Open each file page above, copy the author + licence shown there, and add it to the footer credit line (e.g. "Photo: Jane Doe, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons"). If a file turns out to be non-free or you prefer no attribution burden, swap in a public-domain/CC0 alternative from:

## Owner-supplied cinematic set (assets/blog/, deploy/assets/blog/)

Note: the lifeguard images carry visible "Surf Rescue / DHL" branding; keep those to editorial blog use rather than advertising, and avoid implying affiliation with Bondi Rescue, SLSA or DHL.
