I tested one way to get more visitors ...

... And I have no idea what the results are ...

I posted this QR code on Facebook with the title "I wonder how many curious people there are ...".
The code is an html link to this blog.  The idea was to tempt those who recognised it as a QR code to click on it with their telephones.

More people than usual visited here yesterday, yippee!  I don't yet know how to find where they came from, fooey.

My next test will be to print the code, with no text, and post it on supermarket bulletin boards.

I'll keep you "posted" ...

UPDATE 2013-07-24 Those 88 blog hits had nothing to do with the QR code.  The QR code was responsible for only 2 hits ... and they were both me. :-(

Is he shilling for his Daddy?

Bryan Peterson's current Adorama TV video (here) suggests using a Hoya FLW filter to give sunset photos a pleasant magenta tint.  Why would he say that when you can do the same thing in a few seconds with Photoshop?

A several-year old thread on DPReview (here) points out that an on-lens FLW would cut some light to the blue and green pixel sites, causing increased noise.  A poster also mentions that only Hoya sells FLWs, and FLWs (as of 2009) have become exceedingly rare in camera stores.  (Interesting, because Bryan mentions as an aside that no other camera store except Adorama has Hoya FLWs.)  The thread in general recommends photographing in raw and using Photoshop to tint the image.

One poster remarks that Bryan sells a lot of books by recommending cliché tricks that result in photos that look like a whole bunch of other photos already on the web.

Maybe Adorama wants to clear out their remaining inventory of FLWs and is using Bryan to do their marketing ...?

Excuses:
1. My photo friends have been working too much to go out on photo shoots.
2. My pc which has PS is down with a fan problem.
3. The weather's been so nice I have just stayed around the house and done a lot of nothing.
4. No nr 4, going to take a nap now.

Zzzzzz ...
