People are genuine nice

For our establishing shot we are going from a city jpeg to a 3d modeled city. We found a perfect picture from the homepage of Simon Ho, a Ausie born and raised in Sydney and, as with many Australians of Chinese descent. Therefor he took a picture from the province of Guangzhou, and specific the city of zhaoqing.



The picture was copyrighted, and as a result we couldnt use it as part of our establishing shot. We desided to wright him an email and ask for use of it, hopefully we could just photshop the copyright logo away.


This is the response we got:

Sure, feel free to use my photo of Zhaoqing.
I've uploaded the full-sized version (size: 2 Mb) so that you can
download it from the folllowing address:

A better quality picture without his name on it. There are some genuine nice people in the world still.
