My default setting for photos on Flickr is Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike.

So I was very pleased when the publishers of a web guide to Cambridge contacted me in advance to ask my permission for one of my photos to be used in their next edition. They made it really easy for me to select the way I wanted my name to show, they link through the original version of the photo on Flickr, and in general they were clear and open about what they were asking for.

It's really nice when people do things right, so here's a shout to the publishers of the Cambridge Schmap Guide.

The photo concerned is this one from a trip to Shepreth Wildlife Park last year, it's tucked away with about 10 others of the park in the guide. I don't think it's anything special, nor do I have much photographic ambition beyond "family snaps and memories", but that doesn't change the point that I reserve rights over my photos and these people respected that.
