Title: What image of yours has the most downloads?
Post by: mwp1969 on January 15, 2008, 16:55
I am new to stock photography and would like to see your most marketable or popular image based upon the number of actual downloads.

Here is mine with a reminder that I've only been doing stock for 3 1/2 months.

Not a good seller in StockXpert, but does well in IS and FT.

This one is my second best seller, but then it's been around longer.

Vonkara,

Use the image tag - second on the second row of buttons, just below the italics.

Adelaide

Here's my highest seller!

It was done with my old 2mp camera so I didn't upload it anywhere except FP:
http://www.featurepics.com/online/Waterdrop-574306.aspx
It wasn't sold there but I've sold it many times directly from my site(have no idea how people actually found it as it was uploaded in folder and doesn't have even description).
Actually this photo make me think that maybe I'll be able to earn cash with stock agencies for new camera if publish more of my pictures and they got good exposure.

thanks for compliment! wish I could have better camera than, as many people who inquired about don't wish to get 2mp photo.

Other photos posted here not only have strong emotional value but a good quality which is what my photo definitely lack.

Leszek, you need to use this link so other could view your photo: http://www.fotolia.com/id/5549902 as one you posted is accessible only through your account. Anyway your photos is really great, one of best water falling photos I've seen.
Wonder if you used blue colored light for it or just background?(of course if it's not a secret :) ). I'm asking because I like to photograph water myself but fail to get such clear colors as on your photograph.

No, it is not a secret: blue background, 300+ images shot at 10fps (or close), some PS work  :)
