h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The information that I can give you is that there is so far no Sub-Ed working on it so you still have a few weeks until the picture is needed. Can't be more precise at the moment.

Fair enough I have had a couple of people respond with photos, but it's good to know that I have at least a couple of weeks to see what else is shared.

Oo, I may have found the perfect picture! Just need to get permission... It's the bottom photo in the first post at http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/713252/little-coop-in-the-big-city

Thats a brilliant picture that one looks like it is a real fighter beautiful.

That's really a very good picture!

Just waiting for the photographer--of course I'd have to fall in love with a picture taken by someone that's not been on the site for a couple months...

Hi everyone, just to let you know that I'm working on the sub-editing now,

And no word from the person that took that photo I've asked on my thread over there for more pics, though there's one there now that's pretty good.

Why can you not take a photo of your own coop?

My surroundings don't look urban (while I am in a neighborhood as opposed to on a farm, there are no sidewalks, and there are woods in every direction) and my coop doesn't really look like much, since it was originally built to house a hot tub. Also, my chickens are all immediately identifiable as such

Thats a bit close to the ultimate fate of some of them.

So, once I've chosen a picture (I just announced on the thread that I'm giving it one more week--mostly so the thread gets un-buried), do I ask the photographer to email someone to give permission, or what? And what email address should I give the person? (Still no sign of the person who took that perfect photo, darn it.)

I think it's ok for you to ask their permission on your board and them to respond in the affirmative, so long as it can't be tampered with later, just to be on the safe side. I uploaded photos of blue butterflies by kind permission of a friend on Facebook (who owns a zoom lens) and they adorn my Entry on that subject, so I know this can be done. Can you make a note of the name of the photographer so they can get credit on your Approved Entry Amy?

Once I make my final choice, I can. I'm still hoping Chambertin comes back on BYC before my self-imposed deadline--s/he's not been on since January (or at least, hasn't posted). My next choice photo at this point is fairly nice as well, though, as well as a bit more typical

We would also need information about what the copyright text stuff should say. Like... a name.

Haven't heard from my second choice photographer. I did find a pic I'd taken that will work. However...

I heard back from the guy that took the perfect pic! I'm having him email me his real name, how he wants to be credited if different yhan his real name, and a bit more formal permission than, "Sure." I may have also hinted that permissions could be less complicated if he's an h2g2er Anyway, I will forward the email to wherever it needs to go

very good!
