Very Nice ! If I were in a store looking at these as post card style images I'd buy them.

You also might try iStockphoto.com. Amateur photographers sell shots for $1-5.

$1-$5? I spend to much time over the years shooting and processing, honing my craft, to just give them away for $5. I guess I don't shoot like that, I'd rather try to get into an art gallery or something and let other folks put out for the cheap images. I suppose if you have enough images up there it would be worth while, but I prefer quality over quantity.

Daniel, I meant to ask this a long time ago... are you shooting B&W or are you processing it afterwards through software or other techniques. I forget if you are shooting digital or film.

If through software, (I.e. photosho), care to share any of your techniques. I've started playing with the Duotones in PS CS2 and I'm learning alot already.

Most of my work is done fully digital, but I do shoot medium format 6x7 black and white negatives for landscapes sometimes. I process both the digital, and the scanned negatives in Photoshop. There are a tone of ways to control black and white images in Photoshop, I can't say I use just one technique, I use alot of techniques. I would suggest becoming familier with these adjustment layers: Curves, Channel mixer, and Selective Color. Those three, combined with layer masks can give you control over any part of your image. You can control contrast, subtle tones and textures, and the ability to blend different contrast levels or tone values together to get just the right fit for your image. There are a ton of ways to work with black and white images, that should get you started :-)

I use soft masks alot, either by painting them in (I use a Wacom, but a mouse can work just fine), or by using gradients in the layer mask.
