The other day, I got interesting Flickr mail. It was from a Wikipedia writer, who wanted to use a Flickr image of mine for an article. Whoote! I was pretty excited. One thing I found odd, was that the licensing should only be Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike. You can’t have the No Deriviatives clause, neither can you have the No Commercial Use clause (why? Is Wikipedia becoming commercial?). So I went thru a little “re-licensing” process for that particular image.<\/p>\n
Anyways, not one of my proudest shooting moments, here’s Melanie C<\/a>, from the Spice Girls. You’re very nicely attributed<\/a> and all, so I’m pretty happy with my image being in Wikipedia. Shot at 200mm, f\/5.6, with a really beginner lens, aka the 55-200mm (yes, long before the days I had the 70-200\/2.8).<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: wikipedia<\/a>, photography<\/a>, melanic c<\/a>, creative commons<\/a><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
