 Using my Sony A77 and 18mm lens I could not fit this curving path and the castle in to frame as there are buildings right at my back. I purchased a wide angle lens Sony's 11-18mm but Sigma do a 10-20mm that is very popular aswell.
Crop Sensor, your sensor size needs to be taken account at this point as my camera has a crop sensor my 18mm lens is actually 27mm and 11mm is 15.5mm. On a camera such as Canon 5D range that have a larger sensor 16mm is actually 16mm.

So you have a hard drive full of images, you might display some of them flickr, facebook or google images but would it not be great to show your images and make some money from your photography?
You have 2 main types of sites, 1 print on demand (pod) and 2 stock. I have already written about pods so for this post I will discuss stock sites. Stock sites are used by companies looking for images and it is cheaper to buy an image than pay someone to go take that image. What their willing to pay will depend on the size of the company and what the image is to be used for. If it was world wide advertising campaign you could be onto a good earner but if its just for a few hundred pamphlets their budget will be a lot less. The thing about photographs is they can be used in many different ways for example a photograph of a glass of wine could be used by a bistro, wine bar, nhs (drink aware), wine maker, wine retailer, vine yard, dentist (teeth staining), for cooking, well you get the idea, landscapes are popular for tourism, a man smartly dressed could be used a hundred different ways. So now you want to sell your images, you need to select a stock site but be careful the payouts vary, the rights vary, the requested file types vary so a little research into which site you pick but I would recommend you look at Alamy, Shutterstock and Istockphoto to begin with. |
Welcome
