It will take some time, maybe half a year to finalize this transaction but I guess it would end up like GM acquiring Chrysler. Cherry picking a good stuff and killing rest of the competitor :-)

I guess almost everything got some "commercial value". I just sold this photo on DT:

SS accepted few of these photos and I actually sold one today:

Oh boy, I use CPL all the time :-)

During my last trip I got discussion with a friend who claims that using graduated ND filter is waste of time if you can have the same effect in PS in seconds. I guess how inspectors think, everything is photoshopped :-)

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 :-)

I am at the point where I do not care about rejections. I upload all my stuff to most of my sites and they take whatever suit them.

I just assumed that 2 sales from two weeks are gone but I will wait with enabling subs until it seems to be under control...

That proves it was never high priority. I just turned off subs until it going to be fixed.

I do not see any download on my account since Oct 2nd. If this a bug when it's going to be fixed?

1292
What does it mean to "get wikied" :-D

1293
I was there, later, around Thanksgiving once. I hope it would not be as cold this time.




1294
How they area going to do this? Will they check every single photo, 4M of them???

1295
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 :-)

« on: October 09, 2008, 16:12 »
Too early to judge, I got about 10 views per image so it's hard to expect anything. Way better UI than many established sites but still needs to be discovered by customers ;-)

It may provide a really interesting data. In 5 days we got average 20 Dl from 5 UL :-) Larger portfolio definitively helps but you might have 22 DL/I or 6  DL/I ;-) It's hard to see any numbers if portfolio is below 200 images with only two exceptions to this rule.

If you go to discount store do not complain that it is overcrowded and messy :-) You would never get Mercedes quality at Fiat price :-)

« on: October 09, 2008, 15:36 »
It's waste of time for me and for reviewers so I never try to resubmit. Especially on sites with poor UI like DT where I already got huge backlog of pictures waiting to be submitted so I stopped uploading until it get resolved.

Cameras / Lenses / Re: What was your first camera and the next?
« on: October 08, 2008, 13:34 »
My first camera was made of plastic, viewfinder camera Ami 66 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ami_66). Next one was my first SLR - Praktica MTL 5B (http://www.praktica-collector.de/214_Praktica_MTL5B.htm). I wish I still have them cause they are rare collector items now ;-) After that all Canon EOS cameras: 500N, 3, 10D, 20D ;-)













and NEXT one should be:
