Online photography resources

i recently bought a couple of items from www.picstop.co.uk and they were great.
they have a very good question answering service where people actually reply within a few hours of the email and next day delivery did just what it said on the tin.

plus the prices all seem quite reasonable

They seem very cheap for memory cards...I am going to buy one from them!

I realise that it's very difficult to check when buying cards online, but there are fake cards circulating at "too good to be true" prices. Examples include SanDisk Ultra II 2GB CF cards. These are actually 18x rather that 60x cards. Apparently, they have a serial number of SDCFB. Should be SDCFH.

I'll have a blow of my own trumpet too then. I travel the world specialisising in photographing historic & classic sports / racing cars. Here in the U.K. I work for some of the premier dealers & private collectors. My extensive library of these shots is at www.fluidimages.co.uk. I also specialise in printing photos to canvas (all of my images are available for printing), having invested in a state-of-ther-art large format Epson 9600. Quality & service is second to none - see www.fluid-images.co.uk.

Are any of the photostock sites free to join? I just looked at Shutterstock and it's £80 per month. I don't have that kind of money!

That may be so, buy my Shutterstock earnings are over $400 per month

Given that microstock photography isnt the best loved subject on this forum, I'll be bold and suggest we dont clutter up this excellent Golden Resources thread with any more stock talk. Mail me if you like with questions. One more link I havnt added here yet is www.lockstockphotography.com which covers the basics of microstock photography, including how much you can earn.
