I've never ever had a payout issue with StockXpert right from day one. I've just requested a payout, which usually happens within a couple of days. Let see what happens. I'll let you know.

Got notification of payment when I woke up this morning - just like clockwork. Thanks StockXpert.

I guess I may as well go exclusive with iStock now? The big fish consume the little fish.

Sh*t, StockXpert was my first way back when they opened. And the sales have picked up nicely with those great commissions to contributors. That only leaves DT and FT (i've almost written off SS) for me, and maybe exclusivity with iStock will make up that difference.  Dam!

If you started dating someone at 18 and have stuck with her for 7 year... Wow.  Shows maturity.

If you are not truly "in love" with your 7 year gal, I wouldn't waste her time anymore, especially if your questioning your feelings for your cousin. (your complacency is ruining her chance for true love)

If you "are" in love with your 7 year gal.... THEN QUIT THE F#*k thinking about someone else. 

Sorry... faithfulness rules! Would you marry either one?

Signed... faithful for 23 years and old school over 50.

Oh... and pick the one who will give you the Hasselblad for a wedding present.

I just got paid for the second time with no problems!  Small payout, but on time. Thanks.

I just bought a samsung syncmaster 245T for $668.00 all taxes in (Ontario, Canada) - It is fabulous. I processed some raw shots with "out of box" settings and they were accepted on IS with no calibration or anything. (plan on doing this on the weekend)

My old crt finally crapped out. This is nice!

ditto!

Me too please... PenelopeB

Thanks

Oh dear...Senior Moment. I guess my Yin, Ying and Yangs are off.


Thanks for the clarification.

Congratulations on Image of the Week at iStock.

Nice Shot.

DT has been kicking butt for me too. I had one sale that for over $7.00 !

Go DT 

NICE !

Good job Leaf.

There must be something wrong. I've had the same thing happening, just started about a week ago.

I had one rejected this weekend because of model release missing (and I know I attached it!), but now I have to re-upload, because it didn't put it back into the pending with a chance to add the model release so I've just lost an upload (I only get 15 too) Sucks.

All this still does not prevent certain sites from rejecting images even if no logos etc. are present in the image. They call it "potential" copyright issue.

Basically - the writing is on the wall for photographers. Soon it will be impossible to photograph any item or object which has been produced or created by any human being by any manufacturing process.

Also, you will not be able to photograph landscapes - there are already a lot of places where you can't take pictures - and this includes national parks, landmarks etc. - even if this is public area. Usually one trust or the other sees the opportunity to cash in, and usually under pretences of "protecting", "preserving" or some such - and usually this is a lot of pure BS.

Basically - anything of value on this Earth has a claim staked out. So, if it has even the slightest "potential" of creating some buck - even from a photograph someone may take - it becomes either "protected", or "culturaly significant", or some other dodgy reason.

While the law does not go as far as the above description - the popular perception certainly shifted the balance in this direction. And the law is usually a representation of perceptions as to what is acceptable and what is not. It does not matter - it will happen sooner or later.

I guess this will also be the time when they will make you to pay for the air you breathe - and don't laugh, the recent activities in the "carbon trading" is a beginning of that - it is just that the general public is too stupid and indifferent to care. Well, the average citizen will care when this happens and I just can't wait to hear all the bleating...

Like or not - the world is slowly becoming one large prison. 

YAH!!!!!  SO TRUE... no, I'm not cynical either, nor did I get up on the wrong side of the bed, but walked smack into "everything is governed by the buck$"

I'm just a totally imprisoned "the glass is totally full" person.

Try find gold or oil in your back yard only to find out you only own the top soil!

I voted... did you win??? let us know.

Depends if its an SBD (silent but deadly) - if so, hold your nose, wave your hand, make a face and walk away like someone else did it. They'll all feel guilty like your blaming them.

If it's a "blat"  - Busted! apologize. The honeymoon's over.

We swim and fish near Pefferlaw (in-between Pefferlaw and Duclos Point) where there is a beautiful beach. Everyone does a "floatilla" with tons of boats on a hot day. It's called Chicken Bay fronting on Duclos Point Provincial Park (sanctuary, not a camping park).
We're about 15 minutes from Pefferlaw.

Steve - "I am not a suicide bomber" vest  - I love it!!

Hey Pixart... you lucky person!!  Did you see any floating dead Carp? or have they cleaned them all up.

What part of Simcoe were you on?

So what do you call those vests??

Permanent Press!  HA

Wow ... they've got monopods for the lens, not the camera!

(I feel so under equipped) sniff.   

I'm averaging 4 to 6 downloads a month, some subscription, some regular.

What I'm not getting are view on newer photos?

Gee... when iStock fixed their search issue problems, things picked up at StockXpert, DT, SS, FT, BS and even at Snap?

Go figure?

I'm in marketing, so these are marketing opinions.

Would a meek woman wear "really red" lipstick?

Agnostic - Don't know what created the sky but its a great marketing tool.

Green has made a huge comeback for obvious reasons.

CMYK

Blue, then blue, then blue.

Did I say blue?
jmho.

then yellow, then red

Blue is corporate/professional, Yellow is warm, red is attention getting and aggressive.
