maybe this question is for yuri or for them?

but it's ME who is curious

#jealous   

I wonder if when clip art started to change (and be called "vectors", and "font" became "typeface") if the illustrators said "that new stuff will never catch on, it's not quirky and cute enough".

AFAIK all your DX lenses will fit, but you will be shooting in cropped mode. but isn't that like putting cheap sneakers on an athlete?

I would not know what and how to shoot to make pictures like that.

I would cos I shoot editorial for a magazine and that's how they like it, and up til now I've had less success getting that work across as stock with the usuals. oh, now I'm dying to be accepted!

there's clearly no camera list, as the first image I clicked on was taken with a D90.

One proposal that would make the issue less important:
If SS would assign image IDs (which I believe is the key for the "newest" sort order) after acceptance and not after upload, a longer review time would not lead to a disadvantage in search order...

Essentially the "newest" search should sort after time accepted, not time uploaded.

Excellent

ah, that also explains what you mean by being disadvantaged in the "newness" race. I wasn't quite understanding the problem but now I get it, anything I upload today is marked as 25March, so if it takes 2 weeks to review it's already "old" by the time it goes live? Is that really how it works at SS?

I've not noticed any real delay, @ two days, might be at 3 for my last batch. having a great month, I'm happy.

Thats great for you, but really shocking to find out. Monday I will be on 17 days, as are many others. You have a review in 3 days. If this is general practice then my images will go live somewhere on page wherever, without any chance of every become best sellers. I know its subject related, but these different review times are not fair.

subject related?

17 days?! ouchie.

well I've posted a reply at iS, but honestly I'm feeling like anyone who dares to complain will be discriminated against in terms of sales, search and file acceptance.

this topic has been covered, but it's certainly interesting. I saw a stock pic the other day of a Land Rover Defender on the beach, which is a very distinctive vehicle. Even if you take off the badging it's pretty obvious what it is. i had refrained from posting similar pics - we also have a Defender - for fear of the "trademark" rejection.

You need to do more research Brian.

That is sounding really fringe. Your body doesn't look at the ingredients you ingest and file it into different locations.

uh, i'm no scientist but I am a woman and I'm pretty sure eostrogen gets stored in certain locations (like in our tummy and bum fat cells, which is what makes some of us so delightfully curvy)

when my mum went through menopause she bored me to death educated me with her research on eostrogen rich foods to try to combat the sudden losses.

I thought the concept of "low GI" also supports the notion that your body does indeed look at the ingredients you ingest and deals with it in a particular manner.

There was a pretty controversial book published here a few years ago called Sweet Poison (written by a lawyer of all people) that has jumped on the "sugar is evil" bandwagon. Just adding that into the pile of references.

Really, more of a part-time thing, but it is my only "job".  My husband and I are retired and we travel the country with a 27ft RV.  We don't depend on micro to pay any bills, but it sure is nice having that money magically appear in my personal paypal online shopping account every month.  Especially for something I'd be doing anyway (photographing America).

We have things in common.  Wife and I travel a lot but not full-time.
And we are retired, supplementing the income with Stock ... and an Occasional assignment -- Motocross or Supercross Races.

hopefully that'll be me in 15 years, and my port should be large enough to pay for fuel and holiday snacks? 

I'm a freelance photographer and I usually consider I only work part-time hours, as I have 3 children to juggle also. I do stock in the down times. I don't want to do it full-time, I like my client work more.

 

well if your nation has no tax treaty then yes, that's the reality.
