Name:Animal photography
About:Welcome to Animal Optica, a community for people who like wild animals and taking pictures of them.

Feel free to look around and leave comments, but please keep these rules in mind if you plan on contributing;

Copyright - The images posted have to be made by the people who posted them. Subsequently, all images present are copyrighted to the people who posted them, they are not free clip-art and may not be copied or reposted without the owner's permission. For the photographers, it's advised to add a copyright notice to your photo's in case someone saves them for their personal collection.

No pet pictures - I was initially content to ask members to obey a rough guideline to keep pet pictures at a minimum, unfortunately some people have proven to me that not everyone is mature enough to handle such freedom. As of 26-7-2004 posts with obviously domesticated animals will be removed. If you want to post pictures of your pet, there's plenty of alternatives like [info]creature, [info]petphotos or [info]petpictures. This community is for wildlife photograhpy only!
Added: To clarify, I'll be banning the photo's of both animals in "webcam range" and obviously domesticated animals, for example; A horse in tack or a horse being ridden, rabbit in a hutch, animals with obviously purposefully bred characteristics (fur patterns, specific physical build etc.)
Pictures of animals in zoo's and sanctuaries are allowed, pictures of petting zoo animals are iffy. Please remember that the animal should be the focus of the picture, try to avoid huge pictures with a tiny animal in it except as carefully planned composition. Try and avoid photo's where the camera has focussed on cage bars or wire mesh or are otherwise of a poor quality (blurry, sunglare etc.).
Pictures with a dubious subject manner will be dealt with at the admin's discretion.

Make photo's friend-list friendly - Don't post any photo's larger than 400x400 pixels unless you put them behind a cut. Multiple photo's should also be put behind a cut.
Thumbnails are a good alternative or just use a textlink.

Comments - Adding comments on where you took the photo or with what and how is interesting to read. Perhaps there's a story behind the image, feel free to elaborate on the photo. Please don't write anything inflammatory or attack certain people or groups.

Places to put photo's - Deviant Art is a site where you can open an account and upload photo's for free as long as you heed their guidelines.

No pet-questions - There are a lot of communities out there made to answer any of your questions about just any kind of pet, birds, rodents, dogs, cats, this is not the place to ask anything about your pet or your pet's healthcare. This is a community for displaying photo's of (undomesticated) animals.
