Carbuncle's Blog

Terms of Use (Photographs)

My intention when publishing my own photographs here at Carbuncle is to make them freely available for any use.

I don’t ask for a link back to Carbuncle’s Blog but for those of you that would like to say thank you for this resource, a link back is a good way to say thanks and also ensures that Carbuncle’s Blog is shared with others, and I always appreciate the compliment.

Terms of Use (Public Domain Photographs)

This is an example of the blurb I use to release the photographs into the public domain… this blurb came from one of the previously published photographs:

I place this Carbuncle’s Blog photograph of the Hanover Street roadsign in London in the public domain, as far as I am able, and allow any use including commercial.

There is no need to ask permission to use this London photograph of a street sign, if it is of use to you, but if you really, really want to say thank you – why not link to Carbuncle’s blog so others can access the public domain photographs here?

You should excercise some caution if you use a photograph containing a recognisable person or a trademark. Although I have placed my interest in the photograph in the public domain, there may still be legal implications for the free use of some public domain photographs.

At the very least I will create a link to this Terms of Use page in future.

Carbuncle’s Public Domain Photographs

Most of the photographs that I publish on Carbuncle’s Blog come from my outings and walks in and around Central London.

I would be glad to take any specific photograph of anything / place in the area – why not leave a comment saying it would be good to see something you want?

No promises, but if I have time……….
