Software / Is picniche still developed?
« on: July 10, 2022, 13:47 »
Hi folks,

all is in the title :)

I dont find any browser plugin and the website is down.
There is any alternative? It is possible to find the source code?

Thanks!

First we need to stop agencies giving our work away free and unwatermarked via holes in their api tech.

Exact!
In my opinion the biggest problem is not people stealing our works; the biggest problem are agencies letting people stealing our works because of a lack of security on their sites (code).

one solution can be to upload a self watermarked file with the original and not just add a filter on the original.

I am not sure if it is lack of customers or over supply of contributors, or both.

is photography in general still a niche?  :-X

Chichikov thanks for these links.

I dont know if its used on internal search, but i clearly have more view with a proper title than a only one word title.

Hi everyone,

i ve just see something important than i ve underestimate before: the title. I was thinking that only key-wording was important.
Shame on me!
Look at this image from my portfolio analytics (on attached file)

Now I am going to polish up my titles correctly :D

Hi, i am still confuse about my choice :D.

The D850 was announced but now i m "attracted" by the D500 for the image unprocessed looking but i m done with the APCS format so ...
For the lenses i ve choice a 105mm nikkor or 90mm tamron macro because i like close up and macrophotographie (ofc), especially for inssect and food, and work for portrait too.

For now my D70s is near to death, ive noise @ ISO 200 and the shutter is unsync :/ .......... with 120000+ shutter count :D, and i  m waiting for  a few money to buy this new gear.

thanks for the replies!

Photo Critique / Re: ShutterStock critique! Finding a niche.

Brasilnut, i like your point of view. And iknow what you mean by photograph only 1 subject or 2 is sometimes prettry boring. Working with series is a nice balance with focus on subject and try new things.

xenupy, your portfolio is ok, same as said above some are over post-process for my test. I prefer your animal photo.

It could do with some more diverse subjects.
Same, photo have a really good exposure and cropped, but too much same subject for my taste i mean same message/angle.

Newbie Discussion / Extended licence
« on: July 27, 2017, 10:55 »
Hello,

i see on many microstockagencie  that we  can sell  photo with extended licence. For example on dreamstime, we can set our own price, and on other like fotolia we cant, its a fixed price (100 credit at this moment).

So my question is  must we set an extended licence when if possible or just disable it? I ve see a lot of contributor disable it.
And if you accept EL how to set a price?

Thanks

Ok, i ve look many many photo on flickr and wow the combo D810 sigma art 35/50/85mm 1.4 is speechless. And I am not really fan with the render of the Pentax K1.
I continue looking and hope the D850 will be release soon.

I like buying a cheap body because I don't think it matters much.  The money I save goes on lenses.  I do like having different sensor sizes, from full frame to my phone.  They all have their uses.  I have spent more on camera bodies in the past but it seemed like wasted money.

I m ok with you. I dont want the last more expensive camera/lens, i especially want the best match for me, i mean in first image looking (characteristic, distinctive) its important, and "easy" to use. Seriously i dont care about confort option and video 4k, just the flip screen is a nice gadget in some condition.
I cant do any more with this d70s  ;D

I would probably get the D750 second hand, which can be had for around 1,100 euros on ebay. Been using the D610 for around two years. It's a great camera, great enough AF unless doing fast action, but my biggest gripe with it is the grip. It's a bit too narrow and short, and using it for the entire day with something like a 80-200 or 105 vr will make your fingers really sore. The D750 has a better grip as well as a tilting screen and the ability to change the aperture in live view, something Nikon STILL does not have in lower end bodies like the D610.

Thanks for this feedback, i ve big hand so its a usefull info for me ;)

and nice portfolio too!

Are your lenses FX or DX?  You'll need to change out your DX lenses for FX if you want to take full advantage of the new body.

fred

i ve the:
AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5g ED, not my prefered lens but work well @ f8- f11
AF-S 50mm F1.8 D, great lens but i dont like the crop factor :/ on a DX (75mm),
AF 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 not bad for street and outdoor
50mm f/1.8 Serie E, manual mode only, my prefered one for photo result
and a very poor Sigma 75-300mm f/4-5.6 DL Zoom, but i ve a lot of fun with this focal lenght on DX format.

my wichlist:

35mm f/1.8
105 or 135mm macro f/2.8
maybe the nikkor 85mm 1.8  the quality is really nice, but i dont like too much this focal lenght on DX
150-600mm tamron for wildlife photography.

but first in first it would be the 35mm and the macro lens.

Thanks for these suggest!

@UberImage, your portfolio is insane :O. I am not really fan with artificial lens flare effect but wow, quality of photo is here!

@jonbull
hum its sound goog for me! i am interested by the sony alpha9 too (but nor my budget) i really like how the photo look (tone, grain etc).
I take a look with this pentax K1.

@Mantis
Yeah i ve ear this rumor too, with the D5x and D850 wait and see... In the D8xx i like the low light and the low iso too thats a great point for me.

Hello everyone,

i am a nikon user with an old d70s. The shutter is near to the end and i am looking for a new camera. My budget is arround 1300 and i ve some idea of camera.
1st i want a full frame, i dont like the crop factor convertion especially for doing quick some math wih for ex focal lenght/ shutter speed etc.
2nd i like to shoot in natural light, so i want a low light camera.
3rd i want to stay with nikon because i ve a few lens for.
anf ofc a good manage of noise.

i ve spotted the  nikon D3s, D8xx, D6xx and the D7xx.

my first fav could be the D3s, what do you recommend and please can you explain for please :)

Greg
