Nice shots, especially the two last ones! :)

902
I just read that a 2X Teleconverter is supplied with the lens, that makes 400-1000mm, how nice and even more on a lot of digital cameras like on the D20 because of the crop factor.
But I guess you cannot be on your own anymore. You need a team i guess. At least two people to carry the lense and the massive tripod which is required  ;D

Adobe Stock / Re: Totally crashing on Fotolia
« on: March 07, 2007, 15:11 »
Since February I am having the hardest time with Fotolia.  I used to sell there steadily if not spectacularly a couple or three pics a day making my way up to just under 200 pics sold and then - nothing.  A week can go by without a sale.  Then they trickle in for a few days, onesies and twosies if I am lucky and then nothing again.
Anybody else sharing that experience?  What is going on?  I haven't been uploading much recently because I a) don't have that much new stuff right now and b) I am a bit disenchanted - but that shouldn't impact sales, right? -  ??? and  :'(

Thanks for your input,

Tina
I experienced the exact same thing.. 3,4 month ago.
Now the earnings increased a little bit, but in no comparison to the other sites.
Fotolia is falling far behind the other agencies.
no 5 of the big 6.

Yeah, they give you money, just for acceptance. I submitted 5 and one of it was accepted. But that was also the best I would say.
Sale price is the same. Ok I will let you know..

123RF / Re: What's wrong with 123rf?
« on: March 02, 2007, 14:04 »
Well it's officially 23 days for me now.... have 27 pix in review since Feb 6th.   Hey, maybe I'll break the record!!  :)  If I can't get published on 123rf,  maybe I can get published in Guinness Book of World Records!  Yeah!!    8) -tom

p.s.  Does anyone think I'm considering uploading any more pix there? :P

Sorry, if you want to break the record, you have to beat me! And that will take months!
I have 5 images pending from sometimes in September last year  ;D

909
Well I agree, what about the new Images, but if the overall sales have increased 30% I do not mind the change. For me it is good. I think I am one of the people who benefited from this. The earnigs have gone up for me about 30%.  The thing I do not like at SS is, that you constantly have to upload images.

« on: March 01, 2007, 04:55 »
Here are mine:

IS 30% increased 25 cents :) ~ 0,2 %
SS 30% decreased ~ 18%
DT 18% increased ~ 30%
StockXpert 11,3% increased ~30%
FT 10,7 %  increased ~ 30%

Lets not forget, Febuary had 3 less days than January..

General Stock Discussion / Re: German microstock site
« on: February 27, 2007, 14:37 »
Hi Tina,
I am on two German sites. Panthermedia.net and Pitopia.

On Panthermedia I have an average earning of 20 a month. That is about half the money I earned this month at StockXpert. I have 100 images online at Panthermedia.net.
I just started at Pitopia, so I do not know how Pitopia goes, no dl so far..
Also weiss ich nicht wieviel dir das bringt :)

913
Yeah, me, too, am just waiting for that they will review my application, although I do not know which adress makes it acceptable and which not  :)

That is the great secret ;)

You have to send your proposal to transferred, she chooses them. But I think she changed her name. I believe you have to send it now to GoGo.

915
Hi Snem,

why don't you contact the newspaper. Maybe they did it on accident and are not aware of the limits of the license. I know the world is full of cheaters, but once in  while you might meet someone who is honest or repents when convicted :)

General - Top Sites / Re: Whats the best stockphoto site if...
« on: February 22, 2007, 07:02 »
1. The best if you upload regularly is Shutterstock
2. The best if you don't upload regulary is Istockphoto

Thats my experience and opinion :)

Software - General / Re: Keywords
« on: February 19, 2007, 12:52 »
There is a really nice tool at google.

If you have a specific object like, lets say rocket, type in in the google search engine: " define: rocket"
You get all kinds of definition of rocket. through the definitions you can pick up keywords which describe the object.

Dreamstime.com / Re: DT Percentage of Acceptance
« on: February 09, 2007, 10:30 »
58,3 % but lately it got worse.. Certainly also my fault. Since the implemented that feature which allows you to choose that other people will keyword your image for 20c I have been a bit careless about quality. Either they take it or not. I do not have a lot of work with the images. I just have to upload them. If they reject them, I get my 20c back and just have wasted 15sec for the upload.

922
What about this :)

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.panthermedia.net%2F%3Faff%3D2047&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8

(Includes the referral link of Xenia)

 Panthermedia in English, didn't know that was that easy :)

Here is the google link to translate websites:

http://translate.google.com/translate_t

You probably can do this via the the googletoolbar, I have the German version, so it all translates from other languages to German. So probably the English version translates from other languages in English.

So if you would use Xenia's or mine Referral link for Panthermedia, that would be nice :)

If you register I would recommend you to register as "Salesman" or "FC-Standard" thats for free.

For Keywords as I mentioned somewhere else, you can get them translated on SS or IS, there is an option to switch to another language.

If you have any further questions..

Happy uploading  ;)

923
Thankyou Xenia, that indeed was very informative. If I have time, I think I will look into some of those agencies..

Microstock News / Re: The countdown to 1,000,000
« on: February 08, 2007, 08:42 »
well i actually think the chances are pretty good :)  relatively speaking

They currently have almost 17,000 files in the cue.  It seems they go through the cue in the order they were submitted.

They currently have 960,757 images online, but have had around 1,875,782 submitted which means they accept about 1 out of every 2 images submitted.  That means if you submit an image today and get it accepted it will probably be around image #969,000

I think one could get within 1000 of 1,000,000 pretty easily.  So that means your chances are 1/1000

If you had a full cue to upload (100 images) you might bring your winning chances down to 1/100 if you were lucky :)

Be skeptical if you want but look who'll be laughing when i walk away with the prize :) :) :)



Anyways, I think it would be cool if someone from here won.  I will post a new thread when i think it is the optimum time to submit so we all can send in our images.

Well, if you will get the price, I will certainly laugh too :)

925
in Germany we have have very good agencies where your pictures are now presend... sorry my english is not good.. i always be angry when istock or shutterstock dont wont my images.. because they sell them for 25 uscent.. that in euros only 17 cent i think.. i stop uploading there.. shutterstock i realy like.. fotolia also!

My problem is.. i load to german agencies like:

http://www.panthermedia.net/?aff=2047

adpic, digitalstock, mm-images and a lot more.. and i have nothing against stockagencies.. but i realy like the way they treat me! Fotolia dont do it... there i earn monthly 200 euros.. but at dreamtimes, shutter and istock i habe problems with model-release. My contracts are in germany and in germany you dont need widnesses... i cant put on my model 20 different releases bevor we shot!

I would realy want that you go to

panther, digitalstock, shotshop, and other german angencies.. perhaps there sole only 2 images a month for you.. but it brings also 50 euro and sorry thats better than sell 100 images for nossing...

thats my personal mind


@ Xenia,

Welche von denen bringen am meisten Einkommen? Sind da irgendwelche, die besser laufen als Panthermedia? Ich bin bei PM, aber ich kenne die anderen nicht.

Which one of those bring in the most earnings? Are there any which are better than Panthermedia? I do do not know any other German agencies than PM.
