Bob Simpson replied to Jessica Sullivan's discussion Canon 24mm F2.8 or 17-40mm F4 Which Do You Prefer & Why?"Hi Jessica

Selling at markets
I have a question for anyone who has had a go at selling landscape photographs at local markets.....is it worth it?
I've had a stall at a pretty busy weekly market for 5 or 6 weeks now (some pictures here) - as well as offering a range of different mounting/framing options for my photos, I've done up some postcards, greeting cards and posters concentrating on the local area. Every…

- no thank you! If you enjoy the experience see if you can talk anyone else into joining. When we have a few more members we will have some competitions and see if we can get a bit more of a community vibe. I would also like to find out what members would like out of the site after all it's not all about me( for a change)!!
