Question by Ricky Bobby: Digital Photography?
I would like to get into digital photography in a serious way. I’ve got my SLDR camera + accessories and am studying my exposures and focal lengths. I’ve heard of amateur photographers getting noticed, even selling their work. How does one get started? Should I start some website and post my photos? What’s the best way to get noticed? And how do you actually go about selling them?
………..
of course, I meant DSLR camera.
Thanks for the answers sofar. Any budding digital photographers here have a blog site with their photos and details of how they took the picture? If so, also grateful if you could leave your blogsite so I can have a look and see how it’s supposed to be done. Many thanks for all your answers thusfar!

Answer by Karl W from pharmacy technician certification
Let me start by saying this: it’s very difficult to sell photographs. That being said, the easiest way to get started is to do a blog. You can post images there and describe what’s in the pictures and how you did the shots. Also, PBase is an online photo gallery where you can sign up and start uploading images. There is some amazing stuff there – definitely worth looking at even if you don’t sign up. Then, there are online stock agencies. I would suggest Alamy because it’s relatively easy to get started. Then, finally, check into a local photo club. Clubs often have competitions in different categories, and these things are a good learning opportunity. You can see what others are doing and you can learn from judges comments. Sometimes, you may get to exhibit photos with the club for sale at local municipal buildings, etc. Good luck!

Question by k_hamblen: What basic equipment is needed for for wedding photography?
I would consider myself a fairly serious amateur photographer and have mainly shot landscapes. My friend saw some photos that I had taken and asked if I could take her wedding pictures. I told her that I was in no way a professional and that I could not guarantee the “perfect” wedding portraits. She said that she knew that and wanted me to take them anyway. Now I am wondering what type of lighting and lenses would best suit wedding photography. I can probably think of some things but I just thought I would ask so that I don’t miss anything that would make my pictures better than they would be otherwise. Thank you for your help.

I am wondering because I have been doing photography for the last 2 years. So I am relatively new. But I have specialized in infant and child portraiture. I just recently was asked to do a wedding, and that wedding turned into another one. I am thinking about expanding my business to include wedding photography. What are some reasonable prices/packages for wedding photography?
