How do I sell images off my website? Hey all, I’ve been shooting local sports for a few years now. Whenever people ask if they can buy an image, I usually just give it to them (if it’s family), but figure it’s time to figure out the best way to sell them off my website. How does one go about finding a printing service? TIA submitted by /u/j_aca_j

Why did these lines happen only in the rink photos? Can it be fixed? Hi, I found these lines on ALL the photos of the rink itself, the pictures I took of the players in the box didn’t have them. There was a clear barrier I was shooting through, but as you can see in the box photo, the barrier was there as well. I shot at various ISO and shutter speeds hoping to minimize, but the lines are still terrible. Was it s…

What is this this ugly color “fringing”, and how can it be avoided? Despite taking small product photos (ebay etc.) with my iPhone 13 Pro for awhile, I just started noticing a subtle color fringing around both (blown) highlights as well as non-reflective white (e.g. white paint).

Got myself a soft box with 350W light but is it enough for portrait photography and is it bright enough if used indoors? What else do I need?

Got myself a soft box with 350W light but is it enough for portrait photography and is it bright enough if used indoors? What else do I need? Originally wanted to get photos of myself professionally taken but it costs a lot of money.

I did a few searches online that suggested having a soft box is essential, I’ve seen a few videos. I have a NIKON …
