People like photos of Flowers with Mountains in the background

It looks like that people do like images of  flowers with mountains in the background. And they even do like more if the mountains are famous ones. I got several reactions from people on different continents that they love my pictures of mountains with flowers.

How to clean a SLR camera lense

On YouTube I found a video on how to professionally clean a SLR camera lense. I did not try it, yet. So if you want to give it a try do it on your own risk.

I solved the problem by adding an UV filter in front of the objective lens. So if something gets dirty it is the filter and not the lense. In case you can remove the filter and wash it with warm water and liquid soap or washing up.

Any comments on that?

Added photos of Foz do Iguaçu to Gallery

I added some photos from Foz do Iguaçu the biggest waterfall on earth to the photo gallery from the year 2006. The waterfall called Cataratas looks very impressive even it was a season of extreme low water. There were TV stations there reporting about the several years record low level. So how fantastic must it be when the river is at normal or even high water level?

Review - Test report Snapfish Photo printing service

I wanted some prints and posters from my photo gallery of Swiss mountains. As I had good experience some month ago with Snapfish I wanted to give it a try. So I uploaded a bunch of photos of the Matterhorn and some other mountain photos. There is an upload setting "high resolution". I did check this to have to maximum quality of the photos.

Smugmug Photo Gallery to Sell your Photos

In the last few weeks I got some e-mails from people who want to buy my photos. I think they have seen my photos on Flickr. At the end they really bought my photos. But it was a lengthy process and cumbersome for both. Why that?

Normally it starts with an e-mail introducing themselves who they are and what they want. That they are interested in buying a photo. So mails go back and forth. At the end it comes to paying and downloading. This customers did send me the money by a international bank account money transfer. But this takes some days and the fees are quite high because it is international. After the money arrived I had to upload the files to Google documents or Dropbox. This service is also quite easy to use.
