Hello from South London

Hi Folks

I've stummbled across this site because I was looking for info on a location I'm going to shoot a wedding at. I've been having a look around. I like what I see so I thought I'd sign up and see how it goes.

I'm a 54 yr old grandmother, gardener and keen photog.

I'll upload some photos soon.

Looking forward to being a active member of the site.

 regards Dawn

Hi Dawn and a very warm welcome to POE.  I will look forward to seeing your photos and I hope you will join in on the forums.  As the guys have said - this is a lovely friendly, caring site and probably the best on the internet.

Did you brave the London streets for the wedding or watch it on TV?

awww thanks folks for a quick and speedy welcome. I actually watched the wedding at Leeds Castle with my daughter and 2 granddaughters, thought it would be a safer and less stressful place, which it was and I got a couple of beautiful portraits of them dressed as princessess in front of the castle.

I'm still reading the rules and so far I've gathered that I have to upload my pics to the main POE site before I can upload them for sale and that they have to be smaller than 4.99MB, so before I upload I may have to resize a few but I will as I have loads Id like to see here for sale.

Do many sell? Whats the daily traffic like here for buyers?

Do many of the sellers come into the forums or is it mostly chit chat and advice?

Dawn I would say the vast majority of members put their pictures on POE  without intending to sell them at all and many of these members are the ones chatting on the forums. 

Or like me we just love seeing the pics of England and chatting to other Anglophiles and Brits because we are too far away.

However, if you want to sell your pictures you can add them to the sister site which is fairly new and has been specially designed to sell images. 

Ron, Chris or Sarah would be able to help out with how much "traffic" there is on the sister site, I'm sure. 

Thanks Cathyml, I did notice that you, who seem to be a major contributor to the site lives in SA, I hope that you will enjoy some of the pics I upload.

I'll read the rules properly again soon and see how it all works.
