Are you a budding David Bailey or Annie Leibovitz?

Digital cameras and easy photo editing software has meant that even the unskilful photographers amongst us can produce at least a half decent picture.

But if you are a little bit more skilful and can produce a great looking photograph. Did you know that you can earn money with it?

There are a number of different online photo stock agencies and libraries that will pay you for your pictures.  If you do a search on google you’ll find information and conversations on forums about peoples favourites.  2 of the most popular ones are

http://www.istockphoto.com/ and http://sumbmit.shutterstock.com/

You’ll find all the details on those sites about how to submit your pictures and how you get paid. (By the way you don’t have to pay to submit your photos)

So why not get your camera out, get the right hand side of your brain working and earn some money at the same time !  I might even give it a go myself, I’ll let you know how I get on
