Is it taking a lot of time to upload pictures on alamy.com ? How much pictures are you uploading to sell 10 or 12 a month ? I'm not taking any photo for making money, and most of my pictures would probably have nobody buying them, but if uploading is not taking too much time, maybe that could be something to try. And maybe that would allow me to get some money for buying new camera / lens if I'm lucky :) Nicolas -- http://n0x.org/
