003, 2:44pm » Quote Modify Dear all,   Besides being as a volunteer in assisting the programming or designing works of the photo gallery/Website, you can help to enrich the content of the BBS Photo Gallery by sharing your photos in the BBS.   Hi Samson, all of us know that you are an expert birder and also a professional wildlife photographer in HK. It is however noted that up to this moment, the BBS Photo Gallery is still lacking of your great works. We therefore should be grateful if you could share some of your stunning photos in the BBS for improving both the quality & variety of the Photo Gallery, please.

But due to the fact that my photos had been riped off many times for commercial use in the past (I was even more upset when it seemed like I was the one to blame when I asked for legal action!! ), I try to avoid posting any photo on the web since then.  I have mentioned this in the old format of BBS.   Someone may think this is selfish and it is no big deal to let other people to use the photos.   Others are more generous to allow unlimited usage of on-line photos by others.  To me I am just protecting my valuable properties, which came as a result of years of hardworking and investment, from illegal use.   I also believe only if the photographer values his photographic works, then other people will respect the copyright issue.   I may be wrong, please correct me.  It is very difficult to draw the line between protection of copyright and promotion of birdwatching.  This is another controversial topic to discuss, I guess.   Of course we also need to protect the copyright of the pictures of other photographers if they are to be use formally in the gallery.  I believe the committee have already taken this into consideration, haven't they?     Samson Logged Doing what you like is freedom.
