Correct, it has 317 downloads on DT. It also appears to be DT exclusive. I'm puzzled, not that it matters to me at all but still, my curiosity is working overtime...

Ive continued to upload to it, and its a pretty simple interface to submit images. Ive never managed to get videos submitted, but my portfolio is primarily images anyway. I am on 10 stock sites.Thank you so much again for the input. I already made my decision I'm not going to bother with Bigstock. I may give Dreamstime another shot... 5

Thanks again. 6

Just signed up with BS, does it worth the time and effort? What's your thoughts? I know they are at the bottom of the middle tier but some people say that sales are improving. What's your experience?
Thanks in advance. Dimitris 7

You insulted the entire female population of the world by insinuating that good or bad decisions are purely dictated by whether somebody is menstruating or not.Hypocrite There are different ways to ask someone to be more polite. And couple of people didn't choose the right way. The went straight to insult. Just like you did by calling me a dick. As i said I'm not going to carry on because obviously people are offended by the word period, but they can call someone a dick, an idiot, a sexist, arsehole and i don't even remember what else. That's cool. Anyway i said it before if you can't participate in this thread and you find the joke period offensive go f***k your self you big hypocrite. Over and out and i don't care what you're doing to answer because I'm not reading this thread again. 8

Not even as editorial. I don't know you and clearly you don't know me. I have never called anyone an arsehole in here. My apology was sincere and if you can't accept it you can go and f***k your self. I joked because the thread was getting out of hand, just to lighten up the whole thing. I didn't insult anyone and most definitely you wasn't one of the persons that helped. No one forces you to be in this thread. Let alone calling me an arsehole over a period joke. If that's to heavy for you then you can gtfo. Keyboard warrior. I bet you are one of the biggest racist.That is a reason to be insulted... Not a period joke that couple of you turned to a political agenta. Again come and see how many people I've helped in the island of Kos the last couple of years and then you can talk about arsholes. You wouldn't even dream to offer something anywhere close back to your fellow human beings. 12

Adobe Stock / Re: Clearly the person that QCed my photos had a very bad day.« on: January 21, 2018, 08:41 »I've been to Meteora multiple times and undestand what you are talking about but the thing is are there really buyers and in that quantities that need photos of Meteora, let alone all the individual Monasteries there? I think you are wasting too much time uploading that much photos with no potential return. What I'd do if I was close to it I'd try to capture the vast location in one shot, in different seasons and different times of day to get unique shots, something passing tourists can't do and be done with Meteora.Finally someone with a proper reply. Thank you qunamax, appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately the place is too far away from me. I live in Kos in the winter and Corfu in the summer, so not easy for me to get there. Nevertheless I'll try to get there again. Thanks again for your feedback. P.s My wife hates it when i use the period joke. I use it when i want to annoy her. 15

Come on guys... Off topic.
I apologized 3 times with in a post. Let's talk about the issue here. My bad photography as it said before by someone or for the fact that I didn't ask for properly release from some rocks... 16
Adobe Stock / Re: Clearly the person that QCed my photos had a very bad day.« on: January 21, 2018, 02:44 »Why are you apologising? If people are butt-hurt because of something that you said, it's their problem not yours.From curtesy... Just hope some times people were as sensitive to other more important things in life than just a joke. But then again they don't see the hordes of war refuges washing out from the sea in Aegean every day like i do. THAT is a sensitive issue... 17

Obviously i apologise for the wrong term that i used and especially the women that had to read that (I'm merried by the way and i hate offending women) but I'm was seriously pissed off. So apologies again...
Now about the comment Sammy the Cat made: it wasn't 300 hundred photos of rocks. It was around 100. If anyone of you been in Meteora you would know how vast it is and how many different monasteries there are there. So there wasn't a single identical photo there. All different views and different angles. I tried to keep it to minimum. There are accounts in Adobe and shutterstock that have hundreds of identical photos of a tree or a plate and forks, so in my eyes your argument that I'm stoopid is invalid. About the model release since you can't see a face in Adobe stock (it was my wife) you Don't need a model release and as i said Meteora doesn't require model release anywhere... Maybe for you it's another rock in Greece but for me it isn't. No more than Grand Canyon that there are 2.000.000 the same photos. But i mean, come on, property release from a rock? Anyway you right as i said couple of times about my stupid mistake but you wrong about the fact that it was just another shot of a rock or that some rocks require property releases. I stand my ground thinking that whoever QCed my photos had a bad day. And now i have to pay for that... 19

I uploaded almost 300 hundred photos,most of them from Meteora Greece.Almost all of them rejected cause of intellectual property refusal when i know for sure that Meteora doesn`t have photography restrictions and don`t require property release. And i`m 1,000,000% sure about that.Not only that but all other stock agencies accepted them no problem.I even had a photo of rocks rejected,no monastery or building...ROCKS!
Not to mention that many other photos rejected for similar image,when there are only two photos the same but one is vertical and the other horizontal.Plus many rejected for aesthetic or commercial appeal of image.On other agencies again accepted with out a problem. So, yes the person that QC`ed my photos on Sunday 20/01/18 23:00 local Greek time was clearly on a bad day... 20

Cool portfolio you have there.You still photography is good( i think anyway ,i can`t do still photography to save my life ).
Like Alex said it will take some time for sales to pick up once you find out what sells and focus more there. 21

Well done Steve. Very detailed analysis. I think it helps everyone not just me.
Thanks for sharing here with us. P.s : Not a single sale yesterday across three agencies, alamy, shutterstock and Adobe. 22

Wow, I'm was out and didn't have internet. So many replies. Thanks all of you guys trying to put me at the right path. Don't forget that I'm a noob, in stock and photography, so take it easy on me guys...
"I have looked at the image in closer detail and although it's a nice moment, I wouldn't classify this image anywhere as close to "premium", so in my opinion, there's no harm in putting it everywhere and RF. I have put it as a close up on this message, I trust that is OK. You didn't ask for a critique so I won't offer one " Thanks again Alex. As i said on my previous post i didn't think that this shot was "premium" nor is technically perfect. Is one of this moments that lighting changes, people move back and forward and you just take the shot. I didn't plan it. I only put it so i can learn from you guys the ins and outs of stock. Another question is that this image was RF, if i had it as RM you think the price would be the same or different, or it just dictates that with RF i can sell elsewhere if that makes sense. Ah and thanks for the tip about planes. P.s.: I don't know why i couldn't quote properly from my phone. 24

I made a big sale on Alamy today. Big for me anyway. The biggest so far. 45 euros.
How weird, we was talking with Alex about it the other day... It's an editorial shot from the Carnival in Corfu. I wouldn't say is "premium" but hey, it's sold. Now the question is : I have it only on Alamy exclusive. If I had it on shutterstock as well you think whoever bought it would look on shutterstock to get it cheaper? Questions, questions. 25

Strong point Steve. In the end of the day with my limited experience on stock photography i still believe that anything can sell (maybe I'm wrong) but at the same time you may have an image that you think is super premium and that image never sells.
