Thx for the offer! I could really use some nature pictures to make my book site more colorful: http://minireference.com/

I've been looking for mountains (e.g. two mountain peaks that represent math and physics) that could be used. The book is your guide to the mountains of math and physics.

Alternately, just some nice picture of fall colors. Спосиба.

How about: A night-time city scape. Usually a lot of photos of cities are done across from a body of water, and at day. I haven't been able to find good quality ones done during the night.

something like this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/10urfqlu8lv63yr/IMG_6925.jpg?dl=0

Don't offer your work for free. It devalues you and all other photographers. There's no "practice" you get from doing work for free for someone else that you couldn't get by doing work for yourself, and then offering up for sale. http://shouldiworkforfree.com/

Not this. Like the OP wrote, photography is a hobby. Charging for anything requires extra work. If the OP is an employee doing another sort of work, the extra work involved in charging could be enough to complete overwhelm any benefit from charging, unless the OP somehow won the lottery and made huge bucks (unlikely in the extreme). Even if the OP is already working as an independent business owner, using their exist…

Agreed, I have full time job, side projects. And photography is more like a hobby. I got more positive from this topic on HN, than I could ever get from selling these photos.

Anything with an (preferably) outdoor pool with sunlight with swimmers in it, or better yet a water polo match of some sort. EDIT: Removed the 'synchronized' bit. Can be indoors if necessary, given the current time of year and climate.

so, some sport in the pool? or any activity?

Any sport would be fine. Specifically this is for a water polo and swim team booster site.

EDIT: Added my email in my about. Thanks again!

I'd like a picture that evokes "party" or "meaningful place", and it would be nice if I could constrain it to a portrait view (like the iPhone held vertically) Thanks! Edit: Feel free to email me about it.

Just in case you didn't know, your email is not in your bio. The "email" field is not public, so if you want your email to be displayed you have to put it in the "about" field.

I'm working on a modern divorce site that helps couples work together with professionals to quickly and safely reach an equitable resolution for this incredibly difficult event. There are lots of creative symbols in marriage and divorce that could make for an interesting photography project.

hi, need to think, I have some experience in this topic, but don't honestly don't have any ideas of photo that can work for you website. Feel free o propose something.
