If you’re looking for new ways and places to sell your prints, you might actually want to go to an old place, one  you may have forgotten. Yup, I’m talking about Flickr, which could soon allow photographers to sell their prints directly to their customers.

That’s right, Flickr has launched a printing service that’s different that the one we’ve already seen (and tested). From now on, users will be able to order prints not only of their own photos, but also buy them from other photographers on the platform. There are a few catches for now, so let’s see how it works and what the potential obstacles are.

Apple users – Stop using AirPrint to print your photos

This is something that’s never even occurred to me, but then, not being a Mac user, it wouldn’t. For those that don’t know, Mac users have this thing called AirPrint. It’s basically a service that allows you to send stuff straight to your printer over WiFi without even having to download and install a driver. It just works. I’ve used it in the past during my iPhone days to print PDFs with a regular mono laser printer and it’s a fantastic feature.

But, you don’t want to use it if you’re printing photos, as Glyn Dewis explains and demonstrates in this video. You see, as photographers, we spend far too much time calibrating all of our devices to ensure that our cameras, monitors and printers all see and produce the same colours. And all of this goes to waste the instant you send a print to an AirPrint printer.

We can argue forever whether photo gear matters or not; or what makes a photo a keeper. But today, I want to tell you about a “crappy” photo taken with an even crappier camera. I want to tell you about my favorite image which looks pretty awful, and why sometimes that doesn’t matter at all.

There’s no doubt that smartphone cameras are getting better and better. But still, we often hear that large prints of smartphone photos can’t look nearly as good as those taken with a DLSR or mirrorless. In his latest video, Nigel Danson decided to test this and made 30 x 24” prints of his smartphone photos. And despite some people’s claims – they actually look pretty impressive.
