Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…'

Ever wondered how to do this on a mock up web site? What is lipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Here’s the interpreter?

New DSLR camera

I registered with the Sydney based photo art site. Then I went through every photo I’d taken with my digital camera except those I’d lost. I lost all of my American shots, damn it. I’ve now backed up all my other photos on a flash drive. You should take note of a posting I did about storing photos online. You can add Ph.Art to that list now as you can upload to a private gallery there.

Then I submitted a few photos. So far, one has been declined because of its subject matter and one has been accepted. You can see my photos  at  PhotoArt here.  Hopefully, by the time you click on that link, more photos will have been selected.

Then after much research, I bought a DSLR  from an online site. It is a Canon DSLR (EOS 1000D) for under $1000. Some of the best and most expensive compact digitals were as expensive, so I think I got a good deal. Can’t wait to use it. I’ll need to get out of Melbourne soon.

I love the fact that this new site where you can sell photos is Australian. It just feels better, as many of the photos you see are of Australia. Many of the ones I submitted were of a Tasmanian trip I did a few years ago. You cannot fail to take a good photo in Tasmania.

How to make money with digital photography

Posted on by

I have been a photographer for many years and have done courses and developed my own photos. Now though, I only use a digital camera a Canon Power Shot S30 in fact. I bought a digital camera very early on and paid a fortune at the time. Since then, digital cameras have come down in price and my 3.2 mega pixel capacity is not as I’d like it. Nevertheless, I can still take quite large photos of excellent quality with the camera set on ‘large’ resolution. You can get 10 pixel cameras now for quite small prices.

Now, to get your photos ready for stock photo sites, for which you will get some money if your photo is bought, you will really need Photo Shop. I know it is expensive but it is the best. It has every feature you would want for web design, brochures, leaflets and any thing else that these stock photo sites like. You can look at my free editor page but none of them do the job that Photo Shop does and if you are serious about photography you need it.

There are heaps of Photo Shop tutorials free on the Internet, but to have them all together and to be able to look up an index, a book still serves the best function. PhotoShop for Windows & Macintosh is one of them.

You can use these stock photos at Cafe Press. Make a calendar, or any product and sell it. Or use them for brochures, book covers, web page backgrounds.

Should you want to set up your own stock photo site you can use the software package PhotoStore. PhotoStore is a professional, user friendly, web based software package that enables you to publish and sell your photographs, images, artwork, prints and products online. PhotoStore was created specifically for photographers to easily sell their photos online. With its advanced features it can also be used to run stock photo type sites.
