    The View from the Hill

    Took a walk on the Malvern Hills yesterday morning.

    The View from the Hill

    Came back with this amongst a few others.

    I like the composition, colours, patterns, and mystery but I'm not so fond of the eye grabbing commercial advertisement.

    Re: The View from the Hill

    Unfortunately I'm fed up of having pictures stolen from the internet, so after many years without, I took the decision to add a visible watermark to my images.

    I wish it wasn't necessary but it does seem to have reduced the problem.

    My photography is non commercial in nature but I still don't want other people, like the National Trust for one example, making money from my work without paying me for it.

    That's great Wayland - and different. The way you have used the intersection of the two roads bottom centre is inspired.

    I occasionally check to see if any one has stolen my images using the Google facility but I've detected none so far. Don't know whether to feel slightly miffed or not. My photography clearly doesn't appeal.

    No, it's pretty straight really.

    Not even much PP after LightRoom.

    The mist was washing in and out like an ethereal tide so I was just shooting views from the hill and every shot was different.

    That, Gary, is a beauty. I tried to get something along the same lines at the weekend ... and failed miserably. Wonderfully composed.

    Both Google and Tin Eye missed my shot that the National Trust were using.

    In the end I was tipped off by someone that knew my work and just stumbled across it.

    They had profited from it for over a year and when confronted, just gave me a lame excuse and took it down with no offer of recompense.

    They knew darned well that I couldn't afford to go up against their legal department even though it was a clear case.

    It was that that made me finally put a watermark on my images. I hate the fact that I need to do it because I much prefer the pictures without but I'll be dammed if I make it that easy for them again.

    Adore the lines and patterning you've composed... loving the quality of light. Wonderful photo Gary!
