Occasionally I take photos of the milky way. You won't believe how many other feckers can be found copying my photos.

Are you joking, Barney?

Different crops, different blur in the water, just for a start.

There is A view of Durham Cathedral from the river bank taken beside the old boathouse which almost has  footmarks indicating, ‘take from here.’

That's a great picture, thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention! Dropped a like and an FPI suggestion 👍🏻

It's a beautiful location.. I'm sure lots of people have taken a photo there. I'm also pretty confident that most models on here will have numerous photos in their portfolio that look similar but taken by different photographers.

Unfocussed Mike it looks from Google maps like you can really only stand on the road next to the bridge to take that shot.

I did look for hopes of doing self photography there but it would be impossible I think and I can't see a way down to the Riverside unless you're scrambling which I'm too old for. Lol

Same venue, but different composition and so I would question plagiarism!


Couldn't you have at least asked the bridge to do a different pose this time? 😉

How many photographers on here shoot nudes at a particular well-known viaduct?  :-)

Personally I don't see anything wrong with taking an image of somewhere that you find aesthetically pleasing, even if you were drawn to the location due to seeing an earlier image from someone else.

Doesn't it just demonstrate that the 'original' thousands of images had something right about them in terms of inspiration.

How many have shot the inside of a lens cap?

You mean a bit more arch? :)

I find it rather ironic that in his profile notes the OP states we do not have permission to share his images.

But he's quite happy to share others.
