I only have a few pictures
with them at the moment, and some with iStockPhoto.com,
but some photographers who have loads get a nice cheque
each month. The great thing is that you can sell the
same photo over and over again. In the few months
I have been doing this some of my photos have been
downloaded 12 or 15 times. For more information on
selling your photography check out selling
your photographs.
Although this shot may look simple it's not quite
as straightforward as it looks. A straight shot exposing
for the sunset would leave the wine and the glasses
looking very dark. So a second shot was necessary
at the correct exposure for the wine.
The two shots were then sandwiched together in Photoshop
and a layer mask was used to mask around the glasses
so we get the wine from one shot and the background
from the other. You need a good steady tripod to ensure
that both shots have exactly the same viewpoint and
framing. For a complete explanation of how this all
works see my tutorial on
tripods. |
