just got another refund, 3 subs, just insane, 3 pictures from the exact same subject, same buyer

this is a constant bug on SS, it is the 5th or 6th times photos that were online before, go offline.. server problems etc.. I hope they fix this once for all

have a few pics there but the all site is weird, I hate the fact that we dont know how many sales and which photos, but only a total per month..

Why would nikon release a full frame that dwarfs their own flagship (d3x) in resolution, shooting full HD video and at a better price?

I agree! BUT

I initially did not post this online, but after receiving some additional info I can now confirm with a 99% probability only the name �D800″ and the sensor size of 36MP.

I talk too much :



First was "refunded" one, and after some minutes get first 6 Oct sale... Anyway, is likely this we get when a client change his mind?

the all refund is quite absurd! haven�t got many but have a few in all agencies (beside SS)! the buyer gets the picture and minutes later says no thanks (but the picture in on his hd already)

Did you check the download page (http://www.123rf.com/submit/downloaded_stats.php) for any refunded images?

As i said, on downloads page appears as "downloaded" and positive comission, never have a refunded image.. so how refunded images appear?

a - earning and a red quote telling the reason of the refund

this is absurd, you said here that you had 8 EL�s last month on a day, why on earth are you talking about this now? don�t see a point sorry

Hey man, try to stay focused. How I do and what I do has no bearing On my question and It affects me also. Im just curious. Don't answer. This is not an arguement like just about everything else on this site. This is a simple question or a poll if you will. I get out of this business exactly what I put in.

And my answer to my question would be I wouldn't upload anymore. and since I really don't consider this any more than 10/15% of my Income or what My Nut is every month as to where I live and my expenses. It won't matter that much. And if no one cares or answers this thread will just disappear anyway. As I said....Just curious.

sorry but I dont understand the fact that some (a lot here in this forum) top photographers talk about their income like microstock ain�t helping them but they spend all day on forum talking about a new BME or the current royalties on the different agencies and such.. I love the way you guys say you make only 10% on microstock and do 90% outside, if so why all the "stress"?

ohh gimme a break, I'v been an art director for almost 10 years, with my background I'v never ever seen anything in microstock that even had a hint of surprise or novelty. I was just curious on what is considered the type mentioned by someone like you. Most of the stuff you guys consider revolutionary is generally just a 'rumination' of things we in the ad industry have seen a decade ago countless times... and I also guess the shots are public anyway if they are up for sale : )

you are a curious person, can we know more about you? your posts are "insane", do you do any kind of photography, any stock? I don�t understand where you are heading but sure it does look fun

1080p HD Video at 30 frames with gyro stabilization.
8MP improved camera.   I am guessing it's a good enough device for shooting stock video and photos in bright light.   

really?? I cannot believe but hey lets wait to see it

I finally reached silver today and I hope they won't throw me back into white level.

congrats! you should be at 31% not 25%

no! but I do have them when I upload "borderline" pics (like someone else say here and well) they tend to go somewhere (rejected or approved)

agree on current critiques, apart from that you have done this picture with the sun in your front, you "should" shoot when you got the sun behind, even if it means get earlier or later to make the picture
