Can you work from home with your Digital Camera? This is a question that I am sure a lot of readers want answers to. In these tough economic times, everyone is looking for ways to supplement their income, or possibly to replace a lost income. In part one, I talked a lot about what could be called "Photography 101". Most of that information has brought us up to about 30 years ago when Sony came out with the first CCD (charged-coupled-device). Even though the images were saved to a "disk", they could only be viewed on a television screen. But in the late1980's, you needed "Nerd 101" or "Geek 102" to be able to patch your camera to you television. I apologize if I offended anyone with that statement, but back in the 1980's...I could not have done it. In 1990, Kodak unveiled the first, fully Digital Camera and made it available to the consumer. But because of the cost, many photographers stayed with their conventional 35MM formatted cameras.

At that point in time, digital imaging used a type of electronic image sensor to store the image as electronic data rather than on "film". The idea of "photo manipulation" that can be done digitally today, could not be done with film. In the early to middle 2000's, most 35MM SLR (single lens reflex) makers announced that they would no longer make SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras.

Okay. So now were are coming into the age of the "Digital Camera". As I stated in Part 1, there are a wide variety of DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras on the market. I do not endorse, nor do I recommend any company or brand. However, I do suggest that if you want to shoot and sell top quality photographs, that you should invest your money in a DSLR (if Digital Photography is your medium...see part 3) that has lens changing capabilities. What do I mean by that? Choose a camera that you can add different lens to. Most companies have DSLR's that have the same style of screw in/screw off lenses like my old Olympus 35MM has. Choose the one that is the most appropriate for what you are trying to accomplish. There are many web sites to check out as well as looking to your local photography store.

So just what is it that you want to accomplish with your photography? I would recommend staying away from the cell phone photography and videos if you want to sell photographs. There may be a market, and you may luck up and get a few marginal shots, but the overall quality just is not there. This is a niche that you can only be used for e-mailing purposes or creating videos to put on those types of sites. Stock Photo Sites and Magazines probably will not give you a chance at selling your photographs.

Now that we have covered some basics, such as boring history like Photography 101, camera's...blah...blah...blah. It's time to look at the meat of this system.. Making money. Earning Income. Working at home or from home. What is your style...what does your eye see...Take photographs of what interests you. If you have a beautiful flower garden. If you are a sports enthusiast. Nature or wildlife. Scenic or Outdoors, that is not what matters. The important thing is that you find your niche...what make you happy or what your eye sees.
