But what will happen if I am killed in a car accident without last will document?

If you live in the US you have to go through probate, even with a will, but if you die without one the courts have to decide where the money and how much go to the different heirs. It is quite an expensive process if you have heirs fighting over what they feel is theirs, it also depends on what state you live in. Like I said in a pervious post, we have already spent $12,000.00 and are not even done with the battle yet. Probate can cost upwards of $20,000.00 to $50,000.00 depending on the complexity of the estate. So to sum it up....you better get a will, it's not nearly as costly, only a filing fee and that's about it.
So get a will.

Unfortunately I'm only a few dollars away to reach my first payout with them in a year, mind you, it wont brake me to loose that money either, but after so much work uploading to the site I feel I deserve to get pay the pennies I've accumulated...

Yeah I agree [email protected] your that close then hang on, but that $5.60 was from a sell right before they changed everything....I beleive that was in June or July if I remember right.

I don't see what the big deal is with switching. Ebay everything and buy a new system. 

Good point....if all else fails...just ebay it!! Never real thought of that one

If $5.60 breaks me then I'm in bad shape......
No realy I don't really care, I just wanted to get off there so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
As far as deleting the account, I just wrote to customer service and ask if I had to delete each picture one by one or could they do it for me because I wanted to close my account. It was closed the next day, so if your planning on doing that, I'd do it that way since it would take forever to delete them one by one.

I know I was singing the praises of the Huey earlier, but it seems to have gone bad or something. 

Tried calibrating my monitor with my new computer and the picture came out greenish.  Did it several times always with the same result. 

I also tried calibrating a new monitor with my old computer - the one the Huey had worked on.  That also came out looking green.

After some research, turns out that there is a hardware issues with the Hueys.  They have a tendency to give a magenta or greenish cast. 

Don't know why it worked for me in the beginning and now stopped...?

After reading a boatload of reviews I ended up getting the Eye-One Display 2.  Hopefully will have better luck with that. 

My monitor is quite good even without calibration, but I will feel a lot more comfortable editing images when I know it's properly calibrated.

I didn't know that about the Huey's , Thats what I use. I always notice the colors being on the warm side but never gave it much thought. SO maybe my eyes were working right.

I love genealogy...just love those old old pictures from the 1800, back before there was microstock...or even stock for that matter. i love photographing waterfalls in the National Forest's in the great state of Alabama

Never heard of them...how long have they been around?
Sounds like alot of work to just get images on there.....I guess the main question is...do they sell???

Just my personal opinion... I would hold off on Shutterstock until you had about 100 good images that are reviewed and accepted on another site. That way when you pass the initial review... you can take advantage of the "Honeymoon" period there. That Newbie Exposure is great while you have it.

Oh yeah I remember that wonderful feeling....lol. Actually I got on iStock before Shutterstock. It was quite frustrating and hard to understand, but heh when it happened I was in hog heaven!!!

Listen to jsnover...she has some good advice and good points to consider.

I agree 100% xposurepro. I own a Nikon and know Nikon so will continue to own one.

snaphappy....the one most important thing is this....don't get discouraged when you get rejections, don't give up just because of this....you can actually learn from this. Actually after awhile you get use to it because if you are on several sites, some reject and some accept the same image. All sites have their own type of images that sell well. Just don't get discouraged if you are serious about microstock......with time you get better and better and learn from your mistakes

You got a good point there leaf. Those lens can cost a fortune and unless your camera pooped out along with the lens, which is really rare, then you'd stay with the same brand.

I'm sure there are some of you out there that own both and wonder which one you perfer?

I'd try Dreamstime also. If you want you can post some of your photos to the Photo Critique section of this forum and get some feedback by some of the photograhers here. It would be a big help so they could tell you what would work and what may not work.
