I have been watermarking my images since I saw a picture of my son on an Italian blog! My sister came across it about a year ago. The picture was of my son sitting on my couch in my living room holding an alpaca toy I knitting with yarn I spun from my parents' alpacas. I could possibly understand it if it was a product I had purchased and they shared, or if I had been somewhere and posted it and they used it. But there was nothing about the picture that had anything to do with the Italian blog. Fortunately it was a very nice article (so I am told I couldn't read it because it was in French).
So I was very glad to see Tuesday Tutorial was about Watermarking. I know not everyone does it and I'm glad to see support of it for my online images.
I take so many pictures for friends and family that I never share online. I don't want them to be upset if someone steals them and uses them in other places.
I have taken a few precautions to safeguard my images. I watermark them and I have also put a code on my blog so that you can not right click the images and copy them. If I can find the tutorial how to do it I'll post it here. But right now I can't find it and I have to head out.
Since I do a lot of pictures for my parents farm I make up a logo for the farm too.
I did a photo shoot for a friend of mine who is having twins. I played around with some
different watermarks.
I got the idea for the above shot from here.

Thanks Ashley and Sarah I 'm going to miss TT.
