Oh and you retain all copyright. I'm sure their magazine is copyrighted and they probably try to own anything they print. So you should assert - and they should explicitly recognize - that you are the owner of the photo. And they'll forward to you 5 or 10 copies of the book - 1 or 2 of which you take apart to include in your hard-copy portfolio. They are big boys and girls, as well as professional journalists. They know what they did, and they'll be happy that you are a kind and generous and non-litigious car guy. And you'll include them in your client list.

I wanted to use a polarising filter for ever on digital cameras and eventually got one for the S2 but the results were very disappointing to what I am used to with film camera... I probably need a real SLR digital one next camera...

Given that it is a club newsletter, not a huge for-profit magazine or advertisement, I'm not going to go after them with guns & lawyers blazing. But they SHOULD know that you can't just lift photographs of the Internet and use in print without permission! I've almost always said "yes" when asked. --chuck Paul, I wrote them a nice note.

It is a few years old now, and sort of the middle ground between the first wave of consumer digicams and the second wave of bigMP & SLRs you see now. It LOOKs like a small old-school mini SLR... think Leica. Lots of handy control features too. I like it a lot. I have a fliter ring for it and almost always shoot with a polarizer filter. The LCD tilts both down and up so I can hold the cam above my head, or down and still compose shots. This one though was just hold and click, without viewing. That classic "chuck" shot you know. ;) Jerome, the cam is a 5mp Olympus C3030Z.

Go git'm, chuckles! Though I’m fairly sure you may find it an honor that your shot was used, I trust you’ll take them to task for using/modifying a *copyrighted* piccy w/o yer permission?
