Recently, I was obsessed with taking pictures especially with nature, I think I am enjoying the hobby of photography, I am just wondering if any of you guys have known a legit site that we can sell our photos?

If you're interested in selling prints of your photos online, I would recommend deviantART.com, RedBubble.com, Zazzle.com and CafePress.com. I know CafePress has a separate website specifically for selling artwork prints, it is Imagekind.com. I actually haven't used it yet, so I don't know how it compares to CafePress. But I have had a lot of success selling my photographs on CafePress.
If you're interested in selling stock photography, I have lots of information and links on my blog http://funonlinemoney.blogspot.com/2008/12/sell-your-photos.html
There is also a website where you can enter your photographs in art competitions. You earn money when other users vote for your photographs! You can also earn by voting for, rating, and commenting on art that you like. You can learn more about that website here http://funonlinemoney.blogspot.com/2008/12/enter-art-competitions-for-cash.html
Good luck with your photos!

I've had some luck selling stuff on CafePress, but mostly it's my artwork for the guinea pig rescue and photos only in calendars.
How do you get more views of your photos on there? I have some of the framed prints and stuff up and I've never even sold one yet.

I guess it all comes down to keywording since that's really how stuff is found in searches. I don't really market my stuff on CafePress at all. I guess the people that are buying my art just find it by searching the site.

I sell my photos on BigStockPhoto. If you would like my referral link, please send me a message privately as we aren't supposed to post referral links on the board anymore.
I've made about $200 there over the past few years. You can make more if you put up more photos, I have about 350 photos up. It's just kind of some nice change trickling in for something I already do. I like easy money like that where you just sit back and it comes in.

I sell my images on Fotolia. have been on there for some time now. My link is in my portfolio. I have sold quite a few images although I still have a fairly small portfolio. I have also heard of Istock and Bigstockphoto. Not sure about these. I also have photos on Triond. There are several places you can post for your photos. Do a search for stock photography and you will find some. Don't ever pay a fee though to post your images. There are plenty of free websites so you shouldn't have to pay.. Hope this helps some. Good luck!!!

Photography is also one of my passions. I love taking photos and my favorite subjects are nature and my twin grandchildren. I also do have files of photos with me. But sorry my friend as I do not know of any sites where we can sell photos. I hope someone here could help you! Have a nice day!

can you recommend any sites where i can enter my photos for competitions?

A good site for competitions is ViewBug.com. They have 2-3 themed competitions a month. Plus if you just regularly upload images to the website, they pick a handful of winners every single week and award them cash prizes. You can read more about their competitions and stuff in this article: http://www.webupon.com/File-Sharing/A-Photo-Sharing-Website-That-Pays-You.299239
I would also recommend http://skillfights.com/signup?ref=294 What I like about that website is that you get paid for participation. So even if you don't win a competition, you can still earn money! And of course, if you win a competition you make even more money.

I am also an amateur photographer. The company that I use to sell photos is shutterstock. Go to my profile, down at the bottom under sortie (I'm new at myLot). My refer address is there. It's the last of the three. This site is totally free to join and it is legit. Happy selling!!!

Selling photos online is a very profitable online business. I am still at the learning stage but I hope I can start earning more money by selling photos soon. Here is a guide I have written few weeks ago. I hope you can learn something from my blog post: http://www.earnmoneyfromblogv2.com/2012/01/12-websites-to-make-money-online-using.html
