Two months ago I started to learn about photography, even made Instagram and some profiles on Photo sharing websites. Till now I didn't have much success, but an every new day is a new challenge. I found out it is not advisable to snap dogs, unless they are super friendly and that taking photos in rain is not a very smart idea after all. I still do all my snaps with my smartphone, so it is a pretty amateurish hobby. Do you have experience with photo websites and can you advise me any that is user friendly for a noob snappers like me.

There was one site that I joined and uploaded photos to earn but it didn't end up well for me. Well, I take picture of my dog but mine doesn't have a led flash light on it.

oh ok. I used Normal type of flash, no additional filters. A picture was taken just after the rain so colors are very intense. The background light is dimmed because it was cloudy and it additionally enhances the natural colors.

No experience. But I have heard you can earn extra income selling your photos. Try it!

I have found some pages, but either a price is too low or I don't get the rules. On some pages pictures are hosted, but they are reportedly the slow burners...

Hello and welcome to myLot. Enjoy the site! Photo websites usually show just any photos which are uploaded. Many photos are cringeworthily bad. I'd advise you to check the local library (photo books are very expensive) for books with photos by the great masters. Looking at good photos sharpens your perception. There are also books out there which explain what makes a photo good. I can't mention titles because I don't know English ones. Dreaming of extra income with photography is a bit premature in my opinion.

Thanks for a great advice, I will follow it. You indeed have a point by saying that watching is learning.

Deep red, vibrant pink, royal purple and lemon yellow, fuchsia and baby blue... I really love colors, pallets and painting, coloring and photography. I don't have a good hearing so I compensate it visually.
