I, too, would like to request permission to use the frog & fly and/or frog reflection pictures for a series of fact sheets promoting water quality for the Greater Stockport Creek Watershed in Rensselaer & Columbia Counties. Would this be ok? It’s a community based group & we’d gladly give you credit for your fabulous photos.

Greater Stockport Creek Watershed,
I use a Panasonic Lumix DCM-FZ28 (high end point and shoot a couple of years old now) 10 MP – 18x zoom. The macro mode (flower setting) has made me happy.

Use any photos you like. All I really ask is to be able to see where and how the images are used when it comes to non-commercial use like you propose.

I am writing you to ask for permission to use one of the pictures posted here. We are interested to use the picture “frog-fly” to illustrate a post written by the Spanish science journalist Eduard Punset, which will be published the next Sunday 7th march.

In his post, Mr. Punset talks about the microsaccades that allow the humans and other mammals to see permanently, in contrast to what happens with, for example, frogs. The journalist says that if a fly in front of a forg do not move, frog will not be able to see, to detect, the insect. We believe that your picture is perfect to illustrate this example.

I have to add that neither the blog nor the picture we are requesting has not any commertial use, and picture will not be edited or transformed.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.

Sincerely,

Octavi Planells
