VIR North Course Registration is open

Hu? So you are a professional photographer now? Like I said above, if it works for you, great. However, I'd expect a true professional to have their own site. I just enabled the PhotoWorks plugin in my gallery2, added a few pictures to the shopping cart, then checked out with photoworks, just to test quality, easy, painless and all I paid for was the website I already have and the prints I decided I wanted to print.

If by professional you mean it's my day job, no.
If by professional you mean I get paid to take pictures, yes.

"True professionals" usually have a rebranded site (i.e. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.moonriverphotography.com">http://www.moonriverphotography.com</a><!-- m --> [note the powered by smugmug]) for purchases and/or pay someone else to main a portfolio site.

$150/yr for smugmug, holy shit.

That's two hours worth of work. How much do you pay for hosting?


If anyone wants to rip this out to another topic, please feel free.

I pay $20

How much do you pay for hosting?

$0. In fact so far this year I'm up $1,500.

[Apoc]

Well that's obviously not the case with everyone who wants to host/sell photos... and that's my point.

::group hug::

What I think is a crime are people who pay $25 for Flickr's retarded Pro account when there's no real configuration or rebranding.

yeah but there is the 200 picture limit on free accounts

I was going to ask you if you had to pick between smugmug and flickr which you would choose.

[Apoc]

There is? Shows you how much I use Flickr. I just use it to showcase new photos to the general public I guess rotating in the most recent 200 isn't as bad.

I'm partial to Smugmug myself and think if you've made the commitment to pay then the extra $ for it is worth it over Flickr's pro. Flickr is more social networking and ease of use than anything and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone "in the biz" using it as their sole outlet. I'm not sure if you can set custom prices with Flickr but I really like that about Smugmug.

What really annoys me about the photo sharing sites (Shutterfly and Photoworks) is you have to share photos for people to see them. My sister has shared countless pics with me and I've never seen them because I didn't get the email. Not only that but I'm forced to create an account to view photos? Screw that... that's why it's free. I can't tell you how many times people have tried to share photos with me and I just delete it because I have to register.

Looks like your pics made it around the int3rweb to the Cup forums.

Did you know Jesus Christ was a Jew?

yeah I hate that with a passion. I had all my stuff on winkflash (they still let people download the full res version) until I realized that people have to register to view. wtf is that.

When the fuck did we get Icecream?

[Evan]

dont hate on the brotha for being frugal. How the hell else was he supposed to survive after he gave all his shit away?

[PDenbigh]

Lol...

[D_Eclipse9916]

back on topic....euroimage pics are up...








And of course the end of my front lip....

[Nis01]

Evan got front page picture for the event section.

Subie trying to play in the sand.

Chasing shots.


He did a panning shot, said he got tired of doing them after a while.

Open track in HPDE 1? Must be a chop. :wink:


The point by picture is awesome DJ.

[ScottyB]

nice pics guys, and yeah DJ's pointby is pretty cool. LS1 what?

[Apoc]

Video...

As you can see, I'm driving way too safe to ever win anything. :?

[PDenbigh]

The orange 944 at the beginning is cheating with his smoke screen he's putting up for you....

Your car has some power! It's cool how you run everyone down on the straights.

Woah, yeah, just saw the one at the end. Geez...

[Apoc]

Just wait 'til later... there's a worser one.

[Goodspeed]

Nice pics, looks like a great time. I like that point by pic as well, also it looks like a silver Noble is behind you in the pic below that, looks pretty cool! Did you get the full effects of the on-track crack pipe Shea? Its good that you got the Subie out to stretch its legs a little, but all that excercise means it has probably worked up quite an appetite....

[BLINGMW]

I am *this* close to ordering pics.... since Evan didn't hook me up at ALL. But can't quite swallow the $55. Maybe if it were like $40. Oh well, half of mine are from the mild rain session and slow speeds, so whatever.

[Evan]

oops, i thought i got some of you. there are just too many damn e30s out there.
