Hi everyone,

Its been a while since i have posted , mainly because i have been on holiday photographing Badgers and doing loads of Moth trapping. I will post a few pictures when i have had chance to go through them.

In the mean time my website is now live and if anyone would be interested in taking a look i would be grateful for any comments, good or bad.
The site is still under development but i hope still has a few pics of interest.

All the best. Jon.

Hi John

I like your site and you have some beautiful photos but they are spoilt by the watermark in my opinion. The images are not large enough to be used for printing. I understand they are precious to you, but surely you took them to share with others and not to deface?

Thats just my opinion

I've had a look and it's a great site, with some superb images, well done Jon.
I have to agree with Boddie though, I think copyright marking for images that size shown on this and other sites is just spoiling the image.
No one could possibly nick your images for commercial gain, the quality is just not good enough. Don't misunderstand what I said, I mean the size and resolution as shown isn't high enough to print or use commercially.
Having said that, your doing a great job with the site and the images look OK, but would be so much better without the markings!

I have the same thoughts with images on here. I agree with a discreet watermark such as those by OY or Pxl8 but some are getting a bit carried. Each to their own but I just feel it is unneccesary

Thanks guys,

I appreciate the honest comments, i am still in learning mode.

I think i was perhaps bieng too cautious and i think i will take your advice and get rid of the watermark.

Maybe you would pop back in a few days time and let me know if you think its got any better.

Cheers Jon.

Hi Jon, just had a peek at your site and very nice it is too, some really nice pictures, in particular i like the Flora. Very colourful and beautifully composed. I understand perhaps your reasoning for the watermark but the positioning i'm unsure about as it does detract somewhat from some really beautiful pics. However i have yet to attempt to build a website and i am cerainly not as knowledgable as others with regards that and photography but it is a very nice site and many congrats for that.

Geoff
