The second round of invitations to Flickr users to participate in the Flickr Collection at Getty Images started earlier today. As usual with something like this, the buzz around the interwebs is immense, and heated opinions are popping out everywhere. Some Flickr users are more than excited about accepting the invitations to submit their images while others are more reluctant.

On our side here at PhotoNetCast, Jim already publically announced that he’s passing on the invite.

And what about you? Did you get an invite? If so, will you take the opportunity or not?

That’s our next poll…

    Photographers or terrorists

    Once in a while we hear stories of photographers and authorities clashing on security-related issues. A case of mistaken identity perhaps…

    We discuss this issue and share our stories with you.

    Is it a good or bad thing? Will it remove the focus from photography? Listen to what we have to say.

    It’s also a recurring topic the fact that images published online sometimes are used for very different purposes than intended and without author knowledge or compensation.

    But some things can be done to, if not prevent it completely, at least minimize it.
