Anybody considering the use of Skydrive for photo storage/sharing should understand the following extract from the Skydrive contract:-

Quote:
If you share content in public areas of the service or in shared areas available to others you've chosen, then you agree that anyone you've shared content with may use that content. When you give others access to your content on the service, you grant them free, nonexclusive permission to use, reproduce, distribute, display, transmit, and communicate to the public the content solely in connection with the service and other products and services made available by Microsoft. If you don't want others to have those rights, don't use the service to share your content.


Full Terms & Conditions / Service Agreement here.

I imagine that other 'cloud' service providers have similar clauses, 'though I've not investigated any others.
That only applies if you use the sharing tool and of course they would need that in their agreement for then to share files.

So long as you don't use the share tool then that clause is irrelivant anyhow.

I find SkyDrive very useful along with drop box too...

Great detail and sharpness, like number 1 sharpness of the kestrel and the composition.

Sorry, but I thought this was a photography forum!


Or is this more about jealousy? I notice some people are quite happy to photograph sporting events but seem to think that the rest of us should not? I think someone has an ulterior motive! Perhaps we should stay at home and swoon when we see his shots?
Is that aimed at me??? I have no jealousy with regards to photography. I certainly have no ulterior motive and I certainly don't expect anyone to swoon over my work.

I have photographed one sports event and have no intention of shooting anymore sporting events.

If I was to go to the olympics as a punter then the camera would stay at home just like it does when I go to a concert for pleasure. I want to enjoy the show without having to look through a thousand 3 inch screens trying to capture a dot on the stage. The majority of people at these type if events just go for an I was there photo and totally forget about getting lost in the emotion of the event before them.

That's what my comment was aimed at.

I love the camera on my Nokia lumis, best feature every photo gets uploaded instantly to my cloud storage so I never have to worry about losing them...

Was goingthrough my archive today and came across a set of images I took at Glastonbury festival 2010 specifically for making a panoramic with later, well later has now arrived. I simply used Photopmerge within CS6. Really pleased with the result.

This was shot with Pentax k-x, Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 ISO 100 f/8 it was a really sunny day..
