The keyword klansman is in there which is obviously the KKK

1028
Thats probably their unambigues keywording system, the 'controlled vocabulaire', having an epic brainfart

General Stock Discussion / Re: Fotolia's Free Comp Image?
« on: November 12, 2015, 10:52 »
Most agencies offer a comp image. Its very low quality. Don't worry about it

Another one bites the dust

Dumc, i dont recall saying anything about rejecting best sellers

1032
I am all in for less competition

Images for Prime are being reviewed

It is a very manual process, upload watermarked preview, upload unwatermarked full res, submit full res (about 4-10 clicks), no batch submission possible

jodijacobson, that sounds like they are desperate to keep exclusives on board and they used their oldest trick sticks and carrots, history teaches us lessons, learn from them

Why the hostility towards a company offering truly high royalties and not even a micro stock agency, they make me more in one sale than some smaller micros in a year

Getty probably has 200,000,000 photos so they really dont need more photographers or happy photographers, its the least of their concerns, they need sales, theyre losing ground

Photo Critique / Re: what do you think of this photo?
« on: November 06, 2015, 18:08 »
Why do you think this is a troll? Im a beginner and have no intention to fool anyone, just trying to improve.

I think that you're trolling here, because I can't imagine that a reasonable man, who have no understanding about photography at all, don't understand what a rubbish he is showing. So You upload here absolutely trash, ask for a opinion, read comments and laughing at people who waste their time and are trying to help you.

If you really need an opinion, then you got it: your snapshots are absolutely trash. There is nothing to discuss about. You need elementary knowledge.

So don't waste others time and do some homework himself. Browse forums, read books and magazines, check 10 agencies best sellers, check 100 best photographers portfolios, practice with your camera- do 10000 shots and examine them. Then after two months of hard work come here and show your photos. Such is my advice.

No offense.

Ive never quoted anyone here but this has me wondering, very rude, but you want to the agencies to treat you with respect. is it not reap what you sow? we complain the agencies treat us like garbage but I would expect us to be better than that, yet we paint our own with the same brush

« on: November 06, 2015, 15:13 »
That message just means they were testing lower royalties and it hit the live site by accident. my guess is we can expect lower royalties soon. 30 cents instead of 38 then. I mean, a bug, really.

1043
the conclusion is diluted earnings, yes more paid per download on avarage, but spread over more images and contributors thus less earnings per individual

if it wasnt for the big sales my earnings would be dire

1044
cutting our earnings have worked then, although they paid us more per download

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock acceptance rate
« on: November 04, 2015, 06:07 »
Depends how you count, if you count images accepted against unique images submitted, not how many times an image has been submitted

if you submit 1 image and it gets rejected twice and accepted once, you have 1 image online, 100%

there are many ways to calculate and everyone has their own system plus ss doesnt give you an acceptance rate, so i just guessed

Submitting 3 times to get the photos accepted gives you a high acceptance rate but also indicates a problem with the review process

1047
Not denying any of that

1048
you got the point, right?

no need to get all bossy, I didnt ask for critique and i dont disagree with the critique given, i just wonder why everything has to be shot at sunset. if you look at what images are used i hardly see images at sunset

'Try to start with shooting everything when the sun is setting'

Because?

i dont see a valid reason to exclude normal daylight images when done right
