I know this is probably asked a lot, but I could really use some help. A guy approached me about taking some pictures at a Lacrosse game. The main focus was on the shirts (for advertising his business) and some of the staff memebers. I shot over 300 pics and weeded them down to around 250. Jesus, how do you eliminate them? LOL. I have never shot any sports events, this is the first time, so I need two things from my friends here:
1)What is a fair price for only a cd of pictures they pick out? Keepin g in mind I;m not a pro, only do this as my hobby. I posted them on the web for their review. I did some minor PP as I shoot all RAW.
2) Please take a look at some of my shots to see if they are worthy of any charge? I'm sorry, but there is over two hundred pics (compressed in a program to about 15MB), but maybe those who have Hi-Speed internet would like to check some out for me.

I sell a CD of 15 portrait shots for $200 and 30 shots for $300. For sports, I charge by the individual photo. Check out my smugmug link below for pricing.

Thanks Liza. One thing for sure, I don't want to get into the printing business. For me, it's sell a CD and be done. I may re-think this if I ever try to make money.
I appreciate your help. I was thinking about a hundred bucks for whichever of these they wanted. May seem a little cheap, but for me I want to keep this fun and not about money. I worry, that once it's about money, it wont be fun for me anymore.
