Search Engine Marketing – How and Why
Saturday, November 21st, 2009How do I successfully market my website? Why is this so important?
2 of the most frequently asked questions by any website owner, so lets break this down:
1) How – As with any project the HOW is always the most difficult to define – especially for someone looking to embark on a “DIY” search engine marketing campaign. Depending on what you are looking to acheive and what function your website performs, the HOW can be broken into a heirachy of importance; what is it you want to acheive?
- most visitors over a short space of time?
- long term search engine placement?
- a mature catalogue of inbound links?
- High level page rank?
- Sales and/or sales leads?
For any website owner that offers an “e-commerce” or service based product the last is likely to be the most important – which brings us to the WHY.
Using a Canon 400d for HDR photography
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Eastbourne airshow was the venue for the day. Armed with my trusty Canon 400d and my Sigmer 18-200 lens (not to mention a few spare memory cards -but no spare battery – much to my demise) I got a few hours out in the sun, sat at Beachy Head in Sussex to get a good vantage point on the proceedings above and below.
For anyone not familiar with the concept of HDR photography, it’s based on the the principles of Using three identical photographs of the same subject taken at different exposures in order to achieve a high amount of detail in the mid tones, highlights and shadows.
This is sometimes not as easy as it might sound because the three images must be as identical as possible -meaning any moving object is almost a write off but there is another way using one raw image with can be re-processed in order to achieve similar results.
HDR photography stands for “High Dynamic Range” and I will talk you through how to produce an image using either Photomatix by HDRsoft or Photoshop CS4 by Adobe.
