Even though I don't have the habit of taking pictures, my girlfriend loves taking pictures with her mobile. Since the pictures are of high quality, my PC is flooded with pictures. I never thought of selling the pictures though & I think I can make some money with those pictures if I start selling those.

You are entirely right. You can make a very nice profit with pictures. I have found they do bring in a substantial monthly income for me.

Actually there are quite a few places. Some i didn't like. There are some that will upload your pictures free of charge, while others want you to pay a fee. I didn't particularly like some of them, while i thought others were quite good. I put mine on my own website, which i still need to add some of my pictures to it. You may want to take a look at land.vstore.ca . You can also open your own webstore there, and i think it's still free.

I enjoy taking pictures with every chance I get. I like to capture the moment of family events, birthdays and just hanging around in the house. I still use a disposible camera...lol I still think they're the best!

Disposable cameras are great to have on hand. I have a digital camera that i use most of the time. It is costly though, since i have to use the good batteries in it, or it won't work. I have taken some great pictures with a regular camera and with disposable cameras.

That is true. Dollar store batteries just won't make it, in a digital camera. I have tried those, only to find myself in a fantastic place, with no batteries.

I love to take pictures especially when there's an occasion but sad to say I don't have a camera. I just borrowed from my friends whenever necessary. It's my dream to take pictures, not to be a professional photographer but just a hobby. It's fun to have a souvenir picture when you travel.

Then by all means, borrow a camera; go shopping; go to a garage sale; a flea market. There are cameras to be found everywhere, literally. Good low cost ones, are fairly easy to find. Your hobby could net you a full time career with just a little time and the patience to try it.

I love pictures but i never have taken too many since my sons were small. I use to take pics of my grandson & my digital camera broke so i haven't taken any in awhile of him. I get quite a few from my son & i love them.

Disposable cameras work just as good as they use to, and you can have them put on disk so that you can download them to your computer. Great technology. I use the digital mostly, but i still use the disposable from time to time, and they work out really well.

I am not a professional photographer at all, no. But I do love to take photos. I mainly like taking photos whilst I am on holiday, or on special occasions. I don't think I am particularly good at it, but it is important for me to be able to capture memories. I usually keep photos saved on my computer and the really special ones I get printed and sometimes framed.

I do take a lot of pictures but for no particular reason. sometimes i share them with friends and family. sometimes i might mess around with them in photoshop but usually they just sit on the hard drive and every once in a while i look back at them. there have been a few instances where i found use for them like in birthday cards or other projects.

Keep working at it. The more you do, the better you get. A couple of years ago, i came out with some really bad shots, now days, i find, that i have some very nice shots. Keep taking those pictures, you'll soon develop an eye for those great shots.

I love taking pictures, but I am not good at that job. I don't own a camera too. So, I don't know the specifications of the camera. I just try using my husband's camer and try to explore things. But, I accept that I am not good at that and I take horrible pictures. But, I hope I will improve in the future.

Of course, you will improve. Try taking pictures from different angles, or taking simple pictures, like of flowers, clouds, and even pictures of food that you cook. Just arrange it nicely and snap those pictures. It may be a little difficult at first, but after a while, you notice where you can improve.

I can understand that completely. I have been out and about this week end, we had the parade and festival in our small town this weekend, and i took lots of pictures. I have not even had the time, to download them yet.

Yeah. I love taking pictures. I have a camera but it is expensive to do experiments because it has negatives. Still I tried my best to fulfill my wishes but at a cost. I am a nature lover and so are my pictures. No I am an amature photographer. But if I have a digital camera then I will surely carry on my experiments.

You must be a little more advanced, since you have that type of camera. Do you also do exposures in a dark room?

No,no that is not my cup of tea. Fixing the source of light and its impact on the picture is a difficult one. But if one can do that expect great photographs. Photography at night, at morning needs different sense of calculation.

I love to take pictures, but do so as a hobby, as I don't have any nice equipment. I would like someday to get a Canon EOS 10-13 MP camera with a 300mm lens, but totally can't afford it now, or anytime soon for that matter. I have a Canon Powershot right now, and love some of the effects I can get on it, like the color enhancement and stuff. From what I hear, only Canon offers that onboard the camera, so that's why I stick with Canon over Nikon. I also use a computer photo editor to help enhance my pictures if they need it.
Photography is a fun hobby for me...but that's about it...
Have a great day!

You know, i sometimes use a regular camera, and now days, they simply put them on disk, if you request it. Not much extra in the cost either. I have had that done on occasion. Digital cameras are nice though, just more expensive. I do like digital, i have to admit.

Takening picture's is fun! I take pictures of skateboarding related. I myself is thinking about going to college for photography. The pictures I take are always some place where a person can see or just to look at it. The complements the people give me, the advice and tips, are just helpful and more wanting me to be into this career. It give's me a way to enjoy life better.

Taking pictures can start out as a hobby. Just grab a camera, and start taking pictures. Take them from different angles to get the best shots that you can. Keep the best ones for you portfolio. Or, you can even start your own business.

The more people encourage me. I get more excited to what I am to do with the rest of my life. Just thinking ahead in life, I smile at the great things are there for the open. I do think I can make it on my own. Knowing exactly what I could do in my life is a good way to start. I love it!
Thanks for Helping me out.:D

Of course, you can make it. Be confident, and willing to work at what ever you choose to do.

Hello friend. I do enjoy taking photos, but it is one of my hobbies only. I have taken thousands of photos using my cameras. Some of them are printed because they were not taken by digital cameras, but old-style camera. Some more of them are taken by digital cameras and a lot of them are just kept in my computer. I think that taking photos is a lot of fun to me.
