Fun in the snow

As any one who visits my site regularly, you will know im not one for portraits or people in my photos, but these 2 young ladies were having so much fun for me they seemed to capture one of the many joys that snow can bring, as usual there were “other” young females in the street that had to much to drink could barley stand up let along walk in the snow with high heels on i did laugh when she fell over (oooops) however these 2 young lasses were what i would call nice or normal people. i did promise to put the pics up so they could see them…. if you still want copies email me wayne@waynesphotos.co.uk

Should i steer clear of people from now on?… or should i put more people in my photos?

Feedback please….

Thank you to all that have visited and had a look and please come back also feel free to leave your comments under each post you can remain annonymous if you wish just make up an email address.

Heres some interesting facts for you … or maybe not….
when searching Google World Wide for “waynes photos” Ranked 2nd of about 42 million results
when searching Google uk for “waynes photos” Ranked 1st from 400,000 results

The Bussiest single day was 2nd july with 55 hits
The single most popular post overall has been The London Architecture Poll with 46 visits but only 15 votes :(
The average page view is 2.71 pages per visit, spending 3 minutes 17 seconds viewing those pages.
In reality there are a high number of single page visits staying for 10 seconds or less, but here have been a number of visitors how have stayed and given the site a thourough read through thanks you to mondays visitor who stayed for 29 minutes reading 12 pages from the Uk. :)

33% of visitors arrived from google or other search engines.

1 person did a search for Jonathan Fridlington (my best mate and fellow photographer) skipped 9 results for him and clicked on my site, the odd thing is i that they never actaully clicked on his site at all that day… how bizzare?
Overall there were visits from 25 countries around the globe in order of most hits first here are the stats

    There are hundreds more stats i could bore you with but i wont, but i will tell you that i can even tell the screen resoloution of the pcs or handheld devices the website is viewed on and i will be using this in future to maximise the size of the photos i put up, in short if you cant see the whole picture your in the minority and its time to buy a bigger screen!
    Here is an image with a descriptionclick on it, if you cant see it all (inc description) then your screen is set below average resoloution (if you need help call me) shame about the lens flare in this picture

    if your thinking of upgrading a screen or anything pc Novatech for the best prices and most excellent customer service and after sales i have recived in a long time.

    hope i havent sent you to sleep, come back soon as i have some more images to post this week.

    ,waynes photos Well its a very commonly asked question, there are many reasons why people steal images, there are even more ways to steal them, most commonly “right click save as”.

    The long and the short of it is you can’t stop people as they will always find a way, most of the time its to use as desktop images but some people print them off or repost them and call them thier own work, or even reuse on their own web site without your permission.
    In one respect it could be seen as flattering that someone thinks your images or photos are nice enough to keep or use but, on the other foot as a photographer or artist you personally invested time in producing the image and why should someone take that for free or worse still without asking (just plain rude!).

    My blog uses an anti right click script ( GO ON TRY RIGHT CLICK) but even this can be got round if you really know your stuff, so I will be watermarking my photos in the future, I find this annoying to the viewer so I will try and keep it obvious but not destructive to look at.

    Alternatively you can use a reverse picture serach engine which i have found TinEye and works well or if you want to know what people are copying from your website you can use Tynts Tracer Service .

    Let it be known not only Big Brother is watching you.

    Not everything in life is free but ask and you might be pleasantly surprised !

    Hope you found this useful.

    Almost Glorious Goodwood 2009 Ladies day

    Today allowed time for something I had in mind for a while, so there was a forcast of sunny spells the rain stopped and I went off, on arrival the festivities were well under way I found a spot and took some snaps but didnt like the previews, then all of a sudden from no where the heavens opened drowning several thousand people for almost 30 mins I almost gave up!
    When the rain stopped I moved down next to the racecourse, and I’m happy to say it was a good move.
    Here is Frankie Dettori, Winner of the sixth race of the day, The 17.10 European Breeders’ Fund New ham Maiden Fillies’ Stakes, 30th July 2009.
