For those wonderful questions we all get (what's your process,where is this at, is this Photoshop, is this a painting, yadda, yadda) I have taken to bringing out my one gallon pickle jar "Tips" in awkward print across the front. Helps to salt it with a few greenback (like the piano guy at the lounge). Gets a smile, a bit of silver but does break the ice.

Or you could have a "menu" approach on a sign:
-Before asking Location of a particular photograph, please note our Pricing:
Vague directions - $50 (It's in SW Arizona.)
Specific turn-by-turn directions - $150 (Hwy 93 S from Kingman, go 24 miles,
go E on crooked road, 5 more miles)
GPS Coordinates to the spot you were standing - $300 (priceless!)
Maria, just kidding of course

On a side note, the most annoying conversations I've experienced have
been from (non-)buyers who come up, gush over this or that photo, and
want to know in detail where the location is, obviously only wanting to
know so they can go up and take their own photos there. It got to the
point that I was considering putting up a new item on my price list:
"Location Advice -- if you only want directions so you can take pictures
there yourself: pay me $300 and I'll tell you where you can go."
