Off Topic / Re: Nasty Personal Email- Send Unknown

Simple fix is to report them to the proper authorities.

In the States any form of harassment or threat that is delivered electronically is in serious deep chit!!!!!!!

Quote
Transmitting threatening messages via e-mail is a federal crime in the United States and carries a penalty of imprisonment of up to five years or a fine, or both.

Quote
18 U.S.C. 875(c) states: "Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any    communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any  threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this  title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

seriously! could you have a little respect for what's going on right now? I've got a small port, I'm nobody, and I am outraged. you are being all smiley and cheerful whilst others are deleting their ports and along with it, their livelihoods. we won't make a difference if we don't band together. people like you are the prime reason for why unions (something I detest) are compulsory. I'm sorry, but I can't understand how you can be so insensitive to post this - IN TWO THREADS - at a time like this.
Absolutely!

Hi to all!
I would appreciate if you could you give me a critique to my portfolio and to evaluate the sales potential of it. Here below the link:

Thanks in advance  :)
It needs to be linked properly.

Be prepared for mass rejections and hard work submitting to top and middle tier sites . First you'll have to figure out what kind of images they want. It's quite different from Istock and it will take some time but forget landscapes people.... and be prepared for  random rejections.
I still do believe that IS  inspectors are the best unfortunately.....
Good luck everyone :)

I've been submitting to both IS and SS for over 8 years and would strongly disagree with your hypothesis. In my experience they are largely the same except that IS is a bit anal over certain issues (like isolations for example) and SS can be the same about the focal point. Other than that they are pretty much the same. My acceptance rate on IS is 87% and probably about 95% on SS in over 5000 submissions.

Just submitted my first few to SS and I know what you mean - 3 rejected for focus focal point, and they are all crisp as from a 21MP camera with "L" lens... I could begin to get a little annoyed if its the rule rather than the exception... I haven't had rejections from iS for years...
Basically SS wants front to back focus, if the foreground is outside the DOF you might get rejections
Or you just got hit by Attila! ;D

All approved at SS, now I just have to get my portfolio in order and give notice... interesting times!
So did you take the initial 10 test?
Yes I did - it was before that message went out.
Welcome.

SS accepts almost anything in terms of subject. They dont have similars rejects, they dont have aesthetic rejects, they dont have overabundance rejects(well walls and backgrounds maybe), they dont have overfiltered rejects.
I thought it was SS which made rejections for 'lcv' - or is that Ft or Dt?
They are having all kinds of strange rejects being reported on the forums and yes they will even hit you with this

Similar Submissions--Too many of the same subject. Please see Shutterbuzz for more info
even if other then a wall or BG!
I am sorry but the last time I got LCV or similars on SS was 8 months ago. The most rejections reported at SS are copyright, composition, focus and uneven lighting.
Sure but they have also added the similars now!

I have been having FTP and HTTP uploading problems for months!

All they keep telling me is it must be something on my side since it is only happening to me!

Thing is it works fine everywhere else??????

This last one erased my processed files from my HD and I had to re-edit the Originals and start all over.

CanStockPhoto.com / Re: Strange??? Lost image???
« on: January 14, 2013, 15:55 »
there is Unfinished and also before going online they are processed
They were completed, processed and pending review last night and gone this morning!

See you upload then when it is done you edit then you check the box saying you are the copyright holder then you hit SUBMIT then they go to the pending file to wait for review!

Oh but you are right!  And I didn't put them there so CanStockPhoto must have?

his SS portfolio is down again, will see what happens this time...

Still happening!

Had put up 5 last night and this morning there is nothing pending so I check my port and there is nothing there so then I check rejected and there is nothing there either?

So where did they go?

Anyone have any idea?
