Not just wedding photography - useful information on QR codes

Although my Blog is photography related, and more specifically wedding photography, I do like to bring you details of other, normally related, 'stuff'

You may have seen these strange barcode looking square mazes on billboard and magazine adverts recently.

It is a QR Code (even the name is abbreviated - it stands for "Quick Response") and is a mobile phone readable barcode. It has been big in Japan for ages now, is being seen more and more across Europe, and now even in USA.

In its simplest sense it contains a link to a website, product or service. You simply scan it with your smartphone using an appropriate QR reader software app and it will fire up its browser and go straight to that link (normally a website or 'URL').

Very useful for companies wanting to point their target consumers or customers to more information about them or their product or service. You can very easily create one by searching online for 'QR code generator'.

Try it scanning the one above on your smartphone and see where it takes you!
