Okay so in short, I'm part of a horticultural society that has a yearly photo contest. The voting for the contest recently ended a couple of days ago but the winners won't be announced for a while. I want your opinion on the entrants to the contest. I'm not going to tell you which are mine, because I don't want your bias to taint your analysis. I will tell you that 6 of the 34 pictures are mine, so feel free to guess which are mine. I do have a fairly consistent style.

Here's the images: https://www.ahsregion4.org/photos/PhotoContest/2025/2025_R4-Cat_1-Single_and_Multiple_Blooms-no_names.pdf

How do you sell a photo for over a million dollars?

Do you develop and scan your own film or send it off to someone else? AT what point doe it become worth it to develop your own rolls rather than sending it to someone else?

Thread Question: How important is the use of a darkroom to your film photography?

If it's wrong, why is it so good?

Have any of you working/professional anons had any luck becoming a "high end" photographer/videographer? By which I mean, the kind of person who only works with more discerning, high-paying clients?

I run a business that does sound and video recording for classical and jazz musicians (there's some photography in there too) and whilst my skills are pretty good, I've realised that I will never make good money or work make truly great recordings until I get better quality clients.

It's not just about money, but rather the willingness and ability of these clients to work under the conditions needed to make a good product, whilst also respecting my work enough to actually cooperate.

I've realised half of the issue is just price. Doubling prices has helped get rid of the bad clients however the issue with "high-end" clients is that they are usually rich people who do not live in my shitty area and therefore don't know me. I know full well that a facebook ad will not fix this.

I haven't been here in a while so pardon me if this is a faggish question to answer, but last time I was here there was a decent number of current or former professionals.

Is anyone else noticing a big drop in engagement on flickr over the last year or 2?
I know its dropped alot since its peak, but it feels like its significantly dropped again over the last year or so.

Got this Osmo for a decent price, is it good for vlogging?
