[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 214482, member: 4399"] As I mentioned in the train photography thread, I have a booth at the NYS fairgrounds this weekend for the annual train show. We had allot of fun today and I think we did pretty good for a hobbyist. Today the show ran from 10-5 and I had gross sales of about $375.00 and a net profit after all costs of about $250.00. The wife and I had allot of fun meeting people and talking photography. People are really fascinated by HDR, wish I had a dime for every time I explained it :). It is a great feeling to have others like your work and [B]buy[/B] it. Compared to shooting portraits and weddings, the sales dollars are small, but I find it "fun" to sell shots you created for pleasure and without stress. The tough part is you do not have a captive customer that has to pay you for a shoot. You are relying on pure impulse and someone wanting your picture on their wall without themselves or a loved one as the subject. I'll post an iphone shot of my booth and follow-up with some more experiences/learnings. [/QUOTE]
