If you remember, I put a bounty on Platinum's pictures and I paid for them!
I did NOT sell these pics to the production company. I supplied them to help generate more exposure for the yachting industry... and I did not ask for credit.
As for other images on YF...
1. We do not post (or allow) hi-res images, therefore they would have no value for commercial reproduction, i.e. magazine or televised media use.
2. The pictures posted on YF remain the property of YF and the person posting them. If an inquiry is received for images that belong to a member, then that member would be notified of the same.
3. YF doesn't sell pictures. We don't even sell promotional items. In contrast, we're having shirts and caps made to *give* to our members.
4. If a request is received for images that were produced, or owned, by one of our builders, then I direct the inquiry to that builder. I have done this on numerous occasions.
As a courtesy to the members who participate at YF, sharing news, useful information, photos or helping others, then I am happy to refer inquires and I encourage an occasional plug (when relavent) for their service. In my book... it's all about reciprocation.
