Self-criticism is an important value. By detecting problems, you can fight to solve them. If there are no problems, everything is perfect.

You are wasting your time.

Las traducciones que hacen las agencias son muy malas. Al poner todos los ttulos y descripciones en ingls muchas veces son ininteligibles en Espaol con la birria de traductores que usan. En DP por ejemplo, mis fotos estaban todas mal traducidas hasta que me di cuenta y contact con ellos. En IS o SS los traductores no son mejores y en realidad lo mejor sera que todo el material estuviese exclusivamente en Ingls.

Eso es un problema, as como la dificultad de encontrar palabras especficas en ingls para los hispanohablantes. Mis fotos se venden aproximadamente tres o cuatro veces ms en IS que en ninguna otra agencia y eso se debe al vocabulario cerrado y a la posibilidad de usar descripciones muy largas, donde uso todas las variantes de lo que estoy fotografiando. Por ejemplo un edificio de Roma muchas veces va en ingls, italiano y latn.

En los ejemplos que pones t suelo usar las variantes espaolas o gallegas en las palabras clave. Lo cual supone un gran problema, porque los topnimos de muchas parte de Espaa han sido cambiados recientemente de modo arbitrario a pesar de que sus denominaciones siguen siendo las tradicionales en la Wikipedia por ejemplo. Eso es una pesadilla, por ejemplo en Finisterre o lugares as, que nadie conoce por su topnimo "oficial" y que ellos mismos nunca han usado ni usan en la actualidad. As que tienes que usar cape fisterra cape finisterre fisterra finisterre lighthouse y faro. Si haces fotos muy especficas, como hago yo muchas veces de lugares tursticos con edificios concretos se te van las 50 palabras rpido. Ejemplo: la plaza del Obradoiro con el Palacio de Rajoy y el Hostal de los Reyes Catlicos. Es prcticamente imposible meter todo lo importante en 50 palabras y tres idiomas as que te dejas muchas cosas fuera. En este caso por ejemplo es ms importante usar camino de santiago (en Espaol) y way of apostle st james que Pazo de Raxoy o Hostal dos Reis Catlicos, variantes que nadie usa. Curiosamente nadie usa "camio de santiago" no lo he odo jams, mientras que "xacobeo", a causa del marketing, ha extinguido la forma tradicional "jacobeo".

Y el gran problema aqu es que las palabras inglesas no reflejan las palabras espaolas. Salvo que seas totalmente bilinge me parece imposible acertar con las palabras concretas en muchos casos, as que yo acabo usando cientos de sinnimos: ship, vessel, boat etc. El lado bueno es que mi ingls ha mejorado espectacularmente.

De todos modos creo que hay que asumir que muchas fotos nunca llegan a su comprador potencial, as que hay que usar trminos genricos tambin. Esto es un negocio diseado por anglosajones para anglosajones y hay que adaptarse a ellos.

Aunque yo tengo la sospecha de que en sitios como nuestro pas la agencia de fotos gratis es la que va a desbancar rpidamente a todas las que usamos aqu. As que habr que considerar, en el futuro, meterles las fotos a ellos. Yo de momento no tengo cuenta, porque tienen un sistema distinto y en Espaa parece que te obligan a darte de alta como autnomo. Adems parece ms un sistema piramidal que otra cosa, habra que saber si los fotgrafos aficionados, como yo, sacan dinero de ella o no.

Saludos.

Hi:

Do you still have a keywords limited number?  :o

The good thing about this business is you can't know what agencies do with your stuff. Even with sales.

Hi.

What about a guide to deleting accounts and ports? I have read issues with this in several agencies. Maybe we can post our feedback in one topic to know well the problems in some agencies.


Me:

- Pond 5. Easy and fast.
- 123RF. Easy and fast. I had no pictures online in this one, just the account. Had deleted them before.
- Istock. Easy. Pictures selling for several months but I got all my royalties.

Maybe could be useful for those who want to become exclusive in one agency or for newbies as a warning before submitting to those companies.

If these ignorant guys take their arms could be a good thing in some way.

Out of the streets for a long long time in the USA (or dead). The National Guard and the Police are prepared now. No jokes at this time.

He compared Wednesday's riot at the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob to Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, the rampage of violence by the Nazi regime against Jewish communities, synagogues and businesses in Germany and Austria in 1938.

Conan is a commie but he is right.

I don't expect a civil war in the USA, US Army is not a banana republic army, is a Western nation professional one. Ragged nazi trash is not an army and normal people are not going to follow their deliriums, because they are so busy paying their bills (the 70 millions I mean). And people don't like the jail or the lethal injection. The stormers are weaker than you think, you can be sure. The man in bison disguise who believes in the aliens is not a menace, It's like a nazi Groucho.

But hate, violence on the streets, domestic terrorism... eventually more mental presidents? Well... We have to think about the quality of american democracy now.

Somehow it seems America learnt nothing since WW2!       anyway I heard it was a mixture of Rep protesters and Antifa/BLM!...on a British channel!

Trump hailers here have a flying with an antifa undercover action with maga disguises. Don't know   whether it is true or not. It  looks real but, most of the protesters had their faces uncover so, let's see the next days.
