Digital Photography?
I want to get into digital photography in a serious way. I've got my SLDR camera + accessories and am studying my exposures and focal lengths. I've heard of amateur photographers getting noticed, even selling their work. How does one get started? Should I start some website and post my photos? What's the best way to get noticed? And how do you really go about selling them?
………..
of course, I meant DSLR camera.
Thanks for the answers sofar. Any budding digital photographers here have a blog site with their photos and details of how they took the picture? If so, also grateful if you could leave your blogsite so I can have a look and see how it's supposed to be done. Many thanks for all your answers thusfar!

Let me start by saying this: it's very hard to sell photographs. That being said, the simplest way to get started is to do a blog. You can post images there and describe what's in the pictures and how you did the shots. Also, PBase is an online photo gallery where you can sign up and start uploading images. There is some incredible stuff there – certainly worth looking at even if you don't sign up. Then, there are online stock agencies. I would suggest Alamy because it's relatively simple to get started. Then, finally, check into a local photo club. Clubs often have competitions in different categories, and these things are a excellent learning opportunity. You can see what others are doing and you can learn from judges comments. Sometimes, you may get to exhibit photos with the club for sale at local municipal buildings, etc. Excellent luck!
