Well it's that bad for me sales are going backwards. I have had $65 in my account for ages and then it goes up to $66. Then it has gone back to $65. What on earth is going on with DT ?  >:(

My image sales were surprisingly good this May after being dead for some time. The audio side suffered though. sales slumped.

They returned the camera after some time and this time (although I haven't had time to test it yet due to illness) it seems clean. The body seems to have had a clean too.

Nikon got back to me and offered another clean. As I will be without my camera again I thought they would fast track it. Nope. The repair is estimated to be done on the 19th. Their response is pretty dire as they hardly answer emails, especially when I requested them to at least give me a faster turnaround (in fairness, it is their error) For a company this big they have a very poor customer service.

This is what all my Photodune emails look like when coming in from reviewers.

So all my SS submissions came in today 100% passed. I know which site knows something about photography and it isn't PD. Clowns.

I am at a loss as to know what they want. They are pretty mcuh rejecting everything now.

maybe a service cleaning from Nikon might be your next step. I loved my D200's and they could take a beating for sure, but eventually they do wear out.

I did send it to Nikon who didn't do the job properly. I am awaiting a response from them but as usual their customer service is poor.

Well, I just got the camera back from Nikon after a clean and the dirty black mark (top right) is still showing in the exact place, although the smear has gone. Tried both lenses and still the same. So what can it be ?

  Lobo's censorship and Kelvinjay's censorship and snooping into our accounts make me sick.

Snooping into our accounts. What do you mean  ?

I find them quite insulting when they reject a strong image, good lighting on the basis of poor composition and poor lighting. They really are amateur clowns and now absolutely nothing about photography. I am convinced they turn down good images because they are compertition to their own work.

I would also say that I get about 90% rejected. I am past caring and ignore thier patronising forum posts suggesting how we can be better photographers to get more work accepted. I just throw enough mud and see what sticks. The sad thing is I get more sales with them than IS and DT.

I hate the process of uploading via Deep Metta tediously going through every keyword, checking boxes, putting them in order knowing that they will end up in a big black hole never to be used.

Numbers have plummeted to about a third of March - but the numbers are so low that they are statistically insignificant. 

Not sure why the OP thought things were 'on the up'...

Because my sales for Jan/Feb/March were increasingly on the up. What else could I think ?

For the first 3 months of the year my photo sales have been increasingly ramping up month by month until April. It has dropped like a stone. I am currently around a quarter of my March sales so far and it looks to stay the same. What is going on in IS ? I thought things were on the up.  :-\

318
Ok, thanks Bunhill. Just wondered why it hadn't cleared.

I am confused as to what money I am actually going to receive.

Balance brought forward:   $42.26   
Total sales:   $70.82
Commission / charges:   $-35.41
Total payments to you:   $0.00
Balance carried forward:   $77.67
Cleared balance:   $42.26
Next payment date:   Not due   

Date   Description   Alamy ref   Detail   Debit ($)   Credit ($)   Balance ($)   Paid *
    Balance brought forward                   42.26   
21 April 2015   Sale   ****   Sale       70.82   113.08   x
21 April 2015   alamy Commission      50%   35.41       77.67   x

Do I have $77 in my account or $44 ? If $77 then why have I not reached the payment threshold ?

Very confusing.

IS is my best earner and is NOT dying. SS next and DT a sale every sighting of Elvis riding on the back of the Loch Ness Monster. Truly pathetic.

In that time I had 2 copies of the RX10 which both had to be sent back as I had lemons. I need the best SLR for video as well so the D750 or D800are on the shortlist. It's the lens I can't decide.

Nikon / Re: Upgrading Nikon D200
« on: March 24, 2015, 06:47 »
believe it or not I still haven't got round to making a decision but my shortlist is a D810 or D750. Both identical at video but iq on the D800 is so much sharper.

Just bad days for me now. Some days just .33 cents. Absolutely soul destroying.

Since the 26th of having those $2 sales I have had nothing. Dead.

Yes, I am the whipping boy at the moment. Every single one of my last batch rejected.

Harder and harder to get accepted images+less and less sales=Depressing.
