Good job coming into a microstock forums to talk smack about microstock. We've never seen that one before. Very original.

Thats the Kanye West School of Marketing Degree.

LOL!

You guys are a tough crowd.

I have an HDR version of the water drop that I sell print only. I'll never upload it or put it on MS.

I saw your port on Fotolia and thought the few clips I watched were good. Don't give up your day job making clips because the single photo linked here is IMO quite awful. As a photographer I would hope to have sufficient judgement to delete that shot immediately from the camera card and not flaunt it in circles of pro photographers.

RedScarlet · « **Reply #53 on:** March 25, 2011, 14:17 »

Ouch...

Ok Mr. Pro Photographer.

It's a CG render. Not quite finished yet, needs a little photo shopping and PI effects.

Lol.... petty and childish.

The render just looks so real.

To digress for a second,

I'm very stoked about the new Nikon Coolpix P500. Especially the video. On the photo side I'm going to downscale to minimum sizes for MS. But the video really blew my socks off. One a tripod and with good lights of course.

I just looked at some full size sample stills from the P500 and they look horrible. You would be much better off with one of the cheap dslr's and I'm sure the video quality would be better too.

I haven't found one good review of the camera with proper test shots.

The 120 FPS at 640*480 is really cool. I got clips in the MS pipeline... we'll see.

In the right conditions the video I have shot is a good as dSLR video.

Quite surprised so far.

If it wasn't finished why did you ask if it would get into MS? And as a photographer that has earned a living entirely from photography for the last 25 years that is IMO.

You're full of BS.

You couldn't make that shot on your best day.

This guy is a riot! I can't wait to see what imaginary stuff comes out of his fingertips next.

I was going to buy a couple of nonsense "news" compiling websites, but I decided on #onedaywithjeshinstead .

This is getting better by the minute. Now we can also call this guy a THIEF.

I spent some time looking at his port on Shutterstock, and thought I recognized an image that I'd seen on Shutterstock before...

Check this out... http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-232681p1.html#id=57718309

and then check out this one... http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-30471535/stock-photo-a-speedometer-on-the-earth-shows-humanity-speeding-toward-global-catastrophe.html

Well you know, all images are free to use on the internet.

eta: I'm sure a lot of those images are made of stolen work. Any of those "keyhole" images or anything with an inverted or modified image, like the shopper woman. That content is too random for our OP to have created them all from scratch.

$2000

For that kind of money, I get an eighth of a day with Jesh or maybe produce my very own auto-tuned song about the gloriousness of Friday.

RedScarlet · « **Reply #67 on:** March 25, 2011, 16:06 »

I can't find that image on my Shutterstock portfolio. hmmmm.

The file 'A speedometer on the Earth' is a popular 3d file included with one the major 3D packages available for download through torrents. In other words for those use the cracked version of 3DS or C4D there are a bunch of 3D scenes included.... usually a centurion underground release.

Admittedly I don't know much about 3D, but assuming this is true, is it allowable to submit sample images that came with the (cracked!) software as your own?

The Artist who owns the 'A speedometer on the Earth' file and submitted the unchanged model is probably breaking some rule... but I'll let you rat finks jump on the piece of cheese.

So, in an amazing coincidence, you both managed to render it from the same angle?

Microbius · « **Reply #73 on:** March 25, 2011, 16:27 »

and the other artist has many other renders with different things on the speedo, different backgrounds etc.
