I think someone hacked you. Is your port still online?

Shutterstock.com / shutterstock contributor app down?
« on: July 29, 2016, 03:43 »
I have some problems with my shutterstock contributor app version 1.4.1. for android. It doesn't show my earnings anymore since yesterday.
Anyone else?

thanks for the input Michael and apeman.

I subscribed to your newsletter michael, waiting for your submitting experiences

Since I have a smartphone which makes pretty good pics, I am now searching for a stocksite who accepts these kind of images and also sells them.
I already subscribed at the most popular agencies, but I don't won't to 'pollute' my port there with images of a lesser quality.

I heard about snapwire, but also read about their time consuming upload process.

March was BME for me, despite a slow last week.

Photo Critique / Re: Photo rejected multiple times at SS
« on: January 09, 2016, 04:41 »
Always expose on the lights and in post lighten up the dark parts.

Wrong advice. Always expose to the right (ETTR) and reduce the exposure in post, to avoid having to lighten up the shadows and get your photo rejected for noise.

Otherwise, following the SS standard (as I understand it), the photo is rather soft and borderline from the noise point of view.
You might need a sharper lens and/or a better tripod.

isn't that sort of the same? concentrate on the lighter parts, without loosing the details? Just like we did in the old days with slide film.
Also easier to understand for the poster than ETTR (I had to check wikipedia for it).

nice pic but it really is overexposed and not sharp enough.

Always expose on the lights and in post lighten up the dark parts.  Maybe you should have made a HDR image

Now I see you submitted them at Canstock.

Forget that agency for now. Try to concentrate on the big ones, to start with shutterstock.

you can try your luck ..... ;)

If I had that kind of camera, I would wait till the weather is perfect (sunny day, no night shots) and try to shoot some new submission shots. Your subjects are ok, also composition and exposure, so....

the snow landscape and castle at night looked a bit soft to me.

And the noise, I also couldn't see very clear noise problems.

Nikon D80? The 10 year old model? If you are serious with stock, you really should consider buying a newer model.

pretty decent shots imo.  :)

you can always change exposure and reduce noise in post processing, but be sure to shoot in RAW for the best results.

I indeed see some softness/unsharpness. What camera do you use? Be sure you use a good tripod and switch of shake reduction
