Title: Picturenation closing
Post by: sharpshot on July 31, 2013, 16:51

Not sure if this was mentioned before and I've forgotten but for some reason I just looked at the Picturenation site and they're closing August 17th.  If anyone here has money with them, ask for it via their contact page.

They paid my balance quickly.  I was never going to reach their £50 payout level, so I'm sad to see another site closing but relieved that I managed to wipe out the £10 loss from paying them to upload.  Didn't want a negative sign on my earnings spreadsheet :)

I'm sad to see them close as well. Picturenation was the second site I signed up to back in 2007 and has been a part of my photographic life since then.  I know a lot of hard work was put into the site, not least by founder Jane-Louise Green who was forever prompt and helpful with personal replies to any queries or problems I had.
Should anyone here be interested, I wrote a blog post about the closure a while back http://shootingstock.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/picturenation-to-close.html (http://shootingstock.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/picturenation-to-close.html)

Worth stressing that they are paying out any commission due (no payout level applying) so check your account if you ever uploaded anything there.
