Hi, hope my comments not consider too late. I have been spending 2 weeks photography outing in Glacier National Park, Montana many years ago. Unless you plan to walk very close to the Glacier, else wide angle lens is not a very good recommendation. I would highly recommend you to bring your best zoom lenses for Glacier landscapes, wildlife and portraits, you should be fine if just bring one good wide angle lens to Glacier. Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm F/2.8G ED is a very good lens to invest for landscape photos despite the price a bit expensive, I would suggest you to go for 16-35mm overall for landscape and Portraits photo. Unless you've problem in manual focus <easy to focus> or auto focus <too slow> or you prefer larger aperture lens 16-35mm (F/4.0) vs 20mm (F/1.8). If not, I don't see any reason why you go for 20mm Prime instead of 16-35mm. Do not forget to bring tripod/ monopod, ND/ Polarizing filters, shutter cable and etc. to Glacier too.. Have a safe and wonderful trip to Glacier, take more beautiful photos to share here. :)

Hi Glenn, Thank you for your beautiful story but not a fact!! Sorry Mr. Glenn, PN sounds like a kindergarten T&C to me. Whether or not, PN really punished the thief Mr. Joseph Nazoa as like what Mr, Glenn mentioned above. ONLY "GOD" knows.. Lolx Anyway as I mentioned, I respect your decision. Good bye! iLOVEnature

Hi GorfonJB, I specially dedicate a song to all members in PN's public forum here "You're NOT Alone from Michael Jackson" Enjoy all :) Best regards, iLOVEnature

Hi Mary, Sorry if my word so harsh above, I am getting very frustrated and upset because no further response from PN after a month. I am a very serious nature photographer, "Copyright" is very important to me in photography and art. Anyway, appreciate and thank you very much for your praise :) Best regards, iLOVEnature

Dear all, I really feel like joining Photo.Net was a joke !!! In the beginning until right now, I only want to know the decision of PN. PN has a right to make a clear statement here, all of the PN members do not need to follow PN's T&C at all. PN allow all their members to steal other member photo, PN will not take any action to such case. My question is.. Why put ""You may not use the Site to violate anyone's copyright, trademark, intellectual property rights, or privacy rights. The User Content that you submit must be your work in its entirety." inside PN's T&C in the first place? Is it just for fun? I also don't understand why PN take so long time to answer my question? As I mentioned several times, I respect any of PN decision even PN let me know here, no further action will be taken to the thief Mr. Joseph Nazoa who stole my photo for his own uses because PN members no need to follow PN's T&C at all. Hoping PN don't just keep quiet, no news.. no answer.. till the end!! iLOVEnature

Hi William Michael, I fully understand the DMC - Take Down Order suggested by Mr. Dieter Schaefer. What my concern is, what is the outcome of Photo.Net? Since now is very clear that the thief "Mr. Joseph Nazoa" has disobey Photo.Net T&C, does PN plan to take any action or just leave it as like nothing happen? Besides just me, I believe many of PN members are very interested to know the decision of PN. Not just keep quiet, no response.. no news.. no answer..no action.. from PN for more than a month. Thank you. Best regards, iLOVEnature

Dear Glenn and Photo.Net, Already past more than a month, this is my 4th time follow up my case here.. Wonder why totally no news.. no response.. no action.. from you (Glenn) and Photo.Net staff members??? 1. Have you completed all investigation of my case? 2. If yes, what is the outcome? As I mentioned, I respect your decision and let you make the final call. Kindly please let me know your investigation results and final decision, believe I deserve to know the answer as a victim here. Kindly please look into my case, I would like to know your final decision. Don't think I am asking too much right !! Look forward to hear you soon, thank you very much. Best regards, iLOVEnature

No regret if you go East Glacier National Park, Montana USA at DAWN ;):)

Hi Fred, I probably go take more nature photos instead.. Lolx Thanks for the idea, Fred :) :) Best regards, iLOVEnature

Hi Fred, Beside just keep waiting, I really don't know what else I can do!!! Best regards, iLOVEnature

Hi Dieter Schaefer, First of all, thank you very much for showing me the proper way to address this issue: filing of the DMCA take-down notice. Will do it when I have free time for sure, many thanks again :) I still respect Mr. Glenn and Photo.Net decision because they are the owner of PN. Yes, you were right! My case has been investigating for more than a month, it's time to resolve now and no point to drag!!!. Best regards, iLOVENature

Hi Dieter Schaefer, Sorry for the confusion and misunderstanding here.. What I tried to mention was.. PN has their own house rules or T&C. Mr. Glenn also mentioned in this thread: We're investigating, however it is clear within our T&C that using other photographers work is terms for dismissal. Meaning, Photo.Net has the right to cancel any PN membership due to copyright offence. Now, I am waiting Photo.Net response, final outcome and further action. Regards, iLOVEnature

Hi Dieter Schaefer, Thanks for your opinion and message here! I would like to clarify here... In the first place, I never have any intention to ask the thief "Mr. Joseph Nazoa" compensate me anything, I also never think so further.. to register my image with copyright. I understand that this maybe a common case which frequently happen in other social media site and group. My point is.. This case has been caught and identified with proof of evidence by me, I must informed Mr. Glenn and Photo.Net immediately to investigate. Before I join Photo.Net and believe all of the PN members too.. All of the PN members and myself have read thru and acknowledged Photo.Net T&C before joining, all of the Phote.NET member photos are automatically under Photo.Net's protection in terms of copyright and etc. after becoming PN members. Am I right to say that? And now is very clear that the thief "Mr. Joseph Nazoa" has disobey Photo.Net T&C, there is nothing wrong if Photo.Net taking serious action to cancel the membership of Mr. Joseph Nazoa. Also making a clear statement in Photo.Net site, to announce the cancellation of Joseph Nazoa membership due to the copyright offence. Actually I have told Photo.Net , I am wiling to give him a chance if the thief "Mr. Joseph Nazoa" can admit his fault and apologize to me inside this thread. His sincere apology definitely can cool me down but too bad. Mr. Joseph Nazoa sound too arrogance and never admit he did wrong, not even showing his sincerity apologize to me at all. Just like I am nobody to him in this case!! I really feel very upset and angry and cannot accept Mr. Joseph Nazoa attitude, believe you may have the same feeling if you were me too.. As a victim in this case here, I only require Photo.Net can let me know their final outcome in fair manner. Don't think I am asking too much right Mr. Dieter Schaefer! Anyway, thank you very much Mr. Dieter Schaefer to spend time viewing my photo gallery and compliments. Best regards, iLOVEnature

Hi Sandy Vongries, I do agree the point of your view, the thief Mr. Joseph Nazoa who stole my photo for his own uses. He can easily change his name and use different email address, then join back Photo.Net again. As I mentioned, he can cheat anyone in this world include himself but he can't cheat "GOD". What he has done here, I believe he definitely will get punish in one day!! I wonder how he can educate his next generation, he has guts to steal my photo but no guts to admit!!! I only asking Mr. Glenn and Photo.Net their final answer, don't think I am asking too much right! I understand that Photo.Net can just simply walk away, leave it as nothing happen.. Don't tell me Photo.Net allow their members steal other people photo as like what Mr. Joseph Nazoa did!! If this is the case, where is the principal of Photo.Net T&C? Anyway, appreciate and thank you Mr. Sandy Vongries visited my photo gallery and your praise too :) Best regards, iLOVEphoto

Kindly please let me know your investigation results and final decision, believe I deserve to know the answer as a victim here.
