I really don't want to encourage photo editting. I actually prefer raw candids. And I really want a common physical object...because a common physical object is going to impose some general consistency on how things are framed and takes much effort out of the eventual editting down of the material into something like a book. If you encourage too much abstraction when you set up the parameters as to what you ask for, then you going to make it much more likely to end up with images you simply have to throw out for some reason. You also need to realize that it might not actually be legal to take pictures of things like sculptures in some circumstances and use them in commercial ways without the owner or artist's permission. Knowing what is allowed can be complicated, and I'd really not encourage that sort of thing, and end up having to track down whether or not that object in the image is something we can reproduce a likeness of commercially. Totally not worth the pain. If we do it.. the parameters need to be quite strict as to what we can accept. It needs to be reasonably framed (portrait framing we can give guidance on that... none of that 200 ft away next to a panoramic image stuff which focuses on the vista and not the people) individuals or small groups...who expressly give consent to have their images used under a CC license we prefer. It need to have a common physical object that we are sure can be photographed because we picked it. And as little else as possible that is distinguishable in the background that holds a risk of having its image protected for commercial use. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
