Well there are many image banks in India.
Their policy is quite unique and thus let me write about it.
you take all your pics to them in the desired format...( it is 12 megapixels image size these days. have to check.)
they make you a member and add your pics to their collection and when they sell for a one time use to anybody at whatever the price they send you the money ( 50:50 ) asap.
it is a win win situation as these images can earn you money all your life and then to your siblings or nominees too.
one good agency which most of the pros in India favor is Dinodia Agency
Picture Agency of India, Professional Photography in India, Mumbai Stock Photo Images. have a look get to know.

AWESOMENESS!!!
where do you get those pebbles ?

PS: tried repping you but have to spread some!!

[ManISinJpr ♦]

Stuge excellent shots there, is the white balance auto? and more ever a simple light tent is also advisable as it will hide your reflections..or even a hand made one which is made of tracing paper..there I have told you a secret.

Stuge how much for photography classes??

[stonedsurd]

The best teacher is yourself.
Take your camera everywhere, and shoot ANYTHING that captures your fancy (and even the stuff that doesn't).

^^ +100 to that suggestion...
@ I might tell you where to get some classes..if they were near to Delhi...LOL my dearest friend takes classes for the Canon company..he is on the elite panel of Canon India.

@stony abe how the hell am i supposed to lug around a fraking DSLR with a macro and a telescopic zoom lens !!
but again ...you are 101% right on the teacher comment....nobody can teach you better than yourself it just takes a little effort and time!

Allow me to rephrase - take your PnS (assuming you have one) with you everywhere. A decent PnS makes for some striking shots once you *properly* familiarize yourself with it.
As for the DSLR - if you aren't going to use it, why bother?

[ManISinJpr ♦]

You have to lug around a dslr if yo want to take life shots..on the streets or anywhere. for that you will need a good and solid camera bag...like kata.
or a simple but strong Photographic jacket will be nice too...it can hold all the equipment in itself..
You are most welcome but unfortunately I dont stay in Delhi..
