I know I've been offline too long, but is it really necessary to splat tags across perfectly good images like that?

Don't we still hunt image pirates down and ... oh! We can't talk about that anymore, huh?

Hi,

i am always ready to provide scans to "good guys", but am always pissed when I see a Pic someone paid real money for, copied and pasted without a credit. Whole pages of kaiserscross have been copied and pasted elsewhere... so I try and make their life harder. Also the guys who sell pics on ebay with "this is a print of a copy of a photo" hidden somewhere in the decsription need to have something to stop them copying pics...

Other Photos are bought with a specific purpose in mind, and on occasion cost a pretty penny... having the photo used elsewhere may defeat that purpose. then there are 2 solutions... If you want to post it but make sure it will not be used elsewhere, Tag it... The other solution is to not show it and hide it in a drawer until you use it for whatever the specific purpose is. I think then the tags are better.

I remember when Ed flipped out about tags, but at the same time I think he had deleted his website to avoid people using some of his pictures... ;-)

I would kill for one of those tunics!!

I've only seen one from the regiment in the flesh and it was the very late Bluse with the collar patches, metal "S's" and Bavarian blue/white Rautenborte. Still, very cool. Photos of regimental members in Blusen are quite scarce.

Here are a couple of skiers...

The picture in the background shows the Schneekoppe mountain, part of the Riesengebirge.

I think that spire is Der Grünten, Kriegsdenkmal, Jäger memorial. These guys must be in Sonthofen.

I am guessing these are Photo studio backdrops... on many of them you can see the floor and the backdrop...

[Chip]

Agreed, but one would guess they are in a local studio. You see a different backdrop of the mountains being used over and over in photos taken in Immenstadt.
