Before I start on a rant, I'll just explain my case, I'm a amateur photographer, I am still learning the art of taking great pictures and mostly i take pictures of drift cars in full fight

an example pic of mine

Image

Or my full website is http://www.ammophotography.co.uk

Now I do not charge for my pics, as they appear on my website, if people want HI-res ones, all I ask is beer tokens if they feel like it

So I see these pics on Facebook, £10 for a print, £5 for them on CD

Am I a mug or do people really pay for that crap?

seriously mate i did that track day at cadwell and my mate paid £35 for a cd of mostly of out focus pictures! he's a knob so i laughed, but still!

photography is a bit flooded atm as with the advent of fairly cheap equipment most people can take an ok photo and as it digital its a case of delete the not so good ones rather than develop them etc which costs money.

i know the picture u take are good but some people take crap ones and think the same :roll:

Your picture looks great mate, I've always been in awe of those with photography skills as mine are pretty limp :lol:

Sucks to see other people profiteering of off crap, but at least you can take pride in your work and I don't really think you can put a price on that :)

It's nice he's included parts of the fence, maybe that's why he cuts bits of the car out the frame, to compensate :lol:

Looks like a capture from a speed camera :lol:

Maybe you should message all his friends on his FB and show them what a real photograph looks like ;-) And then point out your pricing too ;-)
