iStockPhoto.com / Sold my first at iStockphoto
« on: January 03, 2007, 16:15 »
Yippee. People seem to like this shot. Sold a heap on other sites. Took it at an interesting place in Australia called Barcaldine. Australia has 60 million kangaroos, and I reckon 40 million of them are at Barcaldine.

Dreamstime.com / DT have nearly 40,000 files pending
« on: January 03, 2007, 02:52 »
Had some of mine in the queue for weeks, always 21 hours away.

Going to be slow progress from here methinks. Maybe they are focussing on deleting some of those non sellers?

That would be worth the wait!

Lighting / What do you use for backing?
« on: January 02, 2007, 03:40 »
I have bought cardboard, but it gets crinkly quick. also tried black velvet.

Is there some sort of plastic people use, without going all out and buying the proper photo stuff?

Ok, since you guys are keen to give some advice. Any chance someone could check out my stuff and pick some they reckon I can have a shot with on StockXpert and SS when my lock out ends on January 7 ... I mean they should be nice this time, it will be my birthday after all.

Here is my stuff

And from AUSTRALIA to all of you. Thanks for the information and support.

Cameras / Lenses / Confusion over DPI in new camera purchases
« on: December 27, 2006, 17:21 »
Just a question for you who have become digital masters.

My old Canon 300D transfers photos to Photoshop at 350 dpi.

I have noted that some cameras claiming to be 10 megapixels at RAW only have 180dpi. So surely, this is simply a 5 megapixel camera with interpolated pixels. Am I right.

I may be wrong, but if my camera captures 3072 x 2048 at 350dpi, this means i can double the image size and still have a print quality photo at 175dpi?

Can someone explain this for me ... make it the Idiot's Guide to Pixels please. I ain't real smart.

General Stock Discussion / How long before your images go stale?
« on: December 20, 2006, 22:09 »
Just wondering if you people who have been in the biz long enough, if you have found your stock goes stale after a while?

734
I think it is a great idea to clean the database up and get rid of images more than a year old with no downloads.

It really must be a pain to find stuff.

I noticed Jaimie Duplass has close to 1000 files that have never been downloaded. And most of them are old, just check out the hairstyles.

If you can find that many from one super user, imagine just how much crap there really must be on the system.

735
I spent 2 hours in a book shop the other day and was amazed at how many fiction books use stock images. Less than 10% credit the photographer.

Not sure what the sales are like in your country, but in Australia, a best seller can be lucky to sell 25,000 copies

« on: December 19, 2006, 06:01 »

Took 74 days. Put a post on the site to congrat myself but of course Nikutu closed it because it was the wrong thread.

Photoshop Discussion / need help on noise software
« on: December 11, 2006, 14:37 »
both SS and StockXpert rejections are for noise.

How do things like Noise Ninja work, what is the best/cheapest. I run Photoshop7.

Are they PS add-ins? and, do you leave it until you are ready to save the image?

Dreamstime.com / Re: sales are popping!
« on: December 10, 2006, 05:37 »

Bigstock.com / Re: I joined BigStock now, and other stuff.
« on: December 10, 2006, 05:33 »
thanks. SS rejected me. have to wait a month now. 7/10 refused. i used the top ten sellers i had on the other sites but no luck.

found out BigStock has an upload limit of 20.

CanStockPhoto.com / Re: Sales are happening
« on: December 09, 2006, 20:22 »
I have had 1 x 25 cent sale there.

I sent an enquiry about the upload limit. If it is 15 a day, why isn't it rolling over ... means you have to get to the site every day.15 daily should be 105 per week in my mind.

General Macrostock / Re: Art.com - anyone there?
« on: December 09, 2006, 19:21 »
you have some cool stuff in your portfolio madelaide.

I couldnt find any links on that site for how to submit. I have been going to a few poster sites but no luck yet, guessed they buy the rights of micro stock

Bigstock.com / I joined BigStock now, and other stuff.
« on: December 09, 2006, 06:20 »
I must have read the stuff wrong. I thought it had to be 10mp. It says photo below 10mb. Teach me to take my glasses to work. There did not seem to be an upload limit. I sent 20 today. Will try and load another 200 tomorrow. Wonder how long it takes to review them, and what their reviewers are like?

123rf loads real quick for me, faster than the rest by far. And Fotolia are the quickest reviewers.

Anyway, so next year I am hoping to make it big in Micro. That's if my 300D lasts until I have the cash for an upgrade. Got nearly 10,000 shots on it and it has a few dust spots.

Really only been doing this since October. Joined DT and have 83 sales so far, so I cannot complain.

Just lately I am starting to create stuff worthy of selling, that's my opinion anyways.

Found Leafs stuff. Cannot find any of you other guys on the sites. Have you got your portfolios linked anywhere? Here's mine

General - Top Sites / Newbie, after site suggestions?
« on: December 04, 2006, 03:13 »
Howdy. Been putting stuff on DT since October. Since then have joined 123rf, Fotolia, CanStockPhoto, and Gimme. Been rejected a few times from LO, and currently under review at StockXpert, iStock, SS.

Have so far about 200 worthwhile images and trying to build about another 5-10 a day.

Any suggestions for any other sites?

 confusing it is. In Australia $2500 is written like that, or $2,500.00

I still cannot work out how much the camera is.

Can you tell us in Euros? Whole Euros please, not cents or whatever
