Speaking of New Experiments

I used the Picnik integration with Flickr to put a very small, and hopefully unobtrusive, watermark on the last batch of photos I uploaded over there. It’s an experiment at this point. Don’t worry, I’m not suddenly going all professional on you, I just want to see if I can put a watermark on the photos, to sort of keep my name out there should someone decide to use it in a blog or something, without messing with the enjoyment of sharing the photos too much.

I may continue to do it with my photos going forward, I may not. I still allow any non-commercial use of my photos, and I’m still willing to send a higher-res, and watermark-free, version to anyone who asks for one to print. I’m not a professional, I take photos because I enjoy doing it first and foremost. If there’s any “payment” from other folks it’s seeing them enjoy the photos as much as I enjoy taking them. I doubt that will change.

Let me know what you think.

    One of the great joys of living near the mountains, and also in the mild climate of South Carolina, is the chance to simply take any random Saturday, grab the camera gear and do a little hiking/photowalking/exploring around the area, even in the middle of January.
