Slovenian - she's just starting out and looking for a bit of advice to get going. I just don't feel that's the stage to be smacking people over the head with the top 15 sellers at IS, as if they're all that counts.

If you work steadily and find your way, you can do well. If you're defeated at the first hurdle by seemingly unobtainable goals, you'll give up and make zilch. There are many good places to land between 'zilch' and 'multi-millionaire'.

nop, you need to understand there are some folks that only do and sell best sellers, right from the start

I doubt it very much... All the success stories we hear from musicians, footballers, artists are the same. Lots of hard work is required to perfect something. Why would taking photographs be any different??

Hi guys,

Thanks for the advice! As I said I am totally new to this and still learning... I bought my digital slr only 2 weeks ago. I just like taking photos and I am trying to find a way to pay for more equipment so I will be happy with 100 quid per month :-)

And yes the place was Beachy Head near Eastbourne, England.

I take critique as a step to improve so don't worry about being agressive, I will survive!

I am practicing my new skills this weekend and will post some more pictures once I am confident that they look good and are commercially viable ones.

Thanks,

Helena

Hi there,

I wanted to submit some photos but I am not sure if they are good enough yet.

I have numbered them so it is easier for you guys to refer to the pics.

Let me know what you think! Looking forward to your critique!!

Thanks a lot!!
