I have decided I probably should start watermarking the photos that I put on my blog. Not that they are all that wonderful, but they are all taken by me rather than 'borrowed' or used from some other source, and once in a while some come out really good. Which is totally a fluke, I assure you, as I don't really know what I'm doing when it come to professional type photography. Nevertheless, it's those dang good ones that I don't really want someone else stealing and claiming as their own (and possibly printing out for sale). This all started a few months ago when I saw, online, a picture that looked amazingly identical to one DD2 had taken a few years ago of one of our barn cats. That got me to thinking how easily the things we put online can be 'taken' from us and used maybe in a manner we wouldn't want them to be. So, from here on out my readers will have to put up with watermarks.
Here are a couple of pictures I took in the last week that I like, and have attempted to watermark.
I don't know, I'm thinking the watermark needs to be bigger to be effective (and not easily cropped off), but I don't really want to detract from the picture, because then I'm less apt to post pictures at all. I personally hate looking through large watermarks on photos, because my eye (and brain) is then drawn more to the words than the image.
