Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24-inch Widescreen.

Currently $599 on their website.

I don't know if the following link will work or how long it's good for, but this might get you there (not an affiliate link or anything like that BTW, just copied and pasted from the browser):

Hello.

My budget is about 600 usd for buying a monitor.

Im quite lost with contrast, brigthness, response time, resolution... issues.

Im thinking in 22 or 24"

What are you using them for?  You can't go wrong with the strobist approach as a starting point and you will always have need for a good speedlight.

Good point. I ll use for studio people shoot but it would be fine if I can go outdoors.

Can I ask you why dont you use the strobist approach in the studio? is about power? accesories?

« on: April 15, 2008, 10:40 »
I bought a hot lights kit too  ;D They aren too bad for product photo and softboxes and stands could be used.
So I decided to upgrade for strobes for people photo

But dont know  wich of this two options:

Compact flashes with radio triggers (strobist way)

Studio flashes.

Could you post pros and cons?

I was wondering the same thing.. there must be something I am missing - except for 123RF not BS...
I dunno, i don't think i have any secrets for bigstock... but sure would like to know what is holding down my 123RF portfolio


Apart from fave images I do nothing.

They are mysteries of microstock sites

520
How can this be...?

Does BigStock have any feature to promote portfolio? any trick?
I have always faved my images at 123 and it works as you know.

Im not a very succesfull stock photographer but here it goes my opinion.
I have to rethink wich are my best 6.

Bigstock has never perform very well for me. 123 is 5 times more profitable.

I hadnt too much success at StockXpert too and I got a lot of rejections. Months without sales. But suddenly StockXpert started to work with everyday sales and a better acceptance ratio. Perhaps Im a better stock photographer now  :)

Also I noticed a dramatic drop in my sales in Fotolia since V2 came up.

Crestock and StockXpert are performing much better than BigStock and fotolia for me.
And I always made more sales with 123 than Ft and BigStock.

Are they better positioned in searches or its just for more comission?

Alamy.com / Re: What about sales and accepting in Alamay?
« on: April 11, 2008, 18:32 »
If you look in the Alamy forums for threads about their zero tolerance policy (that's what they call this thing of dumping a whole batch if any don't pass) you'll see a lot of complaints about it.
That probably changed. In my last batch of 10, 8 were accepted and 2 rejected (size problem).

Size rejectioins are not a reason to reject all the batch. Only quality problems count. (I think)

Alamy.com / What about sales and accepting in Alamay?
« on: April 11, 2008, 10:42 »
I recently started to upload to Alamy.
Are you selling well here?
I am surprised about acceptance ratio they are accepting almost everything I upload. (batches of 2 because of their policy)
