Copyright… is it a Real Thing?

Hi again. So for the week 3 blogging chalenge we have to explain what copyright is.

So what is it? In simple words, copyright is the law that gives the creator of the work the power to say who can use it and for what. But that doesn’t explain all of it. If you happen to go onto google images and just grab a random one, you are in danger of getting a copyrighted image. In which case it is illegal to use for things of your own uses. I personally think the best option for getting copyright free images is just using your own! It’s a really easy way to get images you can be proud of, and also able to use!

For the second part of the post we have to ad a photo we took or created.

Here’s an image I took while I was at my friends cottage. I really like it because the butterfly is BYFAR the most brilliant thing in the landscape, but for some reason it’s not the first thing your eyes are drawn to. You want to lo0k at the patterns of rain in the sand and while doing that you spot the butterfly.

 

For the third part of the post we had to create a slideshow. My slideshow has 3 different pictures. Look at all the pictures and then try to see what animal I’m trying to create.

Leave your thoughts or hints in the comments below. I really don’t mind if you give me something to improve on, I can always use more ideas!

p.s. ( it may not be a “real” animal.)

 

A poem about this… animal:

I was walking along,

pulling my wagon, 

when along came something,

that looked suspiciously like a                    .

It had a scaly back,

and tallons like knives,

and upon the track,

when I looked into it’s eyes.

It set fear in my heart,

and terror in my mind,

and I jumped with a start,

as it came out from behind.

  1. What a great post! I love the pic of the butterfly and you’ve captured the essence of yourself beautifully…. only Kate would notice the cool sand and all the other things – the rest of us just see a butterfly. It’s what I love about you Kate!

  2. Wonderful job Kate, really proud of you. And your magic animal with which you have been fascinated and in love with is captured perfectly. Dragon girl.

  3. Hi my name is Tom and I agree with you about copyright, personally I think it is a very broken law that needs a lot of fixing. There was a youtuber that uploaded one of their own clips and another youtuber stole the clip and used it and made money off it.
    But your blog post is amazing keep up the good blogging.

  4. Kate,

    You are talented as both a photographer and a writer! Your butterfly pic is wonderful, but for me, the best part was the way you described it. I agree with everything you said, especially about the patterns in the sand. I loved your poem! Good rhythm and rhyme. I love that you provided clues so someone could guess your animal (of course, your slide show helped!).

    Good luck with your blog!
