Stumble It! If you have a point and shoot camera, you can compete with those who have the fancy DSLR's. Some of my best and most profitable shots were made with the Sony H1 through H5 cameras. These cameras were particularly great for landscape shots. The picture is of my old Sony H1 Camera with the telescope extender attached. 1. Use the timer on your camera. You will have less blurry

Stumble It! In photography there are certain ways to assure an income. One thing to keep in mind, though - you have to be good. Event photography brings immediate results. The selling scenario: A simple formula to follow is if there is avid interest in an activity and you can capture things that stir people's emotional ties, those photos will sell. This is how I do this: I go to an

Stumble It! If you are like me, photo editing is always a quest for finding the best tools. We just want each of our images to be more impressive than the one before. We strive for excellence. And that quest can empty your pockets pretty quick. Soon you learn, though, what works best for you and find that many of those expensive filters you have bought have remained unused. Now, I have some

Stumble It! What is Flickr? Flickr is the largest social photo sharing site in the world. Last time I checked, about six million photos are uploaded daily. They offer both free accounts and pro accounts. The cost of a pro account is 24.95 USD, which is a good investment even if you just use it as an online photo storage site. With a Pro account you have unlimited uploads in the original size
