Can I become an Admin ?

Definitely,we at LAGH believe at growing at every opportunity,If you think you have it in you to become an admin,then all you have to do is prove it to us.

First we would like to see a constant inflow of pictures from you,and as they grow on us,we will make you an author and consequently a Moderator/Admin :)

Fine!But What Do I gain ?

Well,we are in no position to give you any monetary benefits,but your photography marvel(if it is the best of the Month or the fortnight),will be made our Facebook fan Page profile pic!!

And in addition to that,We can also have it as the background image of the ShutterBugs Blog..aint it Awesome ?

(Probably not ,but this is the best we can do :P)

Sounds Fun *pun intended*,Do I really have to have a  really good cam..you know..and be..like you know..really good at clicking pics ??

Not even close!!

We never specified any such regulations,If you observe some of our first pictures to be hosted on the blog,were all clicked from a mobile Camera!!

WHY IN THE F**KING WORLD DID YOU WATERMARK MY IMAGE?????

Okay cool it..!!

it is a very simple thing,As you see,plagiarism  has been effecting the blogging world and copyrights a lot..!

For example:The following blogs ripped apart quite some content from Lifeatgitamhyd,with no due credit to it.

www.it-gitamhyd.blogspot.com : http://it-gitamhyd.blogspot.com/2010/02/sad-starting-for-month.html

www.gitambuddies.blogspot.com : http://gitambuddies.blogspot.com/p/meet-us-at.html (a Copy of http://www.lifeatgitamhyd.com/p/contact-us.html)

So We need something to protect our copyright work from the bad people on blogosphere,hence we use a Watermark.

Btw,We usually don’t watermark images if we think,it will spoil the look of the picture :)

And if you still hate,it then tell us ,we will be obliged to remove it :)

Hey!I sent a zillion  pictures,but you only published some of them ? :(

We employ a process of screening,in which we segregate the good from the bad and the worst,most of the time the good make it onto the blog.

What about the worst ?

They go into the trash,or else we can have a feature “How not to click pictures” and post it there :)

IS that all ?

For now yes :)
