find a subject, empty space is not working for you.

Also get a polarizer and then decide to either hate the landscape and desaturate more or like it and saturate more.

i know i have a bad rep but i do try to save my uber trolling for gear threads (because they get answered instantly) when im talking about photos im generally giving good advice, even if it seems bitchy. I cant help it, you wont learn if you just say good things.

But theres a difference between "Man, you photos suck" and "Hey, not so great, here's how you can fix it". You can tell people the truth and not be mean about it. And you can be nice and give constructive advice.

That's how people learn, not by constant belittlement and animosity.

BTW, its not just you. So much hate by so many people. Consider this an open letter, if you will.

What you like isn't necessarily what everybody else likes, butterfly. The Criticism given in /P/ should be light hearted and constructive, not brutal and offensive.

Eg: "HAHA this pictures fucking terrible, and heres why..."

NOT

"LOL, GO KILL YOURSLF, you faggot, Shit sux, borders, fucking fail..."

WTF are they gonna get out of that? seriously.

I've sold a few, in the process of preparing to go out and hit up coffee and book shops to sell prints, which I hear is one of the better ways to start to make money. Building rep you know.

Anyway find a subject matter that you think will sell, print, matte, maybe frame it. Then approach places likely to sell that kind of photo. They get a hanging fee, you get the rest.

Has butterfly EVER posted any of her own pictures? All I see is her being an insolent cunt in every goddamn thread, fuck off bitch.

It's a decent picture, but most people won't buy photography for artistic merit unless you're very impressive. You can list your stuff on DeviantART (in b4 shitstorm) and make a few bucks, but you're better off advertising bitch work on Craigslist or for local shops.

HIM...Butterfly was never a woman.

Yeah i've finally started to sell some of my stuff.

Mostly Niche shit like street shots of China and landscapes and urbanscapes.

I got lucky, a mate of mine is an Art Dealer so he's been able to sell shit to people who can afford to pay a premium...

I'm feeling pretty fuckin good.

Butterfly was also never a photographer.

I'm not going to try to sell my work until I feel I'm at a level I'm comfortable with.

I don't want anyone to own anything of mine that I won't be happy with in 1 year from now.

hell, if someone wants to pay for one of my photos i couldnt care if its absolute shit cos theyre the ones paying for it!

on the other hand, if it was going to be blatantly obvious that i took the photo, i.e billboard in the C.B.D with my name clearly visible and it was a photo no-one else liked except for the guy/company using it id feel a bit weird having people think "wtf was I||ICIT thinking with that photo"

The only reason why I'm on dA is because to me it's a good place for people to look at my photography/art.. potential clients, friends, family.. etc.
I might wipe it eventually once I manage to obtain a good flash photo script (auto slideshow, custom music..)
