Here you can find answers to the most frequent questions I receive for the blog and also my camera equipment.
Q: Can I use your images, post or tutorials on my blog?
A: Yes, you can, but please credit properly by doing the following:
- Copy and save my images to your web server or image hosting, stealing bandwidth is still stealing!
- Give me credit for the image, post, or mention with a link back, I work hard to create content so why not, right?
- Link to my post and/or blog mentioning “BAREFOOT DETOUR” not just link with an “image from here” or “idea from here” link.
- Write your own post (don’t copy and paste mine)
- If the picture I shared does not belong to me please credit the original creator, not me. I credit all images that are not mine in the caption of the image (below the image).
- And please remember that I still reserve my right to ask you to remove my images if the way you are using them makes me uncomfortable or is used along with racist, adult, or misleading content, because, you know, they are mine.
PS. If you credit my post and images properly on a website that caters to an audience similar to mine, there is no way I would ever ask you to remove them!
Q: Can I share your content on my Instagram account?
A: Yes! First, thank you for wanting to share my content I love when others share our RV remodel! Second, my only request when sharing my work is for you to please credit properly (tag me on the image AND also mention me in the description, doing only ONE of these things is not properly crediting, just FYI!) using my IG handle @barefootdetour.
Q: What is your equipment?
A: I love to share my equipment, whether it is what I use to blog, to take pictures, or create lettering pieces. Here is the list of my camera details:
- My Macro lens Canon EF 100mm f/2.8: I use this one for most of my close up and to photograph things that are very small.
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens: This one is a great economical alternative when you want to take pretty portrait pictures, I use it A LOT! and it gives a super nice bokeh effect.
- Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens: My camera came with this one, and since it was the only one that was not fixed at the time I purchased it, it was the one I used the most for quick “on the spot” pictures.
- My Telephoto Zoom Lens Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM: I got this one because I wanted to have a telephoto lens and for the price, it does a pretty good job.
Additionally, you can read the pages I made to share up-to-date information about my content creation gear, my business tools, and my lettering tools on my HowJoyful blog.
Q: What is the name of the font in your header?
A: Actually that is not a font, I hand-letter that on paper and then vectorize them to make a logo & header, if you are interested in learning I offer in-person workshops and helpful posts to get you started in my blog. I also sell fonts I’ve made with my lettering in my studio, check all my current fonts here.
Q: Will you mention my website/product/company on your blog?
A: It depends. I am not close to doing reviews, but the product to review has to be of interest to both me and my readers. I will not review anything not related to RV livin’, RV remodels, or alternative living. Also if you plan to email me, do your homework, use my name and never call me “Dear Blogger” or “Admin” or “Barefoot Detour” you will automatically be erased from my Inbox because you know, I am a person with a name and it only takes 2 seconds to find it out!
Also, have in mind that there are LAWS regarding marketing emails, so play nice and follow them too.
If you are going to send me an email about your product, service or proposal, please have ALL of the above points in mind before hitting the send button =]
Q: Why did you erase my comment and/or extra links?
A: As you can read on my Site Policy. Comments that are offensive, excessively promotional, or unkind will be removed, as well as repeated links. I have no problem with you linking back to show something related to the post or a link to your blog, but only once. There will be only one link back per comment (Usually the one with your name).
