Warning - Watermark your images

To all,

It's a shame, but there are unscrupulous people that trawl the internet, including our little piece of it, and they steal our images and then post them 'for sale' as click bait.

All the images that I've posted over the past couple of days have now appeared on Instagram, including AP's exhibition pieces - idiots!

Unfortunately that's game over for me. No more pics as it's too much hassle.

Best to all.

Gary.

Watermarking pictures is always a good idea... but expecting privacy about something that we willfully posted on the internet may not be ideal.

Very true!

Even if no harm done to my privacy but a misuse of a picture for commercial reasons…At the end it is not a huge problem and I will continue to share my passion with fellow passionate TRF members.
