Well I have been on istock over 2 years and i have FINALLY got my first flaming image.

it is about time.

What a boring image though :S

Hehe, congrats!
I also had the same view about my own flame. I mean, I have a lot of more itneresting pics, but boring = good apparently!

My first flame was a photo that I nearly didn't upload because of bad lighting but decided to put it up and see if it was accepted and then delete after I had reshot it. It flamed in less than 3 months.

Congratulations Tyler!

Did they let you know about it, or did you just happen to see it?

leaf · « **Reply #4 on:** September 27, 2006, 14:01 »

no i had to look and see for myself.

wow fotografer... 3 months. That is impressive.

CJPhoto · « **Reply #5 on:** September 27, 2006, 14:12 »

What does it need to be to be a flame?

chellyar · « **Reply #6 on:** September 27, 2006, 14:14 »

100 sales or more...

I've got two, both of which are not very flash stock photos.. Go figure.

Congrats Leaf...

i think it has more to do with search rankings than anything. I had a crappy picture of a skeleton key that raced up to 98 downloads, then all of a sudden stopped. In the time it got lots of downloads it was #3 in the search for skeleton key. Once it was moved to page, 3 or something, it stopped getting downloads alltogether.

Not sure how to get onto the first page of the search rankings though... if you knew, you could probably double your earnings.

CJPhoto · « **Reply #8 on:** September 27, 2006, 14:20 »

For some reason I thought it was average of 10 DL per month.

Once once a flame, always a flame then.

leaf · « **Reply #9 on:** September 27, 2006, 14:27 »

yep, once a flame always a flame.

1000 downloads gets you a blue flame.

GeoPappas · « **Reply #10 on:** September 27, 2006, 15:22 »

Congratulations.

Hopefully I will get one within the next year or so. I have a few photos that are around a 1/3 of the way there after 6 months.

jlye · « **Reply #11 on:** September 27, 2006, 16:21 »

heee

i have 1 red flame and 6 normal flames.

the one with the red flame puzzles me as well .. averages 48.5 DL a month.
But as usual, no complaints as long as it earns me $$$

leaf · « **Reply #12 on:** September 27, 2006, 23:02 »

i thought the red flame WAS the normal flame? or do you mean one blue flame?

fotografer · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2006, 02:07 »

Normal orange flame - 100
red flame - 500

Wow! That's well over 1 download a day, every day. That's amazing. Congratulations.

Can you show us the image, or give a link to it? I'd love to see it.

My best-selling image is only on 14 downlaods per month.

jlye · « **Reply #15 on:** September 28, 2006, 17:47 »

This is the photo which sells like hotcake. But only on IS, not on the rest of the sites that i submit to.

Really have no idea why its such a good seller at IS

i suspect a mix between a well taken picture and good search ranking.

I need one more download for my first flame, someone download it please.

Bateleur · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2006, 12:52 »

Amazing image! You shouldn't have to wait long for that flame. Congratulations.

marcviln · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2006, 13:37 »

Good job. Congratulations. I know it's always nice when you learn that a lot of people appreciate your image. Best, Marcviln

leaf · « **Reply #20 on:** October 10, 2006, 16:25 »

great image mattb. not surprising that it has a flame...or almost

FourSeasons · « **Reply #21 on:** October 10, 2006, 16:47 »

Nice shots here, congrats!!

I have two blue and 22 orange flames at the date. It's to little when I see some of top sellers are downloaded several thousands times!
