Title: Sharing Your Keyboard Pics for Fair Use
Post by: Malarkey on Fri, 12 February 2016, 17:14:19
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share or give license to use some pics of their keyboards for fair use distribution?

I've recently undertaken the task of making some articles and resources on keyboards.  I'm finding that it's rather hard to get good quality photos of a number of keyboards, especially pics of things like switches and keycaps.  I thought making a thread here would be a great way to make a resource of free-to-use pictures and provide a way to showcase your keyboards a bit more.  All images used would be credited and linked to for attribution of course.

I'd love to see your pics or hear your thoughts on this idea,
Cheers

If the images are on Imgur you can use them under the "fair use" policy, just be sure to attribute the website (and the uploader, if possible). However, it's nice of you to ask. You may get some people to take photos specifically for you to use.

Are your articles and resources going to be on a website, or are you starting a thread here?

If it is any use you can use any of the ones I have posted.

I don't think many people will care if pictures are used as long as it is not used for profit  :thumb:

Awesome, thanks!

I didn't know that about Imgur, that should prove useful in the future.  Probably both, I've already started writing a bit but wanted to see if I could get some better pictures before going any further.

Thank you, I really appreciate it  :D

You're welcome to use any of my pics (https://www.flickr.com/photos/63579387@N06/). I'm happy to take requests if you need a picture of something from a specific angle or anything like that, too.

Also interested in seeing your writeups and stuff. :)

Check the links in my sig or the albums on my Imgur (http://jaccow.imgur.com/). Just make sure to mention me. :)

Though I believe a lot of pics have not been put into albums yet so you won't find them through the albums alone.
