Capture: Howling at the Moon, in reply to Alex Efimoff,
I just didn't know what to do
Send them all an invoice. Seriously, if it's been on there long enough, and has ended up in print, you're entitled to be paid. The same is true for online of course, but they can then easily remove it, and claim it was a mistake.
It has worked for others I know. Well, one other. Worth a crack?

And THIS is the problem.
I actually asked them, admittedly via open twitter, but reasonably nicely, what the Herald policy was on using photos off social media.
Still waiting.

One of the photos turned out to be from a French artist's book and wasn't even of the 'supermoon'. I wonder how much Herald staff time was wasted sorting out the mess.
Great Petra. I was hoping you would weigh in. It got to the stage where I kind of thought 'sort your shit out!', and then briefly 'shame they removed them' to finally 'well, they obviously have no intention of engaging, so why should I give up my unpaid time and energy banging my head against that particular wall?'
I'm glad I sent a shot across the bow, but there was a reason I chose the title of this post.
The 'moon', as it turns out, is just as inaccessible and inscrutable as ever, no matter how much closer it might seem.

Last night somewhere in between Auckland and Wellington, up above the clouds :)
Amazing. Also, if I'd known you were going to be in Auckland, would have been nice to meet you. Or were you on the way here?

She captures it well I think.
And how. I heard a discussion about the way the Olympics is being used as some kind of anti-terrorist whipping boy. Seems they might be right.

A case like Jackson’s rests more, I think, on things around being a good internet citizen.
I think you could leave out the 'internet' bit, cause this is real life, as Ladyhawke says. ;-)

It is kind of creepy, but also kind of awesome. Werewolf material. ;-)
Also, cheers for comment. Seemed a different angle to capture it from.

Anyway, here's the Moon, the same one others claim as their own', note tsunami in background.
Trust you to bring us back to Earth. I didn't want the whole of the moon...

Why is it any different with photos?
I'm not suggesting they should be allowed do it without permission or attribution. The process of re-tweeting, or re-blogging photographic images does seem to be an area where, while I agree it shouldn't be seen differently, it very much is. Why is that? And how do we do better?
For example, if there was a way I could allay your fears in posting your best pictures on here without them being pilfered, I would gladly do it.

Can I post some #supermoon pics now?
Great. Nice shots.
Thanks for your thoughts too. It is very much a grey area, and like Sacha, it seems we would benefit from some clarification and consistency around the rules of engagement.
But I also understand this is largely wishful thinking, and on a cost-benefit analysis at 1am looking for some pictures for a feature post, poach first, ask later, might seem a reasonable approach.
I imagine someone might have had a few kittens when they discovered one of them had been published in a book though (H/T Petra).
Was this an example of the InterWebz self-regulating?
