Looking for thread and post from Amolitor....

[jwbryson1]

Awhile back, Amolitor called out Guiness Man for his thread full of photos of women because it appeared that Guiness had used a background image that was not his. This was confirmed by Amolitor who found the background image by posting the actual photograph in a Google search somehow. I can't remember how he did that though.

I don't so much need that thread, but I would like somebody to refresh my memory as to how you do a search for a specific photograph on the internet by using an existing photograph.

Can somebody please flush out the details on this for me?

Thanks.

I think what I'm looking for is images.google.com

I don't know but would be very interested in finding out.

Drag and drop the image right in the search box on google image search.

Did it work for what you needed?

I think so. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a photograph on Flickr and then reposted it on the Strobist Group website within Flickr. I had a few people comment on it, but then I got an email from Flickr that says some group liked it and had added it to their gallery. I am not really familiar with that but it got me to thinking that maybe it was being used for other purposes so I wanted to try a search of the image to see if I could find it online.

I did the search and nothing came back, but I'm not 100% sure the search went as planned because I'm certain there have to be other images like this on the internet, but nothing closely resembled mine...

Does that make any sense?

 

[squirrels]

That makes sense. I wonder why nothing came back. I searched by avatar to check before replying. I wonder if it plays nicely with flikr. Off to check.

 

[squirrels]

Nope, no results from flickr on anything I've tried.
