Printful

So i am looking at the print and demand market places and i have found the previous two i previously mentioned fineartameria and redbubble.

But i have now tried another, by the way this is not been costing me any money to do anything or publish the products to the websites, until..

Any way to begin i tried a couple of other website and did work correctly in the UK, but this website has been able to connect me to some good well known website, ebay still hasnt worked but not a problem.

I have two other websites that i am currenlty connected to Esty and Wish, "right" Wow did i hear someone say?? no.

no didnt think so but i have connected and been able to submit 8 products one thing i can say is that wish takes a couple of days to get varified and you need to put in some form of ID, Also Esty yes you will get every product on the website for 3 months for 20 cents/ 16p, which is not bad and if i get one sale then bonus. We will see in the next few months if i will.

Photography Blogging

How often is too much,

How many time a month should I make a diary of what i have been up too. 

Well i would assume i would have to have done something , but having to make a blog would mean i need to do something, bit of  chicken and egg.

Ok since the last time i have been able to take some photos using the lens ball i will upload them next time, really fun. BUT be careful in the sun as you can burn yourself as you would expect big ball of glass and a magnified point of the sun, i didnt burn my self but just a small hot spot on my hand. 

I have been updating the redbubble (RB) redbubble, fineartamerica (FAA) fineartamerica accounts.

I have found another site that i may move towards which is https://www.printful.com/ these are similar to the print on demand sites i have previously mentioned doesnt have all the items i have on other sites that i can see yet but only been on the site for three days.

Having trouble with attaching to ebay accoutn at the moment but that may be because i am in the UK and have a .co.uk ebay account - we shall see.

Alternativly i have opened a wish account so you never know both larger websites to the RB (check above what that means), just waiting to be approved as it take 3 business days.

On another positive note i have been updating the galleries n the old website www.1978photography.co.uk

take a look most of the images are on the purchaseable sites to head over and take a look.

Happy Fathers Day

So today is fathers day, happy day to you if you are lucky enough to be a dad.

I am too and have recieved 

a Lensball                                                     and a simple profile T-stand   

So an ideas of what i can photo, give some idea, I will prceed to do some colour shots bokeh style as i have the lights for it.

Other thing i have tried with my lens that i took apart as it was broken but i will be doing plenty of landscape shots with this in the foreground. So ideas i have found and i think is a good start https://gridfiti.com/lensball-photography/, personally i like the water reflection idea.

Profile stand well thats a new one for me as i dont like photographing people, as you can probably see i all of my images are products, landscapes, nature and animals. So catalogue images are what i will be trying as i develop my print on demand images.

Purchases

Ok through this furlough scheme and period.

I have been looking and developing my phohotgraphy again, while also changing and updating my website.

This meant learning, from reading websites and choosing what worked the best for me.

I have read through many websites... telling me of how to make this better do this differently, yes they are all ok but i have done what i think works for now, (I am sure i will keep changing).

So i eventually got to print on demand sites, great idea but i does mean that the items choosen are a bit more expensive.

But i means that you dont have to print out and hold onto stock in a warehouse, garage at home or piled up in one of the rooms in your house too.

So i have found two that seem to work, by what i mean as simple to set up and you get to see the results quickly, that may mean a limitation in items but its done and it makes me feel like i have achieved something.

take a look.

redbubble the first i have found, works really well you can select the prices you would like to make on each product, that means like a shirt cost of the company is $14 and then you add on top the price of your image, picture, drawing or logo. bascially what ever you want on products.

Second.

fineartamerica is another website i found that does pretty similar job both good a simple to set up. Again they have the value of the basic products and then you add on what you would like to make from a sale. This one is more for the photographers though as you can enter contests and get noticed, seem a bit more socially active which i am not sure about as being on there one afternoon and i have already had some strange email sent to me from a spammer, but i will see where it goes, no news is good.

Blogging thought i would give it a try.

1 Something simple to start off the photography blog.

Being an amateur photographer, trying to learn mainly for myself but i wouldnt say no to earning some money from me work/images.

I like being behind th camera but i am not good at asking model or people to pose in this way or that way.

Just feels odd. I work in an office for my full time job and i dont really interact with people very well there either.

So i take photos of landscapes, nature, the environment. Things that people see every day and walk past not really noticing them.
