Hahahha thanks guys
Btw I love lemonade, but how bout that Kool-Aid, you know y'all want some rofl
I've been to flea markets, I've even bought things there, but never sold anything, though one of my sisters has... it sure looked like alot of work for little reward & no fun to me...gee, it's NOTHING like this stock photography thing is it? nahhhhh! hehehhe
But as to being nervous, well that's partly just me being my typical self. I want to be good at things...lots of things, though I also know I'll never be the greatest at lots of things, some because I don't have the aptitude, or the kind of skills I can ever learn, or the energy hahaha. But taking photos is something I can enjoy, so I'm doing that a lot. Of course I have some that I think are pretty good, not pro quality of course, but I also know that sometimes there are people out there that see things just like a non-pro like me does and also might like it I just hold out hope that some of those people are buyers hahaha. Maybe I'll be selling to bloggers more than corporations, and I'm okay with that, because I don't expect to make a million dollars here...but it sure would be nice I bet you all agree
I'll keep taking pictures, maybe I'll even brave some more critiques in the future, hahaha. I could be nuts enough to ask for a critique every time I near a new 100 mark... say the next one at 200 photos lol. Keep myself down to earth that way
I do actually really appreciate everyone taking time to comment though. I know sometimes because I don't go slow & ask one question at a time, people just don't really hear me past my ramblings and just try to calm me down hehhehe. So if any of you ever pop in and just have a picture here or there that you can comment on, so that I know what/where to improve, I'd definitely appreciate it I'm slowly going back and trying to add more keywords to my first submission photos, as well as add more photos (which I think is probably more important due to my first photos either being not as much for stock, or just that there's already way too many on SS already...like the flowers).
I am going to work on adding my first editorials right now. If anyone has any tips on ways to speed up keywording or how to work on metadata when you have a series of photos you want to add, I'd love to hear it
Thanks again everyone. I'm glad I joined the forum and asked for a critique and started meeting people here at SS!!
