Peter, so why are getting pissed off then , and why do you still submit very similar pictures ???Something I don t get ??? ???

maybe because they get accepted everywhere else. they are not VERY simmilar, they are just from the same series. not very similar, but similar enough. hhh.

I get pissed for 5 minutes, and move on...

Yeah, I get pissed off when I get 50% rejected for similarty. But I must be honest, they were simmilar to each other. SS and DT accepted them all, but they are still simmilar. It is my own fault.

maybe it depends when your affiliates signed up on FT.

407
affiliation is only 1 year. my affiliation partners expired after 1 year also. I thought it is 5 years, but aparently, it is 1 year

I don't know about Peter's portfolio, but what Peter may think is 'hi quality' may not actually be the case.  That said, I'm sure its a wonderful portfolio especially to get 4000 images online

by quality I mean "stock quality" (theme), not technical quality (all my images are OK technical quality :D), for example image of pumpkin is something I would call "mid-quality", and some office theme with business people would be hi-quality stock material.

:)

@zeus: when I upload new images, yes, some older ones get few sales, but not the oldest ones.

quality is more important.


I already have over 4000 images online, so I have stady sales. Some 20 days ago I added about 200 new (mid-quality) images, my sales increased by 80% in the next day, and then day after dropped to regular sales. 10 days ago, I added 40 new (hi quality) images, and had about 150% higher sales in next 5 days, and then dropped to standard level...

Cameras / Lenses / Re: Canon 5d Mark II in stock at BHphoto
« on: September 24, 2008, 12:32 »
no, just shipping 190.

custom taxes are about aditional 200.


I calculated for EOS 50D (1800$ = 1240 euro), and here it costs 1300 eur (I have warranty near my place, and instant delivery :D)

Adorama, shipping to USA is free, but in Europe is

FedEx International Economy    
$191.70


+ custom oficials fee about 200$ when it arrives...

so for eos 50D 1400+190+200 = 1800$

that is a little bit too much. :(

Update: we have reasons to believe that this payment option will be back in the beginning of the next week or sooner. It's still not a guarantee (or else it would be live already) but things are moving towards this outcome rather than the opposite.
Will keep you posted, thank you for your patience.

tomorrow never dies :D

Lets hope for it. Fingers crossed. :D

re-inspecting all images (on todays criteria) older than 18 months would be best solution.

Poor images do sell. Mostly buyers are too lazy to search deeper than 5th page, and sometimes will by almost anything.

27 sales of this image:



Got my point?

Amateurs with point-and-shoot 4MP cameras are bad for search engine and advanced photographers who do real stock images.

Yes I did. Yesterday I got 27 rejections out of 40. (reason: simmilar, and they were all aproved at SS, DT, not to mention lower agencies like StockXpert...). But it is a good thing. If they didnt tighten up standards, we would have now 6 milions images, and we would sell 50% less, and would complaining about sales....

If you ask me, I would delete 2 milon not good enough images from FT database (including about 1000 mine). That would increase sales at least 50%.

But thats just my opinion, nobody cares about it....

The reason they give you, doesnt always corespond to the real rejection reason. You should knew that by now. So if the photo is not interesting enough, or should I say, not with good comercial value due to dull colors, uninteresting angle, bad composition, distracting background objects, etc..., they would often reject it as "Type of photo", "overboundand categorie", "Quality of image", etc...

You should post thumnbnail of image that you are complaining about. Only than I can say, reviewers were wrong.

Golden rule no.1: When complaining abour rejections, ALWAYS show rejected images, so we can give you proper comment. This way, I imagine your images were blurry, underexposed, noisy, not very interesting, snapshots, bad composition, dull, boring, etc, etc.... you are wrong, they were right... unless you show us rejected material, then we can make a proper discusion.

There is no news in the MoneyBookers case. We have two options of solving the issue at this moment. If one of the solutions offered can be applied, the MoneyBookers will be back online by the end of this week.

When we have more info on this, we will re-open the old thread and post news. Please be patient as we are confident this will be solved.

Wow! Impressive.

And you can see why mirror lock up is such a useful facility. Look at the way the thing vibrates as the mirror slams up. How many cameras have it these days?

mirror weight is soo little comparing to camera weight, so it has no effect (or microscopic) in camera shake. only paranoic people use mirror lockup.

(ps. canon eos 400D has it too, but I never use it, no need for that).

You are lucky, in my region PayPal does not alow money withdrawals, so my only option is MB.
