Speaking of sunrises...here's one of my favorite sunrise shots (in an indirect way). Sunrise on Jekyll Island, GA with remnants from the outgoing tide. :)

I was trying out the Smug Mug site to sell for awhile with a couple of the theater projects I worked on. I was surprised at how easy it was to setup and the minimal charges to have a "shop". Although, most of the stuff I shoot I have no interest in selling; it's more about personal fulfillment.
FineArtAmerica is dirt cheap and I like it much better than SmugMug.. I did like the forums in SmugMug but I am sure there are some I haven't found yet on FAA.

Wonderful!

In light of the pin up thread I decided to go into Picnic for editing, WOW what fun!

So where are you all happiest selling your stock photography? Istock? Shuttersotck? Getty? Or something else?

Dee, I am Kelli Fotograffer Mims on FB. I think I might already be friends with you on there though. After the Reunion I went nuts and started asking everyone to be friends with me on there, lol.

I sure love your outlook on photography. Oh and I am going to be taking photos of PEOPLE in my studio...UGH. I'm going to try to make a living at it. I am going to bite the bullet and make myself enjoy it and on weekends do what I LOVE TO DO with my camera. I'm going to bid for the local school's photo contract and yearbook contract, too. Gonna see if I can do the proms and all other school events. I am the only photographer in town, so I should have no problems getting weddings and senior pics, etc. My partner is a DJ and has been doing weddings since 1998, so we already have that going for us. We've just added my photography to that business. If I could just learn how to use Photoshop, I'd feel SO much better about all of this. Monday I'm going to hit the books and learn it!!!

It's nice to know a fellow LA person on here, especially a fellow photography lover!!! : ) Kel

Yes I saw your FB page, thank you but I wasn't sure if that was your photography page too! I sold two prints on FineArtAmerica recently so I was over the moon.

Photoshop Lightroom has some really great effects that I've seen lately.

I am sure you will have no problem with your studio, BUT I have a question. Would doing shoots like at parks or out in town work for you? I think the backdrop of trees and such works wonders!

laissez les bon temp rouler!

This is one thing I would like to venture into, how do you do this??

VintageFemme 11-09-2011 05:19 PM
would anyone be interested in doing a photo theme week? peter lik does one on his facebook page, or he used to it's been awhile but i always tried to add to it. it was such fun and you got to see some really incredible photos of a similar genre or item. i don't know how we could do it - i guess open a new thread maybe and a week ahead of time vote on a theme topic from perhaps three different ideas? then the next week on that thread submit our photos for the chosen theme? does that sound right? would anyone want to participate in something like this?

Yup, I'd be up for participating intermittently. I'm a self portrait specialist though rather than a photographer.

ok great! let's wait and see if there's much interest and if there is, we'll do it! i think it would be fun. don't you have to be a subscribed member though to create polls? i couldn't do that - someone else will have to do create them. we'll give it a day or so and see if anyone else wants to participate.

p.s. i've seen some of what you do besides your amazing sp's and what i've seen is great. you would have a lot to contribute i bet!

I don't know about suscribed members and polls I'm afraid.

Let's hope a few folks want to get creative.

YES! I would! I got so bored with my 365 that I just quit, felt very self indulgent, I would love to do this, for fun and creativity!


Wryly 11-09-2011 07:30 PM
I'd be willing to give this a try. It seems that I go too long without picking up my camera.
I usually take pics when I'm out for a walk. I'm too shy to do the random street pic. Never do self-portraits.
Obviously - I need to get out of my rut!

girl_dee 11-09-2011 07:37 PM
Meanwhile....

Okay then! Let's do this ... it'll be fun. I'll create a thread now but I can't create polls I don't think being a free member so ummmmmm, I'll figure something out.

Does anyone have advice on selling stock photos...

ButchEire 11-13-2011 03:39 PM
I have accounts with several stock photo sites. Advice? Well, from my experience, you can't really sell an artistically-inclined photo as well as you can a generic one. People looking for stock are looking for appealing, but generic. You also can't really do editing on potential stock, because each time you save the edit, the picture loses quality and when it's reviewed, they can pick that out a mile away.
