Hi: I shot the following pictures with a Kodak LS753 camera. Your
comments are appreciated.

I hope it works, and doesn't just connect to a webshots blank page.

If that doesn't work, perhaps this will:

(just click on 'no thanks').

My wife says that i can sell some of my pictures, but in my opinion
they are nice, but there is alot of wonderful professionals out that
there that can beat these.

I tried posting the link before but it didn't work and reposted a
corrected link but it didn't seem to ever appear. Trying again.
Hope it works.

Richard,

At the risk of repeating some of the comments of others, I don't think
you could sell any of these pictures, but you do show the signs of
having a good eye. With some changes and experience you would improve
very much. Don't think of this as discouraging, many people seem to be
unable to frame a picture at any price.



Snip of EXCELLENT commentary and advice from D. Littlewood


(I) Realise (at least in my case!) that selling photos is just too
frustrating, and that there are other ways of making a lot more money
which leaves you time to please yourself!

YMMV

Hope you find this helpful, do come back with any specific issues.

David


You're a good guy, David.

Great post and suggestions.
I would only add one thing, which is to anyone else listening regarding
exposure...
-Even though it's old news, I continue to be AMAZED at the ability to
recover poorly exosed shots during RAW processing(!!). Truly amazing. RSE
is particularly good for doing this quickly, with results immediately
revealed and duplicated for similarly problematic shots. I think many here
on this forum continue to cheat themselves out of perhaps the most powerful
aspecdt of digital by ignoring their RAW image capabilities. What an
incredibly enabling tool!

I suspect the OP wasn't using a camera that offers RAW mode, but for others,
I guess this is just one more plug to give RAW a whirl--Especially with such
excellent and FREE tools like RSE, which make the whole RAW issue intuitive
and simple.
