Nikon / D200 - Strange lines since Nikon clean
« on: July 20, 2015, 04:51 »
Ok, I have only just found this after a days shoot since Nikon re-cleaned my D200. I have found strange horizontal lines when zooming right in in a pattern when shooting vertical and vertical when shooting horizontal.

What could this be considering I now have a clean sensor and shot at 100 iso? Tried both lenses and the same pattern so def the camera.


279
Is it worth it ? I had an offer like this a couple of years ago and the buyer never responded.

Computer Hardware / Good enough film scanner for microstock
« on: July 17, 2015, 05:19 »
I have been looking to invest in a good enough scanner  for 35 mm slide and BW negs which I will further refine in Lightroom. Mostly it will be family archive but some images I could use as stock, especially retro images.

Would this do the job ? It seems highly rated

Well DT have informed me a potential buyer would like to purchase one of my files with exclusive rights license (SR-EL3). They give me a link to follow in the email (thinking it will be the details of the file concerned) and all it is is a link to what a SR-EL3 is.

 So how am I supposed to know what image they are talking about ?  :-\

Tuesday great sales. Wednesday a drop. Today 1 sale.

iStockPhoto.com / Balance is going backwards and forwards

Anyone else have their balance going up and down ? Yesterday it dropped. Today it was back up to where it should be and again it has dropped down $20. I have no idea what is happening  :-\

« on: July 07, 2015, 16:52 »
I got 197 of 38 cent single dl today. It is the same as my average download in a day without "single and other download" i almost make 400 sales today. So excited about the  amount of images downloaded  today  but not really excited for the money  ;D

Good grief 197 ! I get 6 or 7 and I think I have had a good day. However I have had all sales of 0.36 today but no increase in actual sales. Just 5  :-\

PhotoDune / Re: I'm Done with Envato

Still the rejections keep on coming. Also SS has gone the same way of late. These reviewers are out of control.

287
Absolutely ridiculous rejections. A whole days work editing for all to be rejected. The stock reason seems to be "Poor lighting conditions" but last time with the same image it was something different.

SS and Photodune are both as bad as each other. The worst thing is I deleted a good image (that made an A list movie poster) re-edited it to make it better (I didn't have lightroom in those early days) and they keep rejecting it on the basis of out of focus, despite the fact it was taken on a tripod. UNBELIEVABLE !

As I am new to Fotolia, so far I have earned 3.56 credits. Is this money or not ?

Still dead.

Ok, if that is the case I won't.

I have Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015 which I have been using for some time to send .Mov files (H264) to various sites. I am not sure exactly how to render files for istock as the FAQ seems confusing and as a novice to the world of footage it's a complex process. Can I just send the .Mov files or is there some other special rendering format I have to do ? If so, could anyone who uses the same magix software advise on settings ?

Much appreciated.

Absolutely dead. Still no sales and still annoyed they deducted some of my earnings for some unknown reason. Since joined Fotolia I have already had loads of sales. Note to self: do not upload anymore images to DT.

Just joined Fotolia and made 2 sales but at 0.15 and 0.18  each, what kind of joke is this ? Even worse than SS 0.33. Talk about a race to the bottom.

So they sent back another refusal for my application and yet again, no indication of what the issue is, just a vague it could be. I have emailed support but no answer.

All other sites that ask for a W8-BEN never have issues when I give them my tax number.

As a UK contributor I have no idea what I am doing wrong when filling my W8-BE tax form as I do this for other sites with no problem. I filled in the usual details with my non US tax number and I got this message:



Thank you for submitting your U.S. IRS withholding tax form. Unfortunately, we cannot validate your form due to the following reasons:

-The information you provided on the form does not match your Profile information, or
-Certain information on the form you provided does not correspond to the IRS when confirmed.

Please review your information. You may re-submit the applicable form available in the Tax Center to prevent automatic tax withholding at the appropriate rate on your Fotolia income.



I have no idea what I am doing wrong as they do not highlight the error. Are there any UK contributors who can help me fill this form in as an individual ?

Thanks.
