    Is there a Web place to sell your photos?

    I took a bunch of pictures at a horse show last weekend and I wouold love to give people a chance to buy them.... Does anyone know of a site where I can post and sell my photos... with out a rediculous charge.... plus it neeeds to be somewhat easy to use... because I am mostly helpless when it comes to this stuff... I can figure it out but finding it to start with is hard for me...help any one ideas?....
    how do you guys market?... is there a good way to get your photos out there and for sale?....

Then They came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionists. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came after me- and by that time NO ONE WAS LEFT TO SPEAK UP."

    www.smugmug.com is one, but I know that there are others.

    Others here can tell you what they are and what advantages each one has.

    Good luck.

    What are each of your experiences with these sites? Ease, reliability, payment? What do you think of them?

    If you Google 'Equine Picture Agencies', plenty of opportunities arrise.

    'The Equine Directory' is International.

    I'm a member of Auscape International Picture Agency and have been for a long time. Being in Australia is terrific, many International agencies come to Auscape looking for shots. If you can deal through a picture agency the dollars are very good when you make a sale, mostly sales to publications but publishers request specific images.

    If you write articles as well as supply the photograph, your work can be more saleable and can give a better return through picture agencies.

    I'm a member of the deviantART site for artists. I joined earlier this month. http://wildwassa.deviantart.com. You might find that the ways to sell your work on this site suit you, if you don't like doing the paper work and what artist does? Collating orders, getting the printing done and fee collecting is really boring. Anyone wanting work, orders directly through deviantART. deviantArt will even frame the images.

    This chap, Denis Oliver is set up most tidily on deviantART, http://denisolivier.deviantart.com You will see that his print fees are very sturdy. If you hunt around the site by clicking on nanes and images, I think you will enjoy your time. I don't sell my photos on deviantART, that is why Denis Oliver's Gallery is a good one to look at firstly.

    There are picture agencies using the deviantART site to show the work of their photographers.

    You are able to use deviantART as your web contact and web address and you can set up your gallery and journal and home page with your advertizing to suit your needs.

    The possibilities are endless.

    Warren.

    You can set up a pbase gallery and sell them from there.

    --Edit my photos as part of your commentary if you want to.--
