General Stock Discussion / Got invitation from Getty on Flickr
« on: February 10, 2009, 14:07 »
They want 12 of my pictures. Only half of them has not been submitted to microstock. I filling forms now and I guess if I can exclude other images later. Also what similar means? If I got photos from same location but different time would it qualify as similar? I guess this is pretty wide term form me.

General Stock Discussion / Taxes: W-9, 1099, etc
« on: January 28, 2009, 16:03 »
This year only Shutterstock asked me for W-900 (I made more than $600). Does it mean that only SS is obligated to provide me with 1099 form? How do I handle others where I made some small payout last year?

General Stock Discussion / Should I stop using CPL for stock?
« on: January 14, 2009, 14:54 »
I got lots of rejections of photos shot with circular polarizer. Inspectors claim that it was over filtered or had wrong WB.

General Stock Discussion / What is next sales event?
« on: January 12, 2009, 18:32 »
I have been doing micros for less than year and I noticed that some holidays and events generate more in sales if you have right pictures ready at a time. I experienced spikes on Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I guess than here in US next one will be Valentine Day, right? To be ready I probably need to look at calendar and see what holiday is going to happen next month :-)

StockXpert.com / What happened to StockXpert?

No sales since mid December.

General Stock Discussion / Do HDRs sell?
« on: December 19, 2008, 13:40 »
I got lots of rejections on SS (for incorrect exposure/WB) but some were accepted/sold on FT.

I got a feeling that it may be worse than previous one. I guess everybody is cutting corners.

   Dec   Dec/Nov
SS   62.20%   74.61%
123RF   16.09%   126.98%
FT   5.77%   449.06%
StockXpert   4.36%   28.13%
DT   2.72%   20.54%
IS   2.71%   68.37%
CS   0.81%   80.00%
BS   0.40%   50.00%
      69.44%

SnapVillage.com / Corbis just sent you $15.00 USD with PayPal
« on: December 16, 2008, 19:41 »
I earned $14 in October, then almost nothing in 2 months so I was surprised when I received notification about transfer to PayPal. I did not request money so why now, why not in November?

General Stock Discussion / What happened to Getty's Flickr deal?
« on: December 15, 2008, 18:05 »
I haven't heard anything for months...

General Stock Discussion / When you loose patience with an agency
« on: December 15, 2008, 16:16 »
I do not really see why I should delete account. I'd rather stop submitting and check once in a while if I am having any sales.

214
General Stock Discussion / What's your niche?
« on: December 09, 2008, 15:12 »
After half a year on microstock I am not sure if I actually found my sweet spot. I probably have no chance to compete with people like Yuri on studio shots of business situations. So far my most viewed/sold images are nature landscapes.

215
Tried to optimize catalog, restore previous one from backup and reinstall. No error message so I cannot guess what's wrong. It was working fine until yesterday when asked to make backup. Then I imported some pictures and tried to edit them. No changes to system that I am aware of.

General Stock Discussion / US Election Day = no downloads
« on: November 04, 2008, 18:14 »
I guess everybody is busy voting cause it's slow like on Sunday :-)

217
Corbis executives said that the stock licensing industry will decline over the next four years, and the company will cut the royalty rate it pays most rights-managed contributors.

Cameras / Lenses / Sigma 4.5mm F2.8 EX DC Circular Fisheye HSM
« on: October 17, 2008, 16:59 »
I rented this lens for a weekend trip and I am trying to submit some photos to some sites. So far it seems they do not want this type of photos. At SS they actually rejected claiming than I am using some sort of software filter: "Effects--We do not allow autotracing, simple filters or artifical framing". I decided to keep frame so it can be visible that I used lens not software to generate this image :-)

Yaymicro / My first sale
« on: October 16, 2008, 18:03 »
I haven't checked for a while and when I looked today I noticed that I got first download there. Small size - 0.5

StockXpert.com / How often they update numbers?
« on: October 16, 2008, 12:57 »
They show pictures accepted but counter is not changed...

221
I have heard that East Sierra is very popular among photographers at this time of the year. I am going there with couple friends for a weekend. My friend was trying to book hotel in Lee Vining and they told him that everything is booked for photography workshops :-)

222
SnapVillage.com / How many customers does this site have?
« on: October 06, 2008, 14:17 »
It's kind hard to expect any sales if most of then pictures got less than 10 views :-)

Cutcaster / All files disapeared
« on: October 06, 2008, 14:14 »
I did not login to my account for a while and it was surprise to me today. No files. I hope they do backup.

General Stock Discussion / Cable guy knocked out my internet
« on: October 06, 2008, 14:09 »
It has been second weekend and I did not upload a single picture in October. Sales are slow on SS, 123RF and StockXpert which are usually my top 3.

225
I know Snapvillage does. Who else?
