    Why I Won’t Use Flickr 

    As much as I would like to use Flickr to show off photo snaps like those over at ShutterCookies.co.uk however yet again unacceptable terms placed on uploaded content, i.e. your carefully crafted photos poncery, make it a no go. This is from Yahoo’s terms of service linked to from Flickr and essentially means once you’ve uploaded a photo Yahoo will forever, even after deletion (“irrevocable”), have rights to do anything they like with your works for any purpose they deem fit. Uuuum… no.

    10.3. For all other User Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Yahoo! Services, the worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sub-licensable licence to use, distribute, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, publicly perform and publicly display the User Content anywhere on the Yahoo! network or in connection with any distribution or syndication arrangement with other organisations or individuals or their sites in any format or medium now known or later developed. Your User Content and any associated public user profile on the Yahoo! Services may appear on local Yahoo! sites in other countries.

      I’ve just read the Yahoo ToS. Paying particular attention to 10.2, which says “For photos, graphics … “, and 10.3, which says “For all other User Content you submit … “, which very strongly suggests to me that 10.3 is therefore not applicable to photos, and that the section relevant to pictures (10.2), is pretty much the same as the Google terms.

      10.2. For photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available on publicly accessible areas of the Yahoo! Services, you give to Yahoo! the worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive licence to use, distribute, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, publicly perform and publicly display the User Content on the Yahoo! Services:

      a) for the purposes for which that User Content was submitted; and

      b) for the purpose of promoting the Yahoo! property to which the User Content was submitted or the Yahoo! Services anywhere on the Yahoo! network or in connection with any distribution or syndication arrangement with other organisations or individuals or their sites.

      This licence exists only for as long as you continue to include the User Content on the Yahoo! Services and will end at the time you remove, or Yahoo! removes, the User Content from the Yahoo! Services.

      10.3. For all other User Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Yahoo! Services, the worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sub-licensable licence to use, distribute, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, publicly perform and publicly display the User Content anywhere on the Yahoo! network or in connection with any distribution or syndication arrangement with other organisations or individuals or their sites in any format or medium now known or later developed. Your User Content and any associated public user profile on the Yahoo! Services may appear on local Yahoo! sites in other countries.

    Alpha Blues Gig, Leeds Uni [Photopost] 

    Sunday night was the Alpha Blues charity gig at Leeds Uni put on by Steffi Bontoft.

    These are my snaps from the night using a shiny lens with a nice big aperture  to try and capture the feel of the event without whiting everything out with a flash.  Make sure you click the More link below to see all the photos :) (unless you came here from the Twitter / Facebook link in which case you can already see them).

    Macro Garden 

    Playing with some new macro lenses on a sunny afternoon (between turning burgers and sausages on a short-notice BBQ – with luck the first of many of the year!).  The grass and a bush waiting for it’s foliage to return seemed like as good a thing as any to experiment with.

    Photos – Yet more snow! 

    A little more snow appeared over night – still impeding many methods of transport, but the day appears to have calmed a little as it’s worn on.  Despite what the weather folk say I expect the snow to be less of a problem the next few days.  Shall retract that if I’m wrong :P

    Anyway guess what!  I took more photos!  What a surprise!  A house over the road made for a nice sunset pic as Sol beat it’s retreat.

    Photos: Comparison, the snow got thicker! 

    A few posts ago I threw up a photo of the clothes line at the back of my place with some ice on it and a fence with some pretty dustings on it.  Well, here’s an update to how snowed under those same two scenes are today along with a couple of other generic pretty snow-scenes.

    December Snow 

    It’s been wonderfully snowy the last few days.  Good times!  It’s involved a couple of terrifying driving moments though.  The hill at the end of road here is kinda steep but suddenly gets even steeper right at the top.  Lost traction for a few mortifying moments earlier today.  Think I’ll be leaving well alone next time it’s like that.  Could make getting work tomorrow (well, this morning as I’ve scheduled this post to go live tomorrow) interesting O_0  Anyway here’s some photos of the nice snow and ice times.
