Copyrighted: Hollywood Darkness

I had a feeling when I saw this image that it was from a fashion blog—and a quick GIS shows that that is in fact the case. The blog itself is defunct now, but the owner's Flickr is still up and has the original image on it. For whatever reason, someone artificially darkened the image (apparently without the blogger's permission?) and stuck it on our Hollywood Darkness page.

Would it be possible to find an actual image from some sort of media?

Wait, so basically, someone darkened a random image (it could've been a photo of a cow or some cheese) and called it this trope?

WTF?

The trope is about fake darkness. So yes, it's a good image.

Copyright wise, to me it's showing up as "Alle Rechte vorbehalten".

Yeah, but according to the OP, the person who posted it "made" fake darkness where there was none in the original photo. If so, it could've been of Chuck Norris, the Eiffel Tower, or a guy in leiderhosen eating a roast beef sub on a Tuesday - it wouldn't have mattered at all.

Perhaps there's no rule against that, but that seems really odd to me.

There is no rule against that. There is likely a rule against "Alle Rechte Vorbehalten" images, so we'll have to pull it.

Well, at any rate, I'd love an actual example, especially since the original needed the caption to show that the photo was "supposed" to be at night (which, again, it wasn't), as opposed to taking place at twilight or just somewhere poorly lit.

Hm, the examples I am familiar with also require outside context that it's "supposed to be" night. Add "day for night" to your search terms, though, that's really common.

I don't know German but I'm pretty sure that translates as "All rights reserved", your standard commercial copyright notice.

I know a little German as well as Swedish which is closer to German than English and like German kept the old meaning of "behold" that means "hold on to". Etymology is fun. So yes, that's what it means.

So... should an image be chosen from the examples on the page and switched out, or what? Not to mention, as someone said, a quick Google Image search of "day for night" gives TONS of possible examples.

I saw the Hobbit movie yesterday, and one thing I noticed was that when they were inside the Misty Mountains (just on the front porch, not in Goblin-town), it was night outside, they were far back in a cave, there was no fire... and yet the lighting was like a cloudy English day with essentially no darkness shown. Once that comes out on DVD, it could work, but that's rather a wait.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

The image's copyright should not be a problem since we're come commenting on it (see fair dealings and fair use on Wikipedia), except you suppose to give credit (or state where you got the image from) which, I've dealt with by adding "The image at the top of the page is based on an image by so tranish, on Flickr" to the bottom of the page. However, if most of you still think it's a bad image, then it can be replaced with [1], [2]◊ or almost any nite-time seen from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

The policy we follow is About Images and Copyright. I won't allow that image here unless I am sure it complies.

What are those first two from?

Their from http://chriscallisspring2010.blogspot.ca and http://www.muse.co.jp respectively.

Clock is set.

The clock's up, and given the recent changes to About Images And Copyright, we're under no obligation to pull the pic right now. Locking up.
