....I had a message on the site from a jolly sounding person who said we should have a better picture on the site logo!
So....bearing in mind we have to be able to square it in terms of copyright, does anyone have any suggestions?

This article has a picture (click on it to enlarge it) that I've seen quite often and it seems fairly easy to cut out a nice portrait. Maybe it's possible to get permission to use it. Is there a chance that a member has a photo in their archive that might be suitable?

That is indeed a lovely photo,and a very interesting piece too,thanks for the link  I wish I could watch the series,but it's on BBC Wales......can you watch programmes from regional TV companies on that BBC i-player thingy?I've never really explored that. A friend of mine is a year into a similar project,restoring a croft on Orkney,but from the piccie it appears Griff has much more to work with.The 'croft' actually turned out to be little more than a pile of stones when my friend saw it for the first time..... after purchase! xx |

Gah! I think that would challenge anyone's restoration credentials.
If it's a still from the series it will be copyright BBC. I'll see what I can do though; I have quite a few (oddly) and might be able to come up with something....

I wish I could watch the series,but it's on BBC Wales That was two years ago, unfortunately. It has been repeated a few times, though, but that was too long ago for it still being on the iplayer. can you watch programmes from regional TV companies on that BBC i-player thingy?I've never really explored that. To find out you can try this: Via the BBC programmes page you can find Welsh TV programmes, pick one that has a red "i" next to it. If you should get an error message, you obviously can't watch it with the iplayer. Otherwise the programme should play right after some time to load, if I'm not mistaken. The 'croft' actually turned out to be little more than a pile of stones when my friend saw it for the first time..... after purchase! Blimey! Not a moment too early.  If it's a still from the series it will be copyright BBC. I don't think it's from the show (For two reasons: 1. I don't recall a scene like that and 2. it would be too time consuming to sift through all the video material only to make a few promo pics). I have the sense it's a photo that has been taken extra for promotion. Either way there are copyright issues, but the site has a promotional effect, so I thought there might be a slight chance for you to use it. I have quite a few (oddly) and might be able to come up with something.... I never would have thought of that!  |

Ladyj, if I PM you a hatful of archive pics, can you play with them as you did the original one and we'll get a consensus about which one folks like best....
*goes off to play happily on hard drive for a while*
(I still think our current photo is delish, but I'll go with the majority!)
