Are you allowed to draw any photograph you find online, even if it’s not a stock photo?

( www.reddit.com )

Are you allowed to draw any photograph you find online, even if it’s not a stock photo? I’m learning how to draw and paint, and I was wondering if I find an image that I like but do not have a license for, can I still post my interpretation of it if I give credit, like “Photo by X”? Obviously I’m not selling the art. Or would this be considered rude, even if it is legal? submitted by /u/Ochem_woes

More abstract. I’m wondering the best quality for the price deal for something like this, and I was thinking canvas. But I’m not sure I want canvas. I like the idea of glass over print. Or even acrylic inst…

What would be a good affordable camera for nature photography? I want to photograph nature, mainly birds, but am not sure what a good camera would be. I am well aware that a cheaper camera would not be as high quality and am ok with that. I was looking at the Canon SX 50, but I just don’t know enough to know whether that would be a good camera for the job. Please be kind, I am really not knowledgeable about…
