This simplifies the Reverse Google Image Search, put it in your bookmarks, go to the page with the photo you want to search, click the bookmarklet and it goes the search.
I used it and it works incredibly well, even finding different versions of the same photo such as the scaled images I use in Farktography and the big images I use on my blog. Even if you aren’t being ripped off, you can find who is using your Creative Commons Images. It’s how I discovered Scientific America using at CC shot of mine!
March 22, 2013 at 10:20 pm #51034CauseISaidSoParticipantWhoa, very cool! Thanks for the link, ennui. I tried it on a select few of mine and I suspect I’ll end up wasting a lot more time running most of them through it.
So, based on the few I tried it with:
- Who’s responsible for the “Farktography Masterpieces” section on pinterest? I had no idea this existed, but 4 of my shots are pinned there.
- My Lego shot seems to have made the rounds. From what I can tell on this page, it was either tweeted by HuffPost or by someone in response to that article. It’s not embedded, but it’s linked under the tweet “This LEGO sculpture will make you dizzy and amazed all in one! (sick bag maybe required) #lego #sculpture”.
It also shows up on this Russian site, Impossible Sculptures (seems to be safe). I gotta give the guy credit – he tried to give me attribution, but he used the name I’ve got in my Fark profile, Richard Hertz (not my real name – from an old SNL skit, and also the name I used for my first fake ID WAY WAY back when).
- Someone with the username SuperJETT from Lousville, KY who appears to be an admin on the forums at X-H20 (which looks to be a site for SeaDoo & jetski enthusiasts) has appropriated my bacon pic from last week as his forums avatar!

Copyright Scripps Media? WTF? Them’s fightin’ words! Not even a photo credit (I don’t mind the ‘little’ bloggers so much, but ABC news? Suggestions? (mine is the third image, though a smaller version of it).
//cool link; I’ll use this often!
March 23, 2013 at 12:18 am #51036linguineParticipantWell this shot of mine is has certainly made the rounds on the internet

“Last image © Russell Vallelunga 2013” Looks like you were at least attributed.
I would start with a polite email pointing out that it is polite to ASK before they use a photo. Where I went from there would depend on their reply. It IS a bit annoying to have THEIR copyright warning splashed all around when they are using yours without permission.
March 23, 2013 at 12:41 am #51038fluffybunnyParticipantApparently the script does not like Zenfolio, all I keep getting is “Images cannot be smaller than 9 by 9 pixels.”

March 23, 2013 at 12:45 am #51039CauseISaidSoParticipantDoes this work in chrome for anyone?
It worked for me in Chrome, but I did notice that if the image is large enough to be resizable (where Chrome displays the magnifying glass cursor), it won’t work on that page.

I took a quick look, fluffy, and yes, it’s due to the way that Zenfolio displays your images so that they can’t be right-clicked and saved. For example, here’s what an image element on your thumbnail page looks like:
<img class="pv-img" id="ctl03_PhotoGrid_i1-img" width="200" height="106"
style="background-image:url(/cdn/pub/lhkaey3gc5zx/0/null/m/lxf9tmowbjy1lj3n7xcd/s8/v76/p1466129156-11.jpg?sn=&tk=fdqXOQzQgw9snO8XDde4CdQ9rhslCIdutexGqaRyQbs=);"
src="https://cdn.zenfolio.net/zf/img/null.gif">I don’t know if you know any HTML, but what they’re doing is telling the browser that the image source is “null.gif” (a small empty image, which is why Google complains about its size). They explicitly set the size of the image and then set its background to your actual image. Since null.gif is small and transparent, your image shows through like usual but if you right-click it, you’ll save null.gif. Rather clever, actually.
You can try the thumbnails for your contests at Bibliostats. It seems to work really well regardless of image size (see for example the small avatar-sized version of a shot it found in my previous post).
I can tell you that your liquid tulip is on the pinterest site. There seems to be a collection of Fark-related pinterest boards like that one, so it may be something “officially” tied in with Fark. But I don’t know who chooses what gets “pinned”.
March 23, 2013 at 1:52 am #51041fluffybunnyParticipantThanks very much for the explanation / detective work CISS. All makes sense to me. I’ll give bibliostats a try.
March 23, 2013 at 2:30 am #51042fluffybunnyParticipantSo yeah, it works off of bibliostats. The bookmarklet is open source (I think) so maybe there’s any easy fix for zenfolio. I’ll put it on the plate with the other thousand things I have going.
Only found one grievous use at the site:serbagunamarine.com claiming to distribute “free wallpapers”. Their contact page does not work (go figure). Probably not worth my time to try and track them down.
The funniest was on a couple of gun forums, someone posted my “Knife to a gunfight” from Apples vs. Oranges. LOL.

Yeah, I emailed them before I left for work. I asked that they either accredit me, or remove the photo (I was reasonably nice about it). 😉
