Adobe Stock / Re: New "secret" Partner for FT
« on: December 08, 2008, 10:03 »
Are you sure this is a "partner site" and not one of their API portals?  I doubt they'd even know everytime one of those went live.

do you need any of the catalog that's already in there?  not the actual images but could you just start a new catalog and go from there?

I just posted about the new ThinkTank StreetWalker on my blog but what do you guys think about this?! The bag is in between sizes - sort of a "medium" bag to go along with the Accelleration (huge) and the small Urban Surprise type bags.

The StreetWalker HD looks perfect for me. Check out the images on NiltoMil and comment what you think - I'll continue the discussion on it here or there - doesn't matter.

I seem to be able to generate images and keyword them pretty fast - but the thing that slows me down is uploading.  :-\ It's not something I look forward to each week.

On all sites or some in particular?  I like uploading to Yay, Shutterstock, MostPhotos and FotoMind - HATE the rest.  If I could outsource PUSHING on Fotolia I would.

Two places for me:

1) Keywording. Drives me crazy.

2) Record-keeping. Keeping track of what I've submitted where, and what's been accepted/rejected.


Do you technically have to do #2?  Does it take "time" in the process?  Or is it something more like "good info to have" instead of the actual just shoot & submit?  I dunno - Cushy is decent in that way - tells me to where I've uploaded at least.  i could use it for more but since it's all manual, I haven't yet.

General Stock Discussion / Bottlenecking...where do you?
« on: December 03, 2008, 01:00 »
What step in the process do you get hung up on?  What slows you down the most? 

I started an upload at 6:30pm tonight and 6.5 hrs later it's 30% done!! :(  That's a LONG freaking upload.  I'm going to have another HUGE batch done before that gets uploaded. 

So where do you get hung up?  Not shooting enough?  Can't edit fast enough?  Avoid keywording?  Where is your stumbling block?

My RPD follows a similar trend as yours leaf - which is good!

Also a note about Dreamstime - I didnt upload in July, August, Sept or October.  My income is STILL CLIMBING.  How's that?!  lol

Yes, I'm on FF3 so that must be why I see it too - it seems to be expired and FF caught on.

awesome new blog sean - but tried to leave you a comment and it doesn't appear.  Not sure if you have comments moderated or if they're turned off but there's no notification or anything to me about what's going on.

« on: November 26, 2008, 23:37 »
Typical for this site.  *sigh*  Was Fotolia ever actually GOOD to contributors?  Or is that a part of our collective imagination?  Why do people bother?

Shutterstock.com / uptick in ELs
« on: November 26, 2008, 23:32 »
Has anyone seen an increase in ELs on SS or is it just my lucky couple weeks?  I have as many in the last 9 days there as I've had in the last 18 months.

341
Thanks for posting this - that's a great place to start when making one - and getting inside your head. :)

123RF / Re: Do you make $100/month at 123RF?
« on: November 24, 2008, 19:18 »
About 3500 images would get me there.  I make 25-40 on 123RF each month.  It's all part of the long tail...

Canon / Re: Canon 5D Mark II in stock anywhere? ..
« on: November 22, 2008, 10:30 »
All I have seen & heard still says late Nov like Nov 29th.

According to Northlight Images:
"Canon USA is still on target to ship the EOS 5D Mark II to US dealers by the end of November, as stated in our original press release dated September 17th"

Canon Japan agrees with that:
EOS 5D Mark II body November 29th sale schedule

Hopefully places start getting it late next week.  Doesn't matter though - I never buy 1st shipment/1st generation anything.  It always has issues.

www.niltomil.com
and
www.wewillexplore.com

should both be back up now.  On WWE it posted Days 14 and 15 at the same time, which is odd, but whatever.  It seems to be ok.
