Yes
Just made my first sale ever :)

Someone bought a canvas print from my Red Bubble gallery. Only made £25 on a £75 purchase (rest goes to the site), but it still feels good.

Shot in question:

Lovely picture. Is the blur from shutter-speed or post-processing?
 
Congrats...
Doesn't matter, £25 is £25 you didn't have yesterday.
I think it helps if you name a shot, the peeps that bought it may have been swayed by the fact the know the place its from, or they might have wanted it for what it is, I dunno, but it cant hurt.
I have bloomin paintings I dont even like, simply because they are of places in Cornwall I know:thinking:
 
Nice one :) I've had a friend ask for a print of one of my photos, and TBH I'll probably just ask her for what it costs me, I'm just happy that someone wants one of my photos on their wall :)

Nice shot. You should be proud.

Only £25 quid?? You would not leave it on the floor would you?
 
Stunning shot - well done you should be really proud. I was chuffed when my mother in law asked for one of my prints - for someone to pay for it - nice work!

Nice one! Can I ask where you were selling it? I've just got into photography and have a shot I would like to try and sell. I could create my own site but getting traffic would be a nightmare.

Google "red bubble" :)
 
I have some of my better shots uploaded to a site called Red Bubble. Basically they have a flat charge for each type of card/print/canvas, and you then specify how much of a markup you want for each shot. I just have all my shots on 50% markup (this was a £50 canvas + 50% markup = £25 for me).

It's probably not the best way of selling, but until I get around to setting myself up with a site it's a sale I wouldn't otherwise have had.
 
Lovely shot Tom, really good processing;)

Just trying to work out where it was taken:thinking:

Bedruthen?
 
Great shot and I can see why it's makes a great wall hanger :thumbs:
 
Congratulations Mate.:clap:
 
Ah, Holywell Bay - a good spot for Bass:D
