Learn Digital Photography - Can You Make Cash from your Camera?

It concerns me as a photographer when I see the numerous articles and ebooks about making cash from your camera. 8 Easy steps or 10 ways to turn those snapshots into cash. And, "Hi shutterbug here's a foolproof way to turn those photos into dollars". Or, earn $200-$400 per day from your camera. With all the resource boxes pointing to, you guessed it, books and cds that will help you make money from your camera or rather the authors make money from your purchase.

All of us who are photographers would love to make a regular income from the hobby or profession we love. None of us want to be told that it is difficult, it takes time and not many people make it. These dubious dealers give the impression that anyone can make money from their photos. Rubbish! If you take a look at the stock sites and see the quality of images for sale, you'll realise that unless you are really talented you will never produce the quality that the buyers are looking for. Do yourself a favour. Do a search on the name of the ebook author who makes all of these claims using Google and then go to the major stock sites and do the same. Where are these authors making their money? From you! If it was so easy why don't they have thousands of images on the stock sites? I rest my case.

Take a look at the guidelines for submission on the stock sites. Every last one of them requires a camera that takes a high resolution image. Some even state that they'll only accept images taken on certain mid-range to high-end digital SLRs. Don't even think that you will be able to compete with your compact camera. You stand no chance. Your images are just not big enough.

I have been on seminars given by successful stock photographers from the microstock sites and all them state that it is tough, demands long hours of work and takes a long time to make a reasonable income. Some never make it despite quality, dedication and a lot of effort. It is not a part-time money making machine as claimed by the ebook authors.

So what does it really take to make money from your camera, if it is at all possible for the amateur? You have to make a decision to dedicate yourself to your photography even if it is part-time. Carefully consider the following points:

1. Dedication to the art of photography

If you are not a dedicated photographer striving for excellence in your art there is no real money to be made. Sorry that's the bottom line. There are so many talented artists producing high quality images that you do not stand a chance if you cannot compete in this field. You need to up your standards and create images that are very high quality.

2. Dedication to detail

Every detail in your image needs to be perfect. This is what the buyer is looking for. He doesn't come along and say, "now which poor point-and-shooter can I help make money today"? When a buyer is planning to put a photo on a billboard every detail must be perfect. Examine your images and ask yourself, "Would I see this image in a magazine?"

3. Dedication to quality

99.9% of snapshots won't make it past the stock site evaluators. Their standards are very high. Sharpness, great colours and perfect composition are just some of the factors you must take into consideration when planning to sell your images. You have to be a photographer, either a pro or dedicated amateur regularly looking at the quality of your images and pushing the limits. Look at the books and magazines and compare your photos. Do they compete? If the answer is yes then you are getting close. The ebooks say that there are millions of people looking for photos for the school and class assignments or projects who will buy your images. Get real! If they have the opportunity to buy an ordinary snapshot or a high quality image shot by a top photographer both selling for a dollar, which would they choose?

4. Dedication to discipline

Discipline is key to any hobby or vocation and especially so with photography. You need to be disciplined in your learning and improving your skills constantly. You need to be disciplined in your shooting and editing your images. And, you need to be disciplined in your submission of quality images to the stock libraries and photo sites. It's a numbers game. The more quality content you have out in the market the more chance you have of buyers selecting your images. You cannot do it on a whim or when you feel motivated to do it. It is essential to have a commitment to the task and a disciplined overall process.

5. Dedicated to achieving results

If at first you don't succeed try and try again. If at first you don't get the results you desire don't give up or try something else. Keep at it until you see results. It's like the little green shoot popping its head above the soil or the tip of the iceberg. You are building the roots that will support the later growth of your business. If you don't have a results driven motivation to see it to the end you will not achieve the success you set out to attain.

It's a hard uphill road to success with photography. The photo world is competitive and saturated with good quality images. If you are to succeed you must break through the barrier from great to outstanding. You must stand head and shoulders above the rest in your quality and excellence.

Why To Consider Taking Photography Courses

If you have a camera and have never taken any photography courses, you are probably missing out on a lot of the things that your camera can do. Especially newer digital cameras have a wide range of specialized functions that are not utilized during the 'point and shoot' method of picture-taking that most amateurs perform.


Taking a proper course on the subject can teach you how to focus your camera properly, how to solve problems such as shaking, and how to employ certain steps so that your photos are always the best that they can be. Learning how to set up your camera the same way that professionals set up theirs will allow you to see what the benefits of experience have taught these master photographers.


Cameras have various modes that are usually available by turning a dial or flicking a switch. Some have settings that you may not even know about, and many times amateur photographers are unsure about which mode to use in a given situation. The manual can help some, but getting more detailed advice from professionals in the field will probably be of greater use.


Things like horizontal and vertical lines that you can make your camera display in order to locate the subject of the photo optimally on the screen, and adjustments in the exposure compensation settings are capabilities you might not even know your camera has. They are easy to use once you know how, but if you don't do some careful exploring or take a course on the subject, you probably wouldn't ever find them.


Something that people who are used to film cameras might not even think about is that their digital camera's flash can likely be turned both up and down, as well as on and off. This allows for better exposures at all levels of light, because the flash can be customized to the situation. Important information like this can only be learned though careful study of your camera, whether via a course or researching the subject yourself.


Learning how to take better pictures isn't all that you can learn. Check before enrolling, but some classes even offer training on what to do with your photographs after they have been taken, in order to improve the picture. This includes things like when to crop photos and why, and how much and which parts of the photos should be cropped.


Of course, not everyone has the time or money to go to a course on the subject, so there are DVDs of the classes available from some companies online. Once you receive the discs, you can watch them at your leisure when you have the free time, and stop the recordings while you try things out on your camera. You can also re-watch the discs as many times as necessary if you are having trouble understanding something.


The main advantage to taking photography courses is that everything you wanted to learn about your camera is right there in one place. You could fairly easily learn all this by yourself, if you sat down and thumbed through the information about your camera in the manual and online, but you wouldn't know what was important, or how to best utilize all the different abilities a digital camera has. By taking a course, you can learn from the pros what you should and shouldn't do for perfect pictures.

Visual Arts and Writing Camps?

I'm applying to a few different camps for this summer. The SCAD Summer Seminars in Savannah, for workshops in mixed media and jewelry making or digital photography. Converse College Young Writers Camp, Sewanee Young Writers Conference, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts Teen Creative Writing Residency.
Has anyone been to any of these camps? And would you recommend it? What was it like? Any tips or advice? Thanks.


I'd suggest checking out Westminster College's Writing Your World summer camp. It's a week long, residential camp and some of the scheduled workshops include poetry, creative writing, a tour of the newspaper and meeting with reporters, nature hikes and free writing, author's tea, and other activities. Plus, if you're a junior or senior, you can earn two college credits.

Do You Need Hd For Your Presentations?

What is HD and do you really need it for your next presentation?


HD stands for "high definition" and, as the name implies, refers to the image quality of television or video. HD TV is a type of television signal, broadcast in the 16:9 aspect ratio (as compared to NTSC's 4:3 aspect ratio). HDTV resolutions are increased from 640 x 480 to either 1922 x 1080 (or 1080i) or 1280 x 720 (or 720p). Because the HDTV signal is digital (rather than analog), the signal can carry huge amounts of information, including full digital audio with multiple channels.


Many television viewers prefer HD because of its vivid, lifelike imagery. Additionally, HD viewing offers the ultimate showcase of the finest details. Finally, the aspect ratio of HD viewing mirrors that of traditional film.


Whether or not you need HD for your next speaking presentation depends on the nature of the material you're presenting. The more detailed your presentation images, the more appealing (and necessary) HD becomes. Got complex graphics? Detailed imagery? Some examples of presentations requiring HD might include: photography training, video editing, detailed charts and graphs, statistical data, film and entertainment industry, high-profile presentations (where it pays to impress by going the extra mile), etc.


Likewise, if you are incorporating movie clips (or perhaps plan to play a DVD with your projector), then HD is definitely an added bonus.


Your audience is another factor in determining whether or not you need HD technology. How large is your audience? How close will they be seated to the projection screen? What kind of lighting is available in the room? How familiar are the attendees with the material you're presenting?


Keep in mind that HD provides more detail -- of everything. If your audience is large, spread out, far from the screen, has limited vision, or the room is dimly lit, it may make sense to choose the HD option.


Finally, consider what kind of image you are choosing to project. High definition viewing appears more professional, more polished, more credible. If your goal is to impress your audience or to project a certain air of professionalism or authority, HD may be the logical choice for your presentation.


Once you consider all of these questions, it should become evident to you whether or not HD is required in your presentation.


If you choose to rent a projector, be sure to ask whether it is HD compatible if you plan to present in HD.

Make Money With Your Basic Digital Camera

Seven Ways to Make Money Part Time!

For more than 25 years, I've made good money taking photographs. For 12 years I had my own studio, which was built on past experience as a freelancer. For the next 12 years I worked for a manufacturer of criminal investigation equipment—writing technical manuals and taking accompanying photos.

I was introduced to digital photography shortly after joining this company. I was handed a Canon D30—a 3.5 megapixel, single lens reflex model. I literally wore out this camera. It got to the point that the sensor was showing weakness in the center of the images I was getting. This camera was replaced with a Canon Rebel, 10.5 megapixel model.

I tried to buy a D30 for my personal use, but it had been discontinued, so I settled for the Canon D-60 with 6.5 megapixels. The D-60 was discontinued about six months after I bought it.

Now some of what I've said so far may already be over your head. I plan to show you how to gain the knowledge you need to do what I suggest—make money—even with a basic camera.

My current personal arsenal of cameras now includes three Canons: a 50D, a Rebel XSi and a PowerShot A630. The PowerShot is rated at 8.0 megapixels and it is the camera I carry with me in the trunk of my car.

Now let's get to the meat of this article. How you can make money even with a low cost basic "point-and-shooter." My PowerShot is a wonder of digital engineering. It has many of the bells and whistles of my 50D (15.1 megapixels). Notice I said MANY, but not all!

I paid over $1,000 for the 50D with lens. I paid $200 for a used PoweShot. Most of the photos I take with the PowerShot look absolutely great in the standard print size of 4" x 6". My 50D can produce full color, knockout prints, up to 24" x 30" and possibly larger.

The moral here is if you want to earn extra money using a basic camera—like my PowerShot, you need to explore markets that require smaller images. Here are just a few:

Seven Ideas for making a Good Part Time Living

1. Website photos. I recently did a photo shoot for a local attorney at his office. He staged the entire photo shoot and supplied the people(Family and friends) depicted in the shots. It took about 1½  hours. My regular charge in this city is $300.00

2. Home Inventory. Fire, storm damage and theft are best proven by photographs. But photos are also an ideal method of recording what you had in place before the incident occurred. Don't expect to claim that your 54" flat screen plasma TV was stolen if you don't have a photo showing it in place. I charge a basic fee of $75.00 plus $25.00 per room.

3. Newspapers and local magazines. The economy has slammed the print media over the past few years. News reporters and photographers have been laid off or furloughed. But editors still need photos. Make up a portfolio of your work and visit the editors. I charge $20-$25.00 per hour, and this is a bargain for most places since they save on employee benefits, salaries, etc.

4. Real Estate. Many realtors take their own photos and some I've seen really look like it. Anyone can shoot exteriors—it's the interior shots take pose the biggest challenge. Since your point-and-shooter has a tiny little fixed flash that may be good up to about 10-12 feet., a different light source is called for. I consider lighting one of the most critical elements of a photograph. My answer is to use available light, but this is a subject you can learn.

5. Low Budget Weddings. In the past few months I completed two of these. And yes, my PowerShot was used as a backup camera. I also did a 25th anniversary party. My charge for three hours of coverage is $595.00. I guarantee a minimum of 100 usable images and these are provided to the couple on a DVD. Additional DVDs cost $15.00 each and we put these same images up on a FREE website where family and friends can download the images they want.

6. Special Events. This is a broad topic that includes birthdays, retirement parties, neighborhood block parties, performances (school plays, musicals, graduations, etc.)

7. Fund Raisers. This is can be a real money-maker, depending on the size of the group. This idea sells well for churches, volunteer organizations (Fire and EMS services) and civic organizations. The deal I offer is that the sponsor has no expense. I give each family participating one free 8" x 10" print. From that point on we offer packages. This need not be seasonal in that people like to have family photos all year ‘round.

So how do I get business? I depend on three sources:

1. Word of mouth from family, friends and acquaintances. I have two large budget weddings scheduled during the peak wedding season that will each produce over $1,000 in profit for about four to five hours work.

2. Website: I maintain a website for my studio without walls. All of the work I do is on location.

3. CraigsList. I advertise on CraigsList, which is free so I have no advertising costs.

Have I given you some good ideas? I have barely scratched the surface of the potential for you to make a great part time income, which could easily grow to full time—so long as you get good referrals. And this will happen if you provide VALUE and SERVICE. In other words, you must produce memorable, excellent quality work. To accomplish this, please consider some formal training. You will only learn so much from your camera's owner's manual.
