Which of the following search techniques would be most effective for determining if an image posted to a nature photography blog is actually the work of the listed photographer?
  1. Reverse image searching the picture, sorted by date, to see if the oldest version of it is in the photographer's name.
  2. Looking at the WHOIS information for the blog to determine the page's owner and the country in which they reside.
  3. Viewing the social media accounts of the photographer to see if they have also personally posted the photo.
  4. Checking the camera metadata for the image to see if it was taken with the same device as other photos by the same photographer.
Explanation
Correct Response: A. One of the best ways to check the authenticity of an image is to use a reverse image search to see where else the image shows up on the Internet. If the image was misappropriated, this is a quick way to find the original. B is incorrect because the WHOIS information reveals the ownership of the website, but not of the content it contains. C is incorrect because the named photographer could have posted the photo in several places even if it was not their original work. D is incorrect because even if available, this type of camera metadata provides only indirect support for the identity of the image owner.
