Thanks! Looking forward to some feedback.
Please be gentle, though. I'm brand new to this!

I've been doing a lot less stock since I've been busy with a new project. Back in November, I started a local weekly cooking show called CNY Flavor. I'm filming with my 5DMKII, a 60D and a t2i. I was wondering if any of you with Facebook accounts could be persuaded to "Like" the page for the show? It will only take a minute of your time and will help me sell advertising. Who knows, you might even come across a recipe that you love... Thanks in advance! eta camera info

I personally know a few buyers that don't mind wading through some rubbish to find the gems when sorting by lowest price. I think that it's a nice option to have available.

I'll be spending much less time on photography next year because of the weekly cooking show that I film and edit. I'm not the host, but I do pretty much everything else and it has eaten my life. I'm kind of scared to post the link, but I guess it will help me develop thicker skin.  Anyone interested can check out the episodes that have aired so far at www.cnyflavor.com. Merry Christmas or whatever holiday that you celebrate!

In that case, everyone should advocate Alamy surely Their images aren't at the same price-point as microstock. Don't forget that some of the people buying microstock just plain can't afford more.

I love my Buffalo Linkstations. They're fast and reliable, not to mention fairly inexpensive.

The money that I make at SS is pretty strong encouragement...

From what I understand, stabilized shots in aircraft use steady-cams with built-in gyroscopes.

Does anyone have any experience with a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 on a Canon 5DII? The thing I'm attracted to is the closer minimum focus distance compared to the Canon f4 or 2.8 (not to mention its half the price of the Canon 2. . I'm looking to put together a kit that's as versatile as possible while keeping the total weight reasonable.
I'm looking more to be able to do closeup shots than macro really, so don't think I really need a macro lens, but getting closer than 1.2m might be handy.
I don't have the Tamron, but I have a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and absolutely love the IQ! I picked up a used copy for $600USD and couldn't be happier. The person that I bought it from upgraded to the Canon for the faster focus times, but for me, the Sigma is great!

I've bought a ton of lighting equipment on eBay (mostly from Cowboy Studios) and have never had a single problem.
I take that back... one of my strobes suddenly quit working. When I looked, I saw that I had physically broken the flash tube. I bought another (for cheap) and soldered it in and never another problem.
Just my experience and 2 cents.

I would imagine that contributors who care about their images being found in the search would care...

i am using something like photoshelter.. do i need to pay for hosting service if i want to have my own domain?
who will in charge of email with the domain? is it hosting company or domain register company?
If you are using a hosting company, DO NOT pay for email from GoDaddy. You'll be able to set it up through your hosting company. Paying to hide your personal info does indeed mean that you cannot be traced by 'whois'.
Any other question, just ask!
No. You can purchase a domain name and forward it to any URL of your choosing. You can also choose to mask the domain name so that people don't know where they actually ended up. They'll only see the domain that you purchased in the address bar. In a case like this, you would need to purchase email accounts from the domain registrar.

I currently have 134 domains registered through GoDaddy, and I agree that for domains, they're great, but their hosting is terrible!
For hosting, again I recommend HostGator. Yes, I've had accounts that were using lots of resources and they did indeed contact me to ask me to upgrade. It only happened once.
As for BlueHost, I have a client there and there speeds seem slow compared to HostGator. It could be just me, but that's my experience.
And DEFINITELY buy your domain and hosting separately! I learned that lesson early on.

I'm a web developer full-time and I use GoDaddy.com to register all of my client domains. Their customer service is fantastic and domains are around $10/year. I use HostGator to host all of my client websites and have been very satisfied with them for over 6 years. You can set up email addresses (eg. [email protected]) through your hosting control panel. It's very easy. Feel free to PM me if you have questions or need help.

If you're looking at it from a business standpoint, why alienate the people that provide the images that you pay the lowest commission to? Just curious...

^^ That's a pretty condescending attitude. Sounds like you've been drinking the Kook-Aid and actually believe that only exclusives can produce QUALITY images. Maybe you'd better look again.

I don't know if anyone else saw this today, but I feel that it's pretty darn important. The US Appeals Court for the 1st Circuit ruled that it is a First Amendment right to film/record police officer doing their job in a public space. Bravo!!  Read the article here

Anyone have any idea how large your portfolio needs to be in order to be one of the "VIP" contributors?

Thanks for the warning!
