Yes, for me it is a business and I did not mean to suggest that my $4 cost I sell for $85 is what you should do. Just meant that a 3x markup has nothing to do with reality.


I completely understand and was not offended. Having once owned a small business, I'm very much aware of the "art" of pricing.

For future consideration, if 3X cost is not reality, what would you suggest given this is a hobby?

Curious, is this your prime source of income? If it is and you do assignments, I understand your pricing. Selling photos isn't a main source of income for me.

But, thanks for you thoughts.

I don't know if this applies to photographs, but I was told the rule for pricing handicrafts was to charge three times the cost of the materials.


This is close to what I was thinking.

Thanks

I've been asked to buy one of my pictures that I took with my smart phone the other day while I was entering my office bldg. As I don't carry my D5300 every day to work, this is all that I had. It actually came out rather decent.

Back to my original question - I do my own printing on a Canon Pro 100 using, in this case, Canon Pro Luster 13x19 paper. I figured my cost of paper, ink & matting (I used the cost for a pre-cut 16x20 white mat @ Michael's but I'll do my own cutting) to be $11.09. I'm thinking of selling it for $25.00.

No added labor in my costs as it took me all of 5 minutes to compose and expose, no post-processing (SOOC) and maybe 20 minutes to cut the mat and mount the picture. If I were to charge labor, what rate is acceptable for an advanced amateur? $25.00/hr? More, less or good as is?

Think $25.00 is a fair price for a co-worker?

Thanks

Saw an ad for this processing program.

Anyone have any experience and/or comments?

Wife staying home. Going with daughter & grandson during spring break.

Yes the DSLR does take great pix and I use it often, but looking for covenience less bulk. Will be doing lots of walking.

After all the feedback, I'll take the S9900.

Again thanks to all.

Seems like many members are asking which equipment to take on their trips. Many great answers were given.

Now it's my turn.

Will be going to DC towards the end of April. Will be flying and to get around the city, will be taking the subway, or whatever it's called, and Uber/Lyft.

I have 2 choices - my Nikon D5300 w/Sigma 17-70mm Contemporary or my wife's Nikon Coolpix S9900. I'm leaning towards the S9900 only because of it's size. It's a great piece of equipment.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Jay

Jay go back to my original suggestion...you will find that does exactly as you have suggested above. Use the painter feature to 'reject' those you don't want and then delete the rejected images from the HD...using LR to delete


I'll give it a try over the weekend and see if that does what I want.

Thanks for suggestion.

Names/dates for main folder and numbers for sub photos. Not pretty, but it works for me.

Will keep same structure when importing to backup drive.
