Title: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: leaf on August 24, 2007, 07:54: Allright, well it seems to be working and there seems to be interest in the istock lightbox idea. How about a new lightbox each month?

Any others ideas for a box next month?

remember to vote - and you can change your vote as new ideas are added to the poll (you get 3 votes by the way). The idea with the most votes on sept 1. will be used.

Post by: Mellimage on August 24, 2007, 08:03: I like the idea of B&W - but I also love monochrome pics - maybe that would be an idea - instead of B&W to do monochrome?

Post by: pr2is on August 24, 2007, 09:03: Do you guys see increase in views/sales from this? Or too early to tell?
Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: ManicBlu on August 24, 2007, 10:25: I love monochrome as well and keep a lightbox of these images at iStock. As beautiful as they are they're a hard sell.

It's a good time to get the Christmas images out there.

Christmas would be good too.

well we have only had it organized for 4 hours now ... not too much of an increase yet ;)

But for my personal files and lightboxes i think it helps. I think the more specific a subject is the more useful the box is. So for september perhaps a specific topic is good. Christmas is fairly specific but christmas baking would be even better. Less people would be able to participate but if there was one each month everyone should be able to get in one eventually.

Doh... very smart question on my part, wasn't it ::)

Sorry, somehow didn't connect it with fresh thread on nature lightbox and perceived as some ongoing thing that I missed, lol. Doofus is as doofus does.

Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: leaf on August 26, 2007, 15:48: it looks like B&W is a popular topic for many, but i wonder if it is too broad for a usefull lightbox. Someone who is looking at B&W images probably also has an idea of what the subject of the photo is, not just any old B&W photo. I wonder if it would be better to have B&W people or B&W landscapes or something more specific. Any thoughts?
Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: sharply_done on August 26, 2007, 16:31: I agree 100%.

I also question the commercial value of b/w images - these belong more to the fine art market than the commercial photography one. Monochrome stuff (i.e. tinted black and whites) might be more useful.

We need a strong theme that addresses a target audience.
Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: madelaide on August 26, 2007, 17:55: I don't have any B&Ws in my portfolio, but a couple of sepia ones that sell. Monochrome ones seem to sell well too, although I observe that their color originals sell better.

But I agree we need a strong theme - that's why I suggested halloween, since it's an upcoming event. Do you think it's too late for it now?

Adelaide
Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: sharply_done on August 26, 2007, 18:56: Halloween is good, but not everyone may have appropriate shots.
How about something more general like "Autumn"?
Or perhaps "Thanksgiving"?
Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: madelaide on August 26, 2007, 20:05: I don't have Halloween images either, nor Autumn or Thanksgiving, but I like your suggestions.

ahh good. I am glad you voted for transport :)
I think B&W is much too broad of a subject actually. If a buyer is looking for a portrait in B&W, and clicks on the B&W lightbox after viewing a nice portrait image - and the lightbox is filled with landscapes, fruits, and trees .... he won't find it too usefull.
Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: leaf on August 31, 2007, 17:30: allright transport it is. I will create the lightbox on monday.

Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: sharply_done on September 02, 2007, 11:16: My two cents: Anything clearly related to transportation (i.e. getting people or things from one place to another) is okay.

People walking in airport is good, people walking on beach is not. Cruise ship is good, model boat is not.
Aliens boarding UFO is good, aliens invading Earth is not.

*Darn* it. These burly guys in dark glasses and black suits commandeered my Interplanetary Spacecraft photos. You mean, they would have qualified?

Title: Re: Sept Istock lightbox
Post by: kabby on September 22, 2007, 16:32: Have had a few sales, but not sure if it was from this or not. Just checked and the lightbox isn't public yet, so it can't be searched in the lightbox searches. So it is only getting traffic from the banner on each of the images. If you go into edit lightbox you can change it to a public lightbox.

Thanks again Leaf for doing these.
