Site issues / Albums for North America
October 25, 2011, 04:46:01 PM
I think as your site grows, you will have a problem with too many lights in "United States" and "Canada"  Many sites subdivide by state, if you use that option, Michigan is the largest with 240 some lighthouses.  Other sites cover the coastal waters by region and subdivide by state, and then cover the inland waters by the name of the lake (thus Lake Michigan would cover lights in the states of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.)

I propose that you will find your life easier if you establish how you are going to subdivide before you get overwhelmed.  At this point, that is not an issue as my 5 pictures from Lake Erie are the only ones in the United States album. 

If you'd like to get an idea of the magnitude of the problem, you can look at my site (www.lighthousesRus.org) which I believe lists almost all the lights in the US and has photos gathered from a number of photographers.

Site issues / Sharing Permission
October 25, 2011, 04:00:21 PM
Your usage policy requires us to abide by the sharing permission stated by the photographer - a requirement I strongly agree with.  However, when I look at a photo, I see no statement such as "all rights reserved" or "non-commercial usage allowed" or equivalent.  (The particular light I was looking at was the 2nd Bulgarian light, but I expect it to be true of all.)   Did I miss something or do you need to add another question to your list of attributes of the photo?
