Mostphotos.com / Re: voting system reaching annoying point
« on: May 25, 2008, 00:33 »
I got annoyed at being the target of an idiot who gave low marks to everything in my portfolio.
Now I don't care. I don't even check the site all that often. Only one sale on 700 uploaded images means that I am losing interest.

The 3d model import sounds very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing that. I am off to see if they need any Beta testers!  ;D

I chose to support Kiva. I heard about Panthermedia there on  this board, and so the first money I earned there I donated to Kiva through this board. The next $25 I donated because I wanted to.  :)

They should go with the smell one....

I love it. I use the Firefox plugin. I have found loads of my images in use, it gives me a real boost to see people using my images. ;D ;D

« on: May 13, 2008, 14:25 »
I am in the 3000 - 10000 tier. It will be a long time until I reach the 10000! :)

This site is advertising our local power station here in the UK as a Sugar factory in Brazil! I hope they don't sell our power station, we need it!

General Stock Discussion / Re: Whats going on at SS??
« on: May 09, 2008, 02:22 »
I have over 1000 pictures there, and I am seeing a dramatic slowdown. Even the surge after uploading has not happened this month.
But then again, I am seeing this across all the sites.
Looking back over the last three years, it was the same at this time every year.

So, it is a bit chilly here, shall we have our next free holiday in Bali or Hawaii?  I am sure we could come up with even more crackpot brainstorming ideas in a warmer climate.

I am happy with the way my sales are growing there, and not all of them are subscription sales. For a young site the sales seem to be growing at a nice rate. I have sold far more than I ever sold at LO!

Crestock.com / Re: oh, the humiliation...
« on: April 29, 2008, 08:50 »
I just noticed that Crestock has one of my images in the worst picture section. (A picture that has in fact sold quite well on other sites.) I have never been asked for permission to use this picture, and would not have given permission if I had been asked.

I would like to know what recompense Crestock are going to offer for using my image without my permission.

Off Topic / Nude Photography
« on: April 21, 2008, 12:31 »
I have been trying to get my husband interested in photography. I gave him my 20d when I upgraded my camera.
I thought nude photography would get him really interested, but when he went outside everybody pointed at him, and laughed at him and someone threatened to call the police. ;D ;D ;D

Cameras / Lenses / Re: A recommended lens from God
« on: April 20, 2008, 10:39 »
That's a good one. I could do with a couple of new lenses.  ;)
I wonder if it will work on my husband, even though I have spent an awful lot on camera equipment lately.
"A divine power urges me to buy a new lens darling."
Maybe not, he would say I was listening to the devil!

Well done. You deserve it.  ;D ;D

And its NOT that bad, its great! Its fun and we are all enjoying doing it... if nothing else its a way to have fun with the tight-knit community we are. Its harmless, y'all!  Why do people get all bent out of shape about it? Not going to join until its straightened out?  That seems like a silly reason not to join if its a great site (it is) and its making money (it is).

Call me old fashioned but I always believed the main idea behind stock photography was to make money from your photos not to "have fun and be part of a tight-knit community" , if I wanted to be part of a tight-knit community I'd join my local photo club.



Too true.

Wanna be in my gang?

Funny;  ;D it's nearly that bad.

StockXpert.com / Re: Everybody opted-in
« on: March 23, 2008, 03:06 »
I never opted out, as I think that is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The customers who buy subscriptions are not the same customers who buy single pictures. I believe SX is trying to tempt the existing customers away from SS, so the subscription sales are as well as single sales, not instead of.
I view the subscription sales as sales I would have had on another site, and would have missed if I opted out.

It's working fine for me.
Pehaps your hard disc is dirty. Try taking it out and scrubbing it with wire wool. Should fix it fine. ;D ;)

Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia slow in March?
« on: March 20, 2008, 02:48 »
I have seen just the opposite. I am having a great month at Fotolia. They are beating SS so far this month. That is the first time that has happened! I seem to be getting lots of very large sales, more than in other months.
The site is working smoothly here in the UK.
