Oh yeah! Another royalty cut on its way! Just what we needed!

Tu quoque, Achille, fili mi?  
No seriously, he was just asking for some feedback. Did FT ask feedback before they did it? Did iStock asked feedback before they "mirrored" our content into the garbage bin? DT has a history of listening so they'll listen.

I didn't submit them yet to any stock agency, so I don't know yet. What do you think?

First of all, this work is fantastic! I think it's too good for any microstock agency that prefers short clips as raw material. Why don't you offer this ready-made work to media or travel promo agencies?

I yielded to Lisas Theorem : don't leave money on the table (since tomorrow might never come).
I uploaded 10 but after a while I got error 500 on their server. I hope they won't be like Veer that can't handle slow uploads from poor people in the third world. 

but I am (still) waiting for a proper upload method since I've got no time to upload 20 pictures at a time to a new site

Still 10 times less than on Veer where the FTP always disconnects and that doesn't accept IPTC properly (they are married to Adobe's private scheme and ignore the base IPTC scheme). Browser upload only works with 1 file at a time. At least iRockstock works like a charm even on a jungle-wifi with antenna.

This might be a weird idea, but did you ever see (included thumbs generation) the images on your PC with the cam disconnected? You might not have hard-copied the files but just the shortcuts to the cam files. In that case, just reconnect your cam (hopefully with the memory card not yet formatted) and your folder might magically reappear.

I had exactly the same scenario once with a stand-alone USB disk.

Is it just me?

Some weeks are priceless 

the problem is its very hard here in my place to get model release

After asking all our trade secrets ( ), what about some info that goes the other way. For instance, what is your place?

Can anyone give me the list of subjects what (according to you/someone) SS still welcomes or subjects which are frequently rejected by them...?

Well this topic was about DT, but I guess it goes for all microstock agencies. Sunsets, waterfalls, travel and landscapes are still accepted, but they have to be stunning and postcard-like, the thing that you would put up as a poster on the wall.

Is somebody using or know of any software that can copy-paste title, description and keywords from an image to another or even to multiple images ?

This is a story about acorns. Once upon a time in Middle-Western Europe a man passed by a village that had its village green bordered with many tall oaks. Needing many acorns for his business, the man saw an opportunity and spread the news around that he would buy all available acorns for 1 euro per kg. A fair price and after a day he left, his two carriages filled up with acorns and the villagers with a decent amount of cash.

The next week he was back, now offering 2 euros per kg. Of course, the easy to find acorns were already gone, so the villagers and their kids went all around the village green to dig out more acorns. Sure enough, the man left the next morning with one full carriage and the  lucky villagers with plenty of more cash.

Ten days later the man returned again, spreading the news he was out of acorns and was willing to pay 5 euro per kg this time. The villagers, hearing this, stopped working on their fields and the kids staid out of school just to rush around for more hard to find acorns. After a hard day roaming around in the woods, they returned with a few bags of acorns and were elated to receive a 5 euro bill for every kg. Not even half a carriage but the price made up for it.

As they expected the man to be back soon with even a better offer, the villagers stopped working and schooling altogether and tried to hoard as much acorns as they could in advance. Of course those were almost all gone. The most clever ones walked to neighboring villages where they bought all the acorns they could get for 5 euro, but that weren't that many since apparently our acorn-buying man had passed there too.

Greedy and desperate, the villagers now started buying and selling acorns amongst themselves and prices went up a lot. No work was done any more except searching for acorns in all possible forgotten places and the school had to close down. They expected the man to be back 10 days later with an offer of 10 euro per kg or more as apparently, he badly needed more and more acorns all the time.

But just two days later another man happened to pass by the village. He had four carriages full of acorns with him and announced he would sell all those for 15 euro per kg if there were any buyers. If not, he would go to the next village.
The news spread like a wildfire and soon enough the villagers turned up with heaps of cash as they had withdrawn all their savings, pawned their wives' jewelry and their house. No way they would let go a lifetime opportunity like that, and after just two hours the four carriages were totally sold out.

Needles to say that the first man came never back. It might come as a surprise but this story is also not about acorns. It's about the stock exchange, the banks and Wall Street. Just think how you all have been fooled, peasants 

Thank you for your attention. 

And the point is?
