"Smugmug" photos online

[jhb171achill]

I found a photo on the smugmug site which I'd like a copy of, and publishing permission if possible. The site says that copyright is held by a number of different people. Having identified this one specific image, does anyone know how I can find out who holds the copyright and, ideally, their contact details?

Could you provide a link to the photo @jhb171achill? Might be able to find the information you're looking for if I can follow the link.

Hi hexagon 

It seems I didn’t read the writings on it properly - it says that the particular photographer (whose details are private) does not “under any circumstances” grant permission for copies, nor enter into any correspondence!

I must presume, therefore, that unless anyone knew him personally and might “put in a word” for someone else, it’s a dead duck…. The photo was of a steam train leaving Dunsandle for Loughrea. It’s not even that great a photo, but I like it!

Pray tell, why would you put said image up on the internet were this your inclination???

If you post the link to where the photo is published online, maybe somebody will know who the author is.

Here's a substitute jhb a recently acquired negative showing the Driver and his dog posing for the photographer ca 1958/9 at Dunsandle. I think the photographer was probably Roy Denison

Indeed; but the wording of the initial bit is, I assume, verbatim from the photographer! So unless he changes his mind….   Before I read that bit I had emailed smugmug’s own “help line”; it was they who pointed this out to me……

Could well be the same train! I’ll look for the link.

Its a different locomotive from that in my shot. I have had a quick scan through the Smugmug collection but don't recognise any of the views. Some of the research is a bit suspect especially photo no 210 which is said to be J15 255 on the Kerry branch.

Well yes it is the Kerry branch but its actually the Van & Kerry branch in Mid Wales and the locomotive appears to be a GWR Dean Goods or ex Cambrian 0-6-0.

That's a shame, but I suppose at least the photo was of interest!

Yes - can't see the point myself of yer man posting it either - but that's the photographer's business, I suppose.... I liked the shot because it shows an ancient MGWR brake 3rd with a brand new tin van, and a wooden-bodied GSWR bogie....
