Happy St. Paddy's Day!

2008.03.17

Downtown Royal Oak will be bustling today with Ambitious, Hooky-Playing Green Beer Drinkers in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I already spotted a handful of party-goers decked out in the latest St. Paddy's Day t-shirts, green beads and crazy plastic hats. And that was at 9:30 THIS MORNING!! I'm hoping to get back downtown to photograph the mayhem this afternoon. My friends and I celebrated the Green Beer Day on Saturday and my camera was not around to photograph the debauchery.

I have also updated my watermark. I was inspired by Anjie's blog to protect myself from Internet Photography Thieves. This has always been a little worry of mine but I never really knew how to go about avoiding it. I've heard of people stealing images, altering them and then claiming them as their own. I just want to protect myself and the people, places and things I photograph. I'll be playing around with the look of it until I find something I like.

Have a Wonderful St. Patrick's Day Everyone!

ambersunsets Very nice perspective and the green is very fitting.

focussed But if people really want to go to the effort of stealing your image, cant they just save it and crop the water mark off?...especially if you put it down in the bottom corner so that its unobtrusive.. The only way to really protect yourself is to have the watermark in the middle of the subject..which is annoying :(..its all a bit sad isnt it?!.....
Anyway, this is a cool shot! Love the green against the red bricks!

Anjie I love that you've incorporated the Irish Green with the Brewery sign, LOL... Good spotting!
Happy St Patty's day as well :-)
