A new website

sasastro.co.uk
So what to do with the Flickr Free time? How about teach yourself how to throw together a website (whilst also learning how wordpress works) in a week? http://www.sasastro.co.uk/ It needs polishing, and tweaking but at least it's up and running

Flickr does not respect photographer's copyright

Do you value the copyright of your photos? Have you set your camera to record your copyright in its exif info? If so be aware that Flickr strips out this information when you upload to their site. It's easy to check for yourself, just download one of your own photos and look for your copyright info, it won't be there.

At the end of the pier

This is the most amazing roundabout - over 100 years old

The detail on this ride was beautiful, it's owner told us it needs a lot of maintenance and that it is over 100 years old

Sun bathers


Girls in bikinis - as promised

As it begins, so it ends

Adult Only?

I suppose I'm just covering all bases here. I'm a street photographer,  If people feel they are safe enough to be on the streets in a low cut mini dress, or safe enough to lay on a public beach wearing a bikini, in full view of kids, adults, old people, churchgoers and the ghost of Mary Whitehouse then any photos I take of them should be just as safe. However, just in case Google is as prudish as porn filled Flickr I've marked this as adult content. 
Girls in bikinis coming soon ;-)

Lip-lickingly good


I'm sure I could add an apt caption - if only I could think of one

A Typical English Seaside Scene



Just trying out Blogger as a place to display my photography. I've discovered that it's so so easy to post pictures from Picasa to the blog, Not only that but if you click the picture then it takes you to the picasa page where you can view the full sized image
