Yay!  I got my very first sale off of Dreamstime yesterday! 

I am new to the forum and thought I would jump in and say "hi" with my (admittedly tiny) bit of good news.   This is actually my very first photo sale period.  I am just getting started with microstock; I am currently accepted with istock and dreamstime.  I am about to throw my hat in with shutterstock once I get my 10 ready and vetted in the critique forum.

Just hoping to work up to the level of some of the great folks here!

Congratulations! Very well taken shots, the downloads will keep coming. 

Congrats, and welcome aboard!

Congratulations, fieldsphotos, it's a great feeling, isn't it?

Regards,
Adelaide

Yes - it does feel pretty cool.  It has definitely got me out shooting more - which is what it is all about, right?

congrats on the sale - you have some nice clean images.

and to what this is all about??
yeah, i suppose for some it is to get out and shoot more, others to make a living, others to make a little spending cash, and others just to make the macro guys angry

Congrats FP !!!!   and welcome to the gang, youll find it's a great bunch of folks here!   -tom

Congratulations on the first sale - I really like that origami Swan. I see you have a 40D (I have a 20D and D60) so you have the wherewithal to make some lovely shots.

Shutterstock is a great moneymaker, so do try to get uploading there too. If you haven't thought about Fotolia, I'd recommend that as well (last month they were #2 for me, behind SS, IS was #3.

The next few months are the busy time of the year, so upload all you can now to take advantage of that. And if you like to do seasonal shots - i.e. Christmas - upload those ASAP. It can get you off to a nice running start if you pick up some sales volume while things are humming
