I know about Corbis, GettyImages and Alamy, but what are some of the other Macro Stock heavy hitters?
-
There is also jupiterimages not sure how heavy they are (they owe 49% of StockXpert)
OK as I am usually moaning I thought i would share some good news.
After spending most of the last week preparing 479 images for Alamy and just keywording 97 images that were just accepted there.
I checked my balance and I had actually sold a photo last week (I have had just over 400 photos) though my cut was only $46 as its only an 1/8 of a page with a run of less than 10,000 copies (more than I have made at CanStockPhoto since March) hopefully the first of many sales as hopefully after this DVD I will have nearly one thousand images there.
Actually a miracle they found it as it was a photo with screwed up keywords (no spaces just commas) it had been online since the 22nd of June.
Ullapool and Loch Broom (http://www.alamy.com/stock-photography-search-results.asp?adv=1&aqt=&epqt=Ullapool+and+Loch+Broom+from+Ben+Mor+Coigach&oqt=&nqt=&lic=6&lic=1&ns=1&ot=1&ot=2&ot=4&ot=8)
;D Not my best photo.

congrats on the sale.. even if it was low :)

Congratulations, Fintastique, on a sale with Alamy. I've found sales with them are few and far between, but the money's much bigger. And they take licenced images, too, with the ever-present chance that one of those will sell for really big bucks.
-
Well hopefully in the next couple of months (once accepted and keyworded) Alamy will join my 1000 image club.
I think with Alamy you have a better chance with the more obscure images othewise unless you have amazing keywording skills or very lucky nobody will ever find your photo.
Stil surprises me how everyone seems to submit virtually identical shots of famous sites.

There is also Inmagine that has been around a long time. I actually knew about them through their microstock site 123rf :P
But nonetheless, they have IRIS now which allows photographers to submit photos.
I would say their client database is pretty good so maybe you might want to give it a shot.
