Jessica Ennis selfies
Nice to see Jess Ennis out at the EIS Sheffield on Sunday watching the young GB team competing at the Combined Event. She looked very radiant with no sign yet of a bump...and gave everyone plenty of time for chats and snaps.
As soon as she appeared trackside a host of Spanish and then French
athletes mobbed her for selfies and then persuaded Toni Minichiello to
take group photographs. It was very flavoursome of the great atmosphere at the
event.

A victory for the little guys (man bites dog)
Photographers have won a landmark legal victory after a US federal jury
awarded $1.2m to Haitian freelance photojournalist Daniel Morel. The US case is
the first to define who owns photographs posted on Twitter. A New
York jury decisively backed Daniel Morel in a
copyright case against photo agency Getty and news agency AFP, after the
latter claimed a right to use Morel's photographs of the 2010 Haiti
disaster.
The size of the compensation is impressive (it represents several decades of work for the average freelancer), but much more significant is the fact that the legal system has slapped down Getty/AFP for their grabbing practices. If the case had been one of the big boys against someone who had used their content without paying then they would have clamped down hard from the minute they found out (they even tried to sue the photographer for "commercial disparagement").
.
This is a victory for the little guy, showing to the world that online content, despite the best endeavours of corporations to strip metadata, is still copyright to the original owner.
I would expect Getty/AFP to appeal as otherwise the ruling makes a defence of a similar nature more difficult in the future. Which is a shame as it will deprive Daniel Morel of much of his compensation (just how much of it will be swallowed up in legal fees) when they should be man enough to hold their hands up and admit their mistakes.
A very good reason to get out the party hats and raise a glass to Daniel Morel!

HarperCollins - wanting the world, but not at a price....
I was recently intrigued to be contacted by the world-renowned publishing house that is HarperCollins.
They were after the use of one of my local photographs for a new book publication which would be a major new history of English architecture.
The requirement specification was: "File should be 300dpi jpeg usable up to about A4 size is poss. It won't actually be used any larger than 1/4 or 1/2 page size but this gives us the potential to crop, if need be. This chapter hasn't been laid out yet so I can't confirm exact usage but the publication date is September 2013 with world all language rights, hardback and ebook editions."
Checking on what would be an appropriate price to quote for such a work (£180), I was told by them that they (one of the largest publishing house in the UK) did not have a budget for this, but could offer me a copy of the book as a 'Thank You'.
While it might be nice to get a picture included in a book, I did not take the request any further as a book will not pay for a new lens or cover my website for another year. I guess that it is just another example of the big boys wanting the world and not wanting to pay for it. And yes, I will look out for the title when it comes out to see just what they did include instead.

Making a splash at Ponds Forge
The British Gas Swimming Championships are taking place this year at Ponds Forge in Sheffield from 26th-30th June 2013.
Despite the heat and humidity, I will be there on each of the 5 evenings for the final sessions. By early next week I hope to have some of the best photographs in a gallery at: http://www.peverilphoto.com/section665568_579191.html
The time lag is due to the late finish, work next day, the disinclination for midnight updates etc etc - as Miranda would say "...bear with..."

British Athletics Grand Prix 2013
The British Athletics Grand Prix returns to the NIA in Birmingham on
Saturday 16th February 2013 for what is widely regarded as the world’s
best indoor athletics event.
Newly-crowned Olympic gold medallists Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, as well as Olympic bronze medallist Robbie Grabarz, were in fine form at the NIA last year. Grabarz leapt to a convincing victory in the high jump with 2.32m, while Farah smashed the British and European indoor two mile records with a time of 8:08.07. Ennis saw off competition from world silver medallist Danielle Carruthers to win the 60m hurdles.
Looking forward to a good session tomorrow, especially as there will be live TV (reminder to self - kepp the bald patch out of the way). Hoping to catch Mo Farah in action in the 3000m in the last event of the day.
Should have some photographs posted to: Andy Chubb Photography by Monday 18th Feb 2013.
