Yes indeed perhaps they will give you a share of the cheese from the moon.

There is another chance if you missed it last night or this morning. It will be very near full tonight. I am going to take it over water so if it gets stolen again I will know its mine. I actually sold this moon photo a few times as stock. It's so original no wonder.

Since it was sold as stock a few times, how do you know it was stolen?

I would ask them where they got the image and if it was from a stock agency, I would check the terms to see if it required an extended license or not.

Bradford, the video on AOL taken by the photographer was not produced using your photo here from Fine Art America, or your stock photo, in other words the photographer you posted the video did not replicate your still photo into a moving inserted image in his video...if you look close enough at the video and listen and watch the image on the video is moving, the close up of the moon which appears to be a still photo, the video photographer is changing from the telephoto of the moving photo of the moon coming up over the horizon to a close up. Listen again carefully and you can hear the click when the video photographer is switching from a wide to macro on the video setting, the microphone on the Nikon for video recording is very sensitive, when in video mode of Nikon my videos makes the very same click when I zoom out or in, I have a Nikon and I have noticed that because of the built in microphone in the camera it picks up the click as you go from zoom out to zoom in. Look at the video very carefull the moon in the video is moving. They did not use your photo from Fine Art America. I went outside last night and captured the super moon and missed it lower on the horizon, the photos I took were more like 50 to 60 degrees up from the horizon.


Last night and as other night time photos I take, I manual switch to manual settings and it the pixels does change the density from a white to a yellowish and that is due to the electronic components built in the camera. I have done this many times to create a more dramatic appearing photo switch from landscape setting to sunset and dusk to other setting manually. When I do this for daylight photos as well it gives the colors a more rich and vivid colors.

Instead of putting filters on the actual lens the electronic components in the Nikon override the auto settings.

Rudy, I am pretty sure they would need an extended license for over a million distribution. But Michael may be right and it was a still from the video. That was very perceptive, I always shoot a manual exposure using an exposure similar to what i use in the day because the moon is lit by the sun. I shoot in Raw and adjust the white balance afterward so the color matches what I remember. Last night was kind of cloudy but had I venture out I might have go something. One thing on my shoot list is a moonrise over a certain beach. Interestingly I got a shoot request from Getty Moments to go out and shoot the moon on the 11th or 12th as both are nearly full.

Hello Bradford, I did understand your post, I have just explained it a little more in detail to help others who may have had similar situations while using the auto focus in video mode of there cameras....


Hello Bradford, when you view the video AOL posted what appears to be a still is not, if you look very closely the image which appears to be a still is not, it is moving look at it very closely. The photographer you posted on AOL did not use your still photo. I will be posting my images I took of the super moon and show you what it was I had discovered and sure the very same can be achieved with all cameras from auto to manual. The way the electronics was designed to compensate for the various lighting modes. My images are white as you would normal see the image in auto setting but I purposely change to manual settings and the image is indeed compensated as if filtered or the electronic pixels built in the camera.

The close of moon is not a still its moving look very closely, the photographer is switching to wide angle to close up, I am sure it the video they posted the photographer did in fact edit his video. This is done in editing so you do not see the focus and unfocused image. Other wise another point with my Nikon when you start the video at a certain degree if the video is macro close up the Nikon keeps the image focus while reversing from macro to wide angle. But something myself and others noted while using the video from wide angle to macro the Nikon does not compensate fast enough, unless its something I am doing on my end, the image does not refocus, its slightly blurred.

Its not yours. The craters are not in the same position as yours.

 

Loree Johnson

I agree with Melissa. The moon is in a different position.

Maybe if I rotate it and re-caption I can call it Supermoon July 2014. Or does that change with latitude?

You'd have to prove, somehow, that this shot of the moon was yours. with thousands of camera's taking a shot at the "super moon" me thinks you'd be in a pickle to prove this one was yours - why would they bother to 'steal' yours - when there are so many all over the net? and that spot on near the top of the moon is in a different location than your image.

We're reaching parity with the world's images. This whole business of photographers wanting to get paid and paid and paid for photos no one asked them to take is getting real old real fast.
