It's the weekend - time for more Bonaire pictures! All u/w shots taken on Bari Reef (I'm starting to think I don't dive any other site....!!)

I cant take it anymore.....I want to be you!! I love my photos until I see yours, then I'm so disappointed in mine. I'll keep trying as long as you keep posting!!

Wonderful, Dixie!

ok. Now I really am jealous. The flounder is amazing. I have been trying to get a picture like that for years and here it is in your photo shots. I think you are part fish and these guys just pose for you and they run away from the rest of us. We will have to start calling you the Fish Whisperer. I can't believe these. They are beyond great. You can open up a gallery at our Condo at any time, the only cost is FREE lessons. What the hell is your secret to capturing such fantastic photos?

Just an added note. You really don't have to dive anywhere else. Bari Reef is the greatest.

I love Bari Reef - there's so much to see there and I can sit in one spot for 5-10 minutes to get pictures (need a patient buddy to do that though!).

Good point Jerry - consider them copyrighted, personal use only!

Dixie -- you continue to amaze !! Thanks again and again and again for sharing !!

Thanks Becky - I did understand Jerry but I really didn't want to repost all the ones already on here with my name on them. That could be next week's project though!

Seeing these pictures, it's hard to believe I was JUST THERE. It's like watching a movie with a famous place versus seeing it with your own eyes. There's a certain magic in your photos, Dixie.

The fact that you took the picture constitutes a copyright.

Thanks Grunt! You're definitely right about copyrighting. We can only do so much to protect our work but with software like Photoshop, etc. people can do almost anything with a photo these days.

Don't tempt me Jerry....!!

Please put a (C) on pic's that you don't want to be used by others.

Dixie, your pic's are special, protect them.

Thanks Jerry - I'll repost them all properly marked ASAP.

Hi Dixie,

Dave - Here's what Dixie posted in another thread when I asked a similar question:

By Eric M. "CamMan" (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1256) on Monday, July 12, 2010 - 11:53 am: |
Grunt is right. The mere action of writing something or taking the picture constitutes a copyright. I've written scripts for movies and while I archive them with a company for proof that it is my intellectual property, it is not actually necessary. Just makes suing a thought thief a lot easier.

To add to Eric, anything you do is along the lines of discouragement. Nothing will deter someone who actually willfully decides to use your photos without permission. Hopefully you can catch them, but you certainly can't do much to deter them without ruining your images with a giant name stuck in the middle. On the other hand, putting a small copyright and name in the corner will help deter those who simply don't think about it or would use it no additional steps are needed (cropping the image, etc.) Dixie - I noticed you reposted some images yesterday to thread #2. Just wanted to let you know those all came up as "Your Image Here" for me. I think something got messed up in the process.
