In a previous post I suggested the new 18 megapixel camera would change the value of stock photography and offered a way for a newcomer to get into the stock photography business. I am pleased that I was able to purchase one of the first of these and will be taking it on a trip to photograph Arizona Wildflowers. Today I built 18MegaPixels.com as a blog where I can talk about my experiences with the Rebel T2i and using it to build up my royalty free stock photography business.
I will also building out many of the photography related domains names I have accumulated and advertising them as 18 megapixel stock photography sites. I will publish links to them here as soon as I have a few pictures published on all of them.
The Canon T2i will also make videos. I have never worked with video but the more I think about it the more I see places where video would add to my websites. I like to tie my pictures into the natural history of their locations. With video I can show the panoramic view of an area and then emphasize specific features with still photos. Together it will make a great teaching tool as well as a way to display the photographs I have for sale.
