« on: March 24, 2015, 05:34 »
Am I missing something or DT still doesn't have batch edit/submission??

They had it some years ago, but dumped it...

Now, you only can select which information you want to copy from the previous photo.

According to the email 64% from organic search (engines). Still think self hosted isn't worth pursuing? Rhetorical question.

I always wondered what percent these companies got from that.

73% of all statistics are made up on the spot...  ;D

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

I remember it slightly different:

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to hide
the bodies of my enemies well.

Yes, it is the same here...

I also had a few $0.000 sales showing up yesterday, but that has been corrected by now.

Thanks a lot for this information!

Anything from one for each photo submitted to none at all (this being very new...).

I wrote to support about it, but haven't heard back...

For example, what about an image of the great tit (Parus major)?

Or a pair of them? In breeding plumage, no less...  :o ;D

Thanks. What's funny is there was someone else who played last year, local, with a similar name.
I would be Mr. McFumble...   ::)

That really is funny, because I used the same name last year...  ;)

Salgado is in my all-time top 10 of photography, his photos have just everything, technical skills, emotions, a message, composition, and he's still underrated because the Leica freaks keep foaming from their mouth for Ansel Adams and Frank Capa and Cartier Bresson while Salgado couldn't give a sh-it and had the guts to quit Magnum and going back to freelancing !



Yeah, Ansel Adams, that ole Leica freak...

And Frank Capa is Robert's not-so-well-known brother?

Near the bottom there is a link to the model release.

I have had a good look at the bottom but still can't see the link?
The document you're looking for is called: "Attachment 1: Exhibit Resnick Document"

Or was "having a good look at the bottom" just a play on words?  ;D

Gotta love the attitude - I hope he doesn't write customer communications, as well...  :o

Would that be the same 'attitude' that enabled him to build a business, possibly worth $200M+, in less than 10 years?
I don't know, I think you could say basically the same without patronising your business partners. I was referring to the tone of the message, not the content...

The official reply from the big boss there is -

Folks, there is way too much debate for what is a minor (though I admit, slightly annoying) thing. Some areas of the site don't update in real time. They are areas that are not vital, unlike the ones where we sell images. All areas that sell will have top priority for resources and are updated in real time. The others (like various reports etc) are not as important. We still want them to work of course, but don't make such a fuss out of it. Servers crash, they are hardware. Doesn't mean your sales are lost, they are all counted and will show up. I think there are tons of more important things in the world for a photographer than checking stats every few minutes. No matter how much I love doing that too (self slapping). Just my two cents.

Gotta love the attitude - I hope he doesn't write customer communications, as well...  :o

"Kindly note, that we discovered a new way to screw you. But now, that you found us out, we will remove your images from our sister/cousin/mother-in-law site. After all there are still tens of thousands other photographers who don't know about this.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you need someone to tell you: "Go, f$ck yourself!" in many different, polite ways..."

Notification emails are back for me, together with the lovely Mrs. B. Two subscription sales for $0.31 (as before) and one subscription sale for $0.46. I haven't got a clue what is going on, maybe I should ask Mrs. B.?  :D

FYI: Notification e-mails are gone again - and so is the portrait of the lovely Mrs. B.  ;)

Folks, as it is not yet October in some places of the world, this thread is completely premature and was opened unauthorized. It will therefore be closed at this point.

Please wait until we(!) open the official "How was your September?"-thread. All other attempts to discuss this topic will be shut down immediately...


Sorry, guys and gals, I always wanted to do a Lobo  :o ;D

As for September, it was meh. Thankfully someone switched ODs back on at SS, and, surprisingly IS was really strong this month, new credits or not. Apart from that, everybody is still on summer vacation or already hibernating. SS still doesn't feel "normal" - today, a weekday at the end of the month and still only three sales - that's not right, European sales are completely gone in the last few months for me...

@Cesar: So far I only had subscription sales (for the correct amount), I will look extra careful at my next credit sale...

I just got my first notification email after ten days. They obviously changed the language depending on the country of residence in your profile as mine are in German now...

DepositPhotos / Notification emails gone?
« on: September 25, 2014, 10:23 »
I used to get a notification email every time a download happened at DP. The relevant option is still activated in my profile, however I haven't got any emails for the past week although I had downloads in that time. The inevitable question: Is it just me?

If I just reload the main page once or twice, my earnings magically appear - what's left of them, that is...

« on: September 21, 2014, 04:11 »
I don't know if it means anything, but my Bigstock sales over the last three days have picked up sharply. Eight sales on a Saturday is very unusual - and they were well spaced out, too, not all from one person...

How are your SS sales in relation? I'm asking, because I'm also having a good month at BS, but only a so-so month on SS, and I'm wondering if the migration might SS to BS, rather than IS to BS...

Hopefully it hasn't got a built in light-meter so that the purity of the buyers' photographic understanding will be utilised to the full.


Shame that I can like a post only once...

But if you're looking for a meter-less camera, look no further:
