Welcome to use anything off my site (http://www.mitchleblanc.com) and take a look at X-img too, there are more nice ones there... maybe you want pure NS ones? In that case I can't help.

I think you should use the one titled 'Unknown Gem' on Mitch's site- it's from boulderfest, so it's got NS content... really nice shot.

Kinda makes me wanna go bouldering.

not sure what you're getting at fred. i'm looking for 4-6 pictures to incorporate into the design layout for the new CNS site. that's all. copyright and credit will be kept as the original photographer. there won't be an image gallery or anything like that. or am i totally taking this wrong and you were talking to mitch?

I disagree. Perhaps I didn't read the fine print on Mitch's website but I hope our photos aren't up for grabs except for x-img to use. If that's the case I probably won't post anymore photos on x-img. Simply because having redundant photos on more than one local website is lame.

That is why I never post the same photos as Zig and he does the same eventhough we have photos from same dates and places.

yeah sorry. I was thinking more in terms of x-img. If you want some NS photos that I haven't used on the net yet I probably have some at home. I'll have a look.

According to the X-img site.

No, they're not free to be copied by anyone, and if they were copied I would take action to have them removed. That being said, if you upload your photos to X-img (see post above by dcentral) then you are giving X-img permission to do whatever (we) want with them. I forsee that when the situation arises, I will ask for your permission first, regardless.

In this case, I suggested only that tracstarr take a look at the photos online; I wouldn't have given away your photos without your permission, especially for free.

Regarding your stance against having duplicate photos.. well, I think it's not likely that any two photos are the exact same, and i think it's nice to have as many photos online as possible! (see my site for 100's of photos of people falling off and warming up on the same routes ever weekend ;) )

yes but the shots that I upload to x-img are usually my best photos. I do it to help out your website since I have a website of my own where I can advertise my photos. I'd hate to see them used on other sites. Those 200 other photos that didn't make the cut I don't bother uploading but I do have them at home. That's why I was telling Tracstar I'd look in that pile instead of using a similar photo. Of the 4 photos that I do have on x-img there are NOT countless others like it.

Anywho. It doesn't matter cause I didn't read the fine print I guess. I was just a bit surprised when you told him to check out x-img for some photos. My bad. :D

Understood. don't worry, I'd have asked first before letting anyone use your shots.

Cool

I'm just a little worried cause I'm sending a few of them in with a Gripped article.
