I'm really shocked , I read one history of one great nature photographer here in Portugal, that it publish in facebook. And I'm very disappointed.
As some of you Know Geoff Simpson is well known in the nature photographer around the world.
This is the story from Zé Bicho (www.zebicho.com/)
"Shame on you Geoff Simpson"
I have a fantastic story to tell. I published on my site and another 2 or 3 places where I usually put my photographic work, a photograph of a Gryphon vulture (Gyps fulvus).
By the way neither think anything extraordinary, but it was the best I could and thought I should share.
Today when I arrive home after a business meeting I get a call from a dear friend (in whose company took the same) that my picture was being used by an English photographer with any name in the square, Mr. Geoff Simpson to advertise a rental service photographic shelters in Spain. Do not want to believe, a man so respected, professional photographer, would not usurp a photo that does not belong to him.
I was mistaken, even used, resized it, removed the metadata and published as his.
But if done this to me is quite possible it has already done a lot more people.
Contacted Mr. Geoff by FB, the response was immediate and was simple "I did no this as I dont control the blog.. my apologies G" and the second following address apublicação disappeared visionwild.wordpress.com/2011/…, now if Mr. does not control the blog disappears as the second publication in the following?? And besides even blocked me on FB.
Anyway, as I am Portuguese, and I know how the crooks, I'm tired of them even to the eyes, drew a printscreen of it to serve as proof.
So I get to see how some people brag about making fortunes with photography. taking advantage of the work of others blatantly.
So again I say, "Shame on you Geoff Simpson," this behavior is a Portuguese uneducated. Not a photographer and naturalist, as it calls itself.
If you don't believe here are the print screen a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto…
Before a read this I'm in Shock, Hope that no one more find your work in his blog.

A Great day

HHi all,
Hope everything is ok.
Have you ever had a day (I'm sure you had), that in the end, you say "what a nice day I had today"?
I had one today, wasn't made by something really special like earn a lot of money, or go up in your career or find the one you love.
Usualy I shoot sunset. Today I woke up at 5.00am and decided to photographic sunrise (only did that 2 times).
I arrived in time, as it was still dark, I could go explore some spots. I prepared myself, put on my galoshes and water-proof pants. And when it began to dawn I put my tripod in place, and when shooting the first photo, appears on the display "error 01" WTF is not possible. When I photograph the sunset, did not prepare myself and usually I get home all wet. Today I came here with calm and prepared everything, I can not shoot because of an error!? I said the F word and many times very loud. LOL
I was really frustrated, but wake up so early, so could not give up. So I tried QI received what was going on. It was despair, saw the light come quickly and I could not shoot. And I finally got around the problem. (apparently the lens is not doing well in contact with the camera, but if you squeeze a little longer is fine.)
After days of bad luck is luck, having solved the problem, the sky was all cloudy, começarama nuvez appear with those golden hues of the sunrise. And a noble sky with shades of blue gray and yellow, contrasting with the rocks of many colors. I managed to photograph beautiful scenes in my opinion. During these days I'll share with you.
And suddenly it began to be magical and I wanted to share this with you
