I'm just currently going through whats been hours of editing when I've been informed that an individual has made a complaint about action shots being posted on k9 that they feel potrays their dog in a poor light.
Whilst I haven't yet recieved a formal complaint from the sites admin, I do feel that my own photos will also be subject to a complaint because I have no control over the subject manner and how it behaves on a track.
However, it should be noted that whatever is exhibited at a public event is open to the public domain's viewing and as such the law allows me to take photographs and retain copyright of my material without the need of a model release. Furthermore I was formally invited to take photographs of the derby and it should be noted that at the events I attend, I also take photographs of the winners with their trophies as well as their action shots. I would be very careful about putting in a formal request to me about excluding your dog from photographs for this reason but I will honour any requests made.
Until I recieve a formal complaint, I can do what I will with these photos and as such, they will be published on my website but out of respect of the admin on this website who are likely to recieve complaints, they shall not be published on K9.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
