Well Up For It! Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was just gonna post a new thread about this too. While I agree it is a good idea, the pricing structure is way off - £5 small print pic. I would have like to have seen a download to computer option for the pictures, as personally i'd only use any of these pics as a desktop background. Would happily pay up to £1 for that priveledge. Wonder how this has come about - obviously a tie in with our new photographers, etc. Out of interest, if any supporter is featured in a given picture and the club are making a profit from selling their image, surely the person is due some sort of royality, etc? Not that any Well fans would take advantage of that (well, maybe), but to charge over the top prices isn't fair. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Think it's a good idea for the extra cash etc. Agree about maybe paying to download for pc background or whatever - something I suppose they can look into considering it's just starting. Only thing about the fans in the pictures...not that any would I suppose, but could they object to them being in them and being sold?

With regards to the desktop backgrounds, i'm not sure how that would work with SNS taking most of the photographs but i'm going to speak to Flow to see if there is a chance some of the pics i have been taking for the club could end up on this site available for download, i'd be delighted for a copy or two to be sold. Only problem i see is one person downloading it and then sending it out to all their mates free of charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Unfortunately not, the person wouldnt be entitled to any sort of royalty. As a football ground isn't a public place, though, they would presumably be entitled to have the photo removed from the website, if they felt that strongly about it...

Mayb the watermark could be moved to a corner, etc and all downloadable images will contain said watermark to stop people printing it and ripping off the photographers? Still think the price for pictures is a bit dear to be honest, but at least the club will benefit - I'm assuming they do. Would be nice to see some exapmples in Club Shop, maybe at a cheeper rate to comabt this. For example, print out the five most popular at a larger size and sell them in the shop with a 20% discount? Can you clear up what Sarah said about people featuring in pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not sure how these things work normally but from looking and registering it seems the smallest 8x6 image of Phil @ £4.89 then requires £1.72 postage added meaning £6.61, seems a lot and probably too much for me to be making frequent purchases HOWEVER: the exact same image on SNSPIX costs £8.31 + £1.72= £10.03 I think the sites are operated by the same company so it seems 'Well fans are getting a preferential rate, Is it good value? well that down to the individual I was ready to order a bundle but it'll now be a selected few when they become available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the discount for Well fans, more than £6 for a small picture it is not feasible in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to comment specifically about this website as officially i'm absolutely nothing to do with it, dont want to sound like i'm making myself out to be a part of it when i'm not. But, i THINK there is something on the back of match tickets or in small print somewhere inside the ground saying that photographers are present and by being there you give your consent to be in the photographs. I remember Man Utd fans kicking up fuss about being in a nike advert without consent and nike got away with it because they had wee signs down the front of the stand saying something along the lines of "Nike Advert filming in progress, if you object to being filmed please leave the premesis".

Sarah Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah I know what you mean. I can't see anything on my season ticket though - only mentions not taking any photographic equipment into the ground/match. Nothing about photos being taken of supporters. I'm not bothered by this at all, just wondered how it worked that was all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandluc Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Great fun looking through them all the same. Cracking one of Klimpl sliding in on Driver of Hearts. Would make a good t-shirt methinks . He's only on loan......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
