Tom following yours comments Judith's and JK I am now raising my price per pix to £250 each and some of the best I will put up to £350 each. Nothing to lose so lets see what develops! I have also posted Tom's comments on the members only blog on Artfinder where these matters are talked about and there are quite a few that are not happy.

Price is now up and the two that are on sale for two more day I have marked "when sale finishes they will be restored to the new higher price" Following the members pricing blog on Artfinder several artists say photographers should charge much lower prices as painters take days to paint a picture and we photographers can take many in a day and print as many copies as we like. One also said that photography is so easy now that anybody can take a picture with a modern camera so photos have no serious worth or value! (I note and do agree with Eric remarks about my artist friend.) I said in the blog that I was not selling as some of my photographer friends (ie our friends here) said I was far to low so am raising the prices at once. I have now done so so lets see what happens.Like many long standing photographers I think my pictures do have some worth as I have been doing it full time all my working life since 1960, I must have picked up a trick or two while most of the time made a good living at it!

I've spent longer on photoshop with some images. The originals he sells for £1000+ after he has made limited prints of 50...to sell at a 'few hundred' . I also know a photographer (actually he's not a serious one or that proficient a photographer) who took photos of all the derelict USA WW2 airbases in East Anglia. He did some average quality black and white prints of them and they sold like hot cakes in the USA. I have long felt it's all down to finding the niche for your work...then advertising it to that specific audience. Plonking photos together with other art forms is a dilution of that effort. IMHO.

With prices raised I have on Friday cynically put three of my studio "fine Art" studio nudes on Artfinder. Weekend hits through the roof but still no sales. Also started a blog on people having to log in just to look quite a few other members agree.

Graham- It's really kind of a crapshoot in the final analysis ... So you might as well get more for them  Actually, I think once you sell a few, more sales will come. Does this site have any form of special promotion for some images? Or other ways to get yours looked at more than others? The other thing that comes to mind is that in many sites, the "new" postings get some extra attention. The photogs who are constantly uploading get more attention than others...worth a shot? Good luck, Tom

Tom thanks for that all good info. I try when I think about it to put a new pix up adding to the collection and this does call in a few looks for a day or so but still no sales! I put two up for 10 day with 40% discount, still no takers. I also think other photographers on the site sell very little. Costs nothing to have them there and will keep good high price as is! Far more interesting have just got my Nikon 500mm F4 AF-S all new lens for my bird photography all 3.8 Kgs of lens hope to have some pix to put up soon! First test look super and so they should for a nearly £6000 spend!

Well done Graham. Look forward to seeing some results. Start a new thread for the 500 f4 discussion.

Will do but let me get some good pix first all I have is houses out of my window proves it works and pin sharp also focus very very quick with the D810 so perhaps may not need to get a D5!
