Making money with your camera

I haven't heard of this earning option just yet, but it sounds like a fun way to make some money online. I know I would be interested, but I surely haven't a 10 megapixel camera, so I would have to look for website that has some less steep requirements for the camera. I do have photoshop so if that's allowed I could edit them and make them prettier . Thanks for bringing the idea to mind, I will have a look into it.

This is great. I have my own camera too and it has a megapixel of 7.5 so I guess it is not bad. I really don't know that I can make money from the camera itself. Thanks for sharing this and let me know if you got successful with this field. From now on, I will try to visit the above suggestions from other responder and explore more for this field of interest.

I wish that I had some advice to give you but I have not heard of this before. I have a camera and I love to tske pictures. Let me know how it works out for you and maybe I will give it a try. Thanks!

If the stock photo sites allow edited photos, then i suggest you install Adobe Photoshop on your computer. You can try ACDSee too so you can manage your photos well in your computer. ACDSee's got a lot of cool features (..the includes cropping). I'm not sure if you really need an expensive camera since you're just starting. A decent camera will do. There are some guides really on how to take pictures like for example, you don't need to position your human subject at the center. You need to place your subject somewhere on the side so the background will be complemented and will make your picture fuller.

Very interesting way to earn money , I'm sure you'll do great. There's no harm in trying and there are a lot of way to improve quality of photos (if the website permits - as mentioned by a previous comment)

You're discussion is very interesting. I'm also interested in photography and this info is really nice for extra income. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.

I would love to know about some of thsoe sites you are talking about to make money with your camera. I knwo about zazzle. But haven't figured that one out yet. Please feel free to send me link through private message here or names of the sites for me to look up.

I wish you good luck in your quest. Unfortunately I am totally ignorant in this sphere. I am eager to read what other mylotters have to say about this subject.

Stock sites vary a lot in their requirements. If the sites have accepted your pictures, then your camera is "good enough" ~ what they want apart from quality images is file size. That best translates to megapixels: if you have a 10 megapixel camera or better, that will be fine. Each site also has conditions and suggestions for the kind of images they prefer: read through those, and while you at it, make sure you know how they treat ownership and licensing of your photos, as well as commissions. Micro-stock sites are volume sites selling your photos for cents per download. If your pictures are popular, they can generate a reasonable income eventually. Other sites provide a larger commission per image based on the end-use of the picture, while others simply link you with potential buyers, leaving the business side to you. You =may have better luck with a site like ImageKind or RedBubble, or better yet, Zazzle.com where your images are either printed and framed or made into various articles (T-Shirts, mugs, badges, skateboards, mouse mats, shoes, etc. etc.) and sold on your behalf. Have a look at my gallery on Zazzle and explore the sort of things you can do: www.zazzle.com/practicaps
