Shutterstock.com / Disappearing photos on SS?
« on: March 29, 2022, 11:34 »
I haven't uploaded to SS for a while and that's why I remember how many photos I have. Yesterday I noticed that 9 photos disappeared out of my collection of ~8,000 photos. Anyone else?

Adobe just sold 2 photos that were rejects last week by SS for

Focus: The main subject is out of focus or is not in focus due to camera shake, motion blur, overuse of noise reduction, or technical limitations of the equipment used (e.g. autofocus searching, camera sensor quality, etc).

I found some old images last week from a vacation in Portugal in 2009. Shot with a Panasonic Lumix FX33 if I'm not mistaken.
They were bad. I mean the images. The vacation was great actually. 
Snapshots with a point and shoot standard end consumer camera and looking at the images, it's clear that I had no idea of what I was doing.
But you know what? Screw it. I uploaded a few shots which I think are still half-useful. Even did some post-processing on those old dusty jpg's.
BAM. All accepted by Shutterstock's evil Hal 9000.

Let me check my vacation photos :)

High end gear, pro techniques - Tripod, Cable release, Focus stacking ...  And then get 10 cents in return. Is it really worth time and effort?

How about investing money and time in underwater photography for 10 cents in return?

What I did see: a lot of 1,2 cent (yes that's right, I triplechecked) sales from China.
Does anyone know what the deal is here?

The same for me. What's going on?

Soon they will start charging us for sold photos >:(

I started doing more and more sky replacement, but don't see a big difference in sales. Sometimes I manage to upload the same photos with different sky, but sill not much difference. I guess if your photos is not on the first page of search results it will be not sold. It's kind for fan for me than profit.

Uncle Pete, I know about add blocks. but intentionally removing them from the sites I know

I noticed Dreamstime advertisement on Contributor Dashboard. It's kind of weird :)

A few months ago I had some news related images and they were rejected, because I need journalist credentials

"the vast majority are cheap subscription sales in the 10-20 $cent range"
The same for me. I have one Single sale this months for almost the same amount as all others 10 cents sales. I would earn less than on Adobe without this sale.

My beautiful collection of face masks, vaccine vials and restriction signs is getting less and less sales. What to shoot now? What's your idea of shooting something for the current news market?
