Hello folks,
Greetings of the season. Not been posting but reading of late only; only
have a K-7 and taking photos of interest really only to locals. I hope to
add a K-5 next year, it has been very odd with just the one camera body.
Amongst my other hobbies, I tend to acquire the odd addition from local
auctions. This often proves to be a mixed blessing as some lots include a
lot of unwanted stuff. Anyway, in a recent acquisition, I had to take a
small piece of furniture (dropped off at a charity shop) but inside I found
a handful of colour slides. I assume this whole lot was from an estate sale.
Most of these were the rather poor blurry kind& a few of family unknown,
but there were a couple that were really good. A friend is interested in
using one on a webpage - it shows a forest landscape.
My question is: Having bought these, albeit by accident of inclusion in a
lot, can I use them in any way I like? I'm aware if you buy a house and the
garage/loft/house has furniture etc still left it becomes yours, can I use
my purchase - not to pass off as my own - but to use as described?
