You could try selling them locally. Try selling them to magazines or there are sites you can try to sell them online.

In this century there are thousands of photographs which are trying to earn some cash from their job, but i think you must be better than they.
There are a lot of paid galleries on the net where you can upload your photos and after earn money from visiting them. Its easy just you must be good at taking photos.

Well that's one good hobby then. I like taking pictures sometimes, just sometimes though.
You can try uploading it here in myLot and include it to some of your discussions that relates to it.
You could also try shareapic.com, they pay you for uploading pictures and get them viewed by others.
The money is not so big in making money out of pictures though but at least it's in your interests and you're getting paid for it right..?

You can submit photos to istockphoto.com. They have very specific guidelines and standards for the material that they accept. Very specific about what they want, etc. But if you are any good, you can make some money there. You can also upload photos to shutterstock.com. They are not as strict there, but they do review your work. Good luck!

Hello!
Wow - that is a great hobby! You should always do what you love! Ok here are some suggestions.
As you are getting started, you could use online forums such as Craigslist to post pictures of photos you've taken and try selling them pretty affordably. Or you could even start a free website and post pictures on there and then try to generate traffic to your site by telling friends, family, and using public forums. Try to get some feedback on your photos.
If you had some really great photos & received good feedback, you could even try to find places that sold frames pretty inexpensively & frame & mat the picture to sell it for more - this way it was more of a finished art piece than just a photo.
Hmm... have you ever thought about photographing people? Start your own unique photography company?
My site has great ideas for ways for people to start their own business doing the things they love!

You can try Triond.com. Basically you upload your pictures there and they will pay you by view. The payout is really low (0.5USD) and it's easy to reach when you have a good collection. So far, I have put my photos up there to earn a few bucks too!
