Royal Wedding Street Parties – Chichester

Wayne Humphrey — Mon, 02 May 2011 18:41:12 +0000

Went out to photograph some royal wedding street parties in Chichester on friday, it was great to see people of all ages joining in the fun and really making the most of the day, I was there to help Jonathan out more than take my own pictures and as such mostly took snaps over his shoulder so my photos were not as good as they could have been plus i over flashed a lot of them too

Here is the best of the worst

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 barely 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….

How do you stop Image theft?

Wayne Humphrey — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 12:17:15 +0000

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

Wayne Humphrey — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:26:19 +0000

Today allowed time for something I had in mind for a while, so there was a forecast 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 didn’t 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.

Glorious Goodwood.
