Photo Captions and Credit for Images
Give authors photo credit and add captions to image son our website. Just small text underneath the photo for a brief caption and photographer credit.

Hello All -
I wanted to provide an update on this item! Since this idea was set to 'in-progress' we have been able to fulfill the following:
- Images used in blogs have a caption on them that provides credit to the photographer.
- Images used within the body of web pages are able to give photographers credit through the use of alt text when you hover over the image.
What we are still missing is the ability to give credit for images used in routes/places and on some landing pages. This task ended up being larger than expected and was unable to be completed during the most recent development window. We are changing the status of this idea to 'Priority' instead of 'Complete' so that we can schedule this outstanding step in the future.

Yes, this is a great idea. It will attract higher quality images, have more impact on the viewers and therefore enhance the entire website. This will also have a spillover effect to the magazine as well as any new publications.

I'd like to support the suggestion for the ability to give photo credit. Should really help improve the interest in our route/places moving forward.

We'll need to also tweak site design in the places where the right portlets overlay on the images (e.g. activity detail pages)

Many images on the Internet are free to re-use for non commercial purposes if attribution is given, the ability to link to the source is also important
