Selling Photos Online

As Posted on http://www.dphotojournal.com/sell-photos-online/

It's now easier than ever to earn extra money from your images by selling them online via specialist websites. It goes without saying that to be successful you shots need to be well composed, in sharp focus, accurately exposed, digital noise free, and available in high resolution format. But presuming that all this is in order, how do you maximize sale ability?

First, you need to find out whether a website will be worth your while by logging on and having a look around. Views the types of images stocked, and determine whether yours are on par with their quality and style, but be wary if there are a lot of images similar to your own. Most websites offer data detailing how many images are online, how many visitors and searchers there are per week and the number of times each image has been downloaded. Use this information to answer the question: How likely is it that I will actually sell my images through this website?
Once upload, your next challenge will be to make it as easy as possible for potential buyers to locate your images. This involves master the website's search facilities works and decide how you're going to categorizing and keywords your images.

Categorizing
Sellers can usually place images in more than one category - exploit this by placing yours in as many as possible. The importance of this is that while visitor and site members browse websites, photo buyers shop by category. Getting your photos listed within the right categories ensures they appear in front of the right audience.

Keywords
Keywords are there to give your photos a further away of being found by searches, and websites will give you a certain amount of characters to play with, which you should exhaust. Keep your keywords simply and accurate.

FAQs
Can you post the same photo on multiple stock photography websites?
Yes, you can..unless if you choose for being exclusive with iStockphoto or any other agencies that offer exclusivity. Then, you MUST only submit your photos to that agency.
What type of photography seems to be the most profitable?
Shoot what you like.. While some photographers say that people photos always sell really good, my best sellers have always been landscape/travel photographs.
Are you selling the same photos at multiple agencies?
Yes, I am.. as I'm not being exclusive to any agency and I'm selling all my photos as Royalty Free.

Below are some stock agencies where I submit my photos to..
DREAMSTIME - http://www.dreamstime.com/res25157
Dreamstime has been online since 2000 as a Royalty-Free stock photography website, selling CD imagery. The concept has been redesigned, upgraded and adapted to the market's need, evolving into a powerful and active community in March 2004
Your commission is .50 for each photo downloaded, but I believe your commision would increase as more people donwload your photos. Please visit their site to check the detail of their royalty figure.

FOTOLIA - http://www.fotolia.com/partner/3606
Fotolia is the newest micro-stock photo agency and really has a lot of earning potential.For each photograph sold, the photographer receives a commission based on the type of license sold to the customer. Fotolia currently has a local presence in 5 major countries: USA, France, Spain, Germany, and UK. Biy mid 2006 they plan to be in all English speaking countries and all major European countries.

Great Digital and Camera Sources

digitalcamera-hq.com is a great Digital Advisor site and an excellent source.
Check out their
Top Digital Camera Picks for 2006

They give you their favorite cameras of 2006, to help you find the right one for you. These cameras make great gifts or stocking stuffers for gadget loving loved ones.
From DCHQ - Nov 15, 2006

"We, the editors of Digital Camera HQ, have put together a big, comprehensive gift guide to help readers find the perfect digital cameras based on their level of expertise or particular technological interests. For those of you who want to cut right to the chase and just get our top picks overall, this is the place for you. Below, you'll find what we consider to be the best digital cameras of 2006, cameras that we are sure will make for an exciting and satisfying holiday season.
Our Top Pick for Novice Users: Kodak's EasyShare line makes no bones about being easy. The EasyShare C743 is all about ease, specifically designed to provide hassle-free use for novices. The 7.1 megapixel sensor is fantastic, considering the reasonable price tag (under $200), and will allow for prints up to 15x20 inches. In-camera touch-ups will wash away any little mistakes, and a special blur alert will make sure you're able to make the right adjustments to get the perfectly crisp photo you desire.
Click here to find the best prices for the Kodak C743
Our Top Picks for Mainstream or Casual Users: Canon has unleashed a fearsome set of 'A' series cameras that are almost certainly destined to be blockbusters. The Canon PowerShot A640 is one of many 10-megapixel cameras this season, but the only one with the impeccable lineage of the Canon A95 and A620 behind it. It’s an unimpeachable camera, and entirely worth the price (around $350). A less expensive version, the Canon A630, features an 8 megapixel CCD and will save you about $100.

Our Top Pick for Gadget Lovers: Since wireless technology began creeping into digital cameras, we at DCHQ have been waiting for one that makes it as easy as possible to share photos over the Internet with friends and relatives, and we think the Nikon Coolpix S7c may be the one. The S7c comes with Nikon's "Coolpix Connect," which allows you to store an address book full of e-mail addresses in the camera. Without needing to connect to a computer, the S7c will find your Wi-Fi signal, and deliver photos to the contact of your choice with as little stress as possible. The S7c should be the cornerstone of a widening wireless revolution in digital photography.
Click here for the best prices on the Nikon S7c
Our Top Picks for Ultracompact Cameras: Canon has been turning out one fantastic ultracompact after another, and they refuse to stop. We still love the Canon SD700, but they've decided to push forward and introduce two brand-new pocket cameras with great features that simply cannot be ignored. The Canon SD900 is the new top-of-the-line, and has one of those nifty 10-megapixel sensors that are all the rage these days. The Canon SD800 IS might be where it's really at this season for party-people and users on the go. It's got a substantial 7-megapixel sensor, and perhaps most importantly, image stabilization. No more shaky ultracompact shots! The SD800 also has a wide-angle lens, perfect for large group shots or panoramas.
Click here for the best prices on the Canon SD800 IS
Our Top Pick for Serious Photographers: Everybody knows and loves the Canon Digital Rebel. It's a powerhouse digital SLR, the original prosumer digital camera, and still the reigning champion. Well, Canon has released the most recent entry in the Digital Rebel saga: the Canon Digital Rebel XTi 400D. It's an all around improvement, maintaining the ease-of-use that made the 350D so popular while bringing the features closer to professional cameras like the 30D. The 400D is sure to be another gargantuan winner for Canon.

Digital infrared conversion - what is it and why is it better than film infrared photography?

http://www.lifepixel.com/provide digital infrared conversion services, tutorials & IR filters for photographers interested in handheld digital infrared photography.

- Film infrared photography
Infrared film of many types has been available for decades and photographers have been using it successfully but not without some trial and error in their photography.If you ask any photographer who shoots or has shot infrared film he or she will tell you that it is a hassle and much more difficult to master or even get good results with over regular film photography. Here are a few reasons for this:Since infrared film is very sensitive to infrared light as well as visible it has to be handled, loaded and processed in complete darkness. Photographers have gone so far as to use blackout tape on the film window and around the film door on their camera to prevent light leaks fogging the infrared film. This was done even if the same camera didn't exhibit any light leakage with regular film photography.Because infrared film is sensitive to visible light as well as infrared light a special infrared filter needed to be attached to the front of the lens to block all visible light and only pass infrared light. Since all visible light is blocked by this filter we can’t see through it as it is opaque black to our eyes. As you may have already realized this makes it impossible to compose and focus as you no longer are able to see through the viewfinder. To overcome this problem the filter needed to be removed, the photographer, using a tripod composes and focuses, attaches the opaque infrared filter and takes some bracketed photographs. This process would need to be repeated over and over and over. Infrared light, being located to the right of visible red light, has a longer wavelength and thus focuses at a slightly different point. Because of this most lenses have a red infrared focus dot offset from the regular focus mark so that the photographer after focusing on visible light can move the focus ring to align with the red infrared focus dot.Lastly, infrared film only has a suggested ISO rating because the amount of infrared light varies from scene to scene independent from visible light. This would require the photographer to take a series of bracketed exposures in hopes that one would be correct.As you can see the steps required for film infrared photography are quite lengthy and complex compared to regular visible light photography and many have given up after some failed attempts.

- Digital Infrared Photography
With the advent of digital cameras it is now possible to photograph infrared light with your digital camera and greatly simplify the infrared photography process. The latest digital cameras are sensitive to infrared light, so much so that manufacturers place a hot mirror filter in front of the sensor to block infrared light to prevent infrared IR light from spoiling regular photographs. It is still possible to shoot digital infrared photography with an unmodified digital camera but the exposures become quite long and in most cases require a tripod, not to mention the need to place an infrared filter in front of the lens to block visible light. All this sure doesn't help the creative infrared photography process.With our digital infrared photography conversion it is now possible to photograph infrared images hand held at low ISO speeds and without the need for infrared filters. Since you no longer need to use an infrared filter in front of the lens it is much easier to change lenses, compose and focus. To learn more about our infrared conversion services please go to lifepixel.com's Digital Infrared Conversion FAQ page.
