Title: Best Micro >>> Macro?
Post by: PeterChigmaroff on May 21, 2008, 16:32

Greetings,

Do any of you, who contribute to both micro and macro, ever use the micro sites as a way of determining your most salable images? Let the best float to the top then pull them and place them in the macro market?

to me, and it may well be very different for those whose images are more 'stock oriented', they are different markets those that do well in micro do little in macro.  most of my best selling macro shots are poor images in micro, quite a number of them rejected for varying reasons including 'not being stock' :)

Phil,

Certainly your comments regarding "not being stock' are indicative of inspectors , who I believe, are nothing but poorly trained pixel peepers. However good images transcend sales model boundaries. Then the question becomes -- assuming you have the choice -- where to place the best images for maximum profits.
