What do you guys think of watermarks on photos?

Also what do you think of people modifying photos (not simple B&W conversions) without your permission?

I'm having one of these things where people have just said I should put a watermark on the photos but I don't agree with them much. Looses the quality of the photo clarity in my opinion.. but anyway.. what do you guys think of it?

my thoughts... if you stick it in the corner, it'll be easy to photoshop out. if you stick it all over the photo (eg, the bike photo), it ruins the shot...

A subtle one across the bottom of the pic is fine . But not straight across the middle . I don't get why anyone (who isn't trying to sell there pics ) does it .

Zane, so they were done with a lensbaby? I was wondering about that.

I reckon your photos are better than the samples on the lensbaby web site. Maybe they should be paying you...

Yeah having fun with it...

I got the macro kit as well and been recently having fun with stacking macro filters for really close up shots.

Thanks James...

Yes, the first set (Friday) was taken with lensbaby 2.0 with or without the wide or tele converter

Second set (Sat - flowers) was taken with lensbaby 2.0 with +4 or +10 macro filters... The bokeh of the lensbaby is really smooth. Unfortunately my camera does not allow extension tubes + lensbaby

Everything at f/2........

Better to keep a list of your serial numbers if only for insurance...
