MicrostockGroup

Having years ago used photobank in UK for my transparencies, I embarked on microstock a couple of years back, as I have family, farm and part time work, I am only a sporadic uploader of stock - have heaps of ideas and no time.

But microstock has really taught me to up my game in technique and to present clean images.  to the point - I have had some down time lately and went looking at some of the newer images on the sites I sell through and WOW the quality out there is so amazing (obviously I need to up my game more!)  and so inspiring - so other microstockers out there I am in awe of your talent!

True  we are paid so little, but I dont know how that can be changed - for me it is a numbers game, and I have to admit I only have one image that has proved its worth and it has been hijacked as well

I don't really like the microstock style they're forcing on us, nevertheless all these strict requirements certainly improved my skills from a technical point of view - which is useful for "real" photography as well.
