Wave watching

My brother gave me a book . It's an unexpected gift, and for this reason it's even more beautiful. The title is "Wave watching" and it's about wave, the science behind a wave and how to spot waves in Liguria, a region in the north of Italy.

It's the same region of Cinque Terre, Porto Venere, Monterosso some of the most beautiful places in Italy. It's not only a collection of photos but a guide on how, where and when you can take great photos of waves. There is also a chapter with useful tips on how to photograph waves.
It's really a great book full of inspiration for great photos, it's only in italian and you can find it here:

Reverse Image Search - TinEye

I've just discovered this Search Engine, TinEye, that allows you to make Reverse Image Search.
It means that "It finds out where an image came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or if there is a higher resolution version." Useful to see if someone uses your images without your permission as reported in this article "They Are Stealing Our Work", by Alain Briot on Nature Photographer Online Magazine.
To date, as stated on TinEye website, they have indexed 2,083,781,872 images from the web.
I've tried some searches for my own images and it seems that no one is interested.
Maybe is better when someone try to steal your photos.. It means that they like them.. :-)

Let me know what you think about it.

Hope you'll find it useful.
