It's about that time of year where there are a lot of marathon runs going on. How much do you think would be appropriate to charge for wallet size, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14? Keeping in mind that all most photos are finish line photos.

I have shot some marathons the last few years. I wasn't able to sell any. Now I only take running photos of people I know. I advertised on the local running sites and everything. Thousands of looks but no bites on buying.

I found out too, that the ones shooting the events can be rude. I was getting ready for a shot at a glass blowing event and the woman pretty much pushed me out of the way and said " event photographer"!!

She was everywhere. So, this year I went up river and took firework shots over the city bridges. No one around and I'm making money on them.

I've ALMOST dealt w/ some companies who needed shooters, but the deal was that compensation was 100% commission so I gave em a bird.
