i agree with you totally Abigyl! i think i remember the case which you are referring to.Abigyl wrote: ↑October 16th, 2019, 9:20 pm Ame, I share your questions and I have a problem with changing the reality in a photo or video. We are here in a forum which its primary purpose is to record a true situation, to present the exact data to researchers. By monitoring the nest residents and their descendants during many seasons, we can help in many aspects.
A few weeks ago, a picture of the Eagles family was presented here, while they were posed in a nice way but not as it happened in reality. I wanted to write at that time but thought it's an isolated event.
We do joke here sometimes and it's OK, but in my opinion what we are doing should not come at the expense of accurate documentation of events.
It's my personal opinion, based on my experience in the net during the last 20 years. We never know when we'll need to check some old facts, or when new users will try to learn from previous seasons and don't have our memories.
the pictures and videos here should express what was actually recorded here. if the pictures or videos are manipulated in some way that suggests something else than what happened in reality it should be clearly stated. funny manipulated pictures are ok if it is clearly stated that they are not real events.
this includes of course the time stamps of the pictures/videos.
a few years ago there was some discussion about this when some people thought that the time stamp of the camera picture did not show the correct time of the events. the time stamp time is the correct time.
if someone is still in doubt please read the instructions give by Jānis Ķuze. here's a part of his comments, taken from DDF, GT'ed:
"... The second thing I want to comment on is copyright. Camera material is freely available as long as no one is using it for commercial gain. The rule on our part is to keep the reference to the Latvian Fund for Nature, which manifests itself as the logo of the fund and also the preservation of the time zone. In the Ame Looduskalender forum, this is done by placing a timeline copy on the bottom of the framed images. Without a time zone, images have little value because they cannot be recognized chronologically. Timeline transfer in framed images is possible with primitive graphical programs that do not have problems."
