I'm still not having any success uploading this particular image.

If it's just one image that's causing troubles and others are uploading well, the image is probably to blame. Try re-exporting it. Also, check the filename, I couldn't upload images that had special characters in the file names.

If possible at all, pull over. I wouldn't go as far as to pretend a heart attack, though.

In any case, don't drive & shoot! get someone else to drive while you're shooting. High ISO, good car suspension and VR lens should help a lot.

This topic is too hot a potato, but I have my say anyway.

I hate poverty and misery photography.

I hate it when photographers think it is cool and artsy to go to miserable places or undeveloped countries and shoot people who look ill, ugly, poor, old and miserable.

This stupid trend his so OLD and dated. Move on and shoot something NEW and MODERN!

It's because it's easier to shoot down than it is to shoot up. There's less friction in the image making transaction when the power lies with the photographer, through wealth, skin colour, privilege. I'm guilty of this myself, so I try to shoot sideways at least some of the time. These pictures do serve an important purpose once they're in public though - many people simply do not realise what life is like for the majority of people. In the long term lives are improved by the sharing of these images because people will demand change.

This. Shooting poor and struggling places can actually have a positive impact by bringing attention to the problem that would be otherwise unknown. Just think of the little shepherd boy, whose goat got hit by a car. After the photo was published in Nat Geo, people started sending money and the family got couple new animals. Photography is a medium, a tool, and can be used well, or badly.

Is anyone actually shooting for Airbnb and finding it a well-paying gig? Or do they pay with vacation vouchers mostly? :-)

19 year old me would vote for the x-ray function.
Based on what I see daily, I'm glad that people are covered up (99% of them anyways)

Couldn't agree more! Unless the automatic filter based on your preferences would be included too.

Hi guys, I've published an online course recently where I help photographers start their microstock journey. All topics from shooting, editing, etc up to receiving the earnings are covered. The course is a success, the feedback is great and the students are getting their sales.

I'm looking to create a new course, on licensing illustrations. I, however, am not very skilled or experienced with submitting vectors and don't know all the peculiarities involved. Therefore, I'm looking for an illustrator who could record the vector-specific lessons with great care and enthusiasm. I'd record the other, more generic lessons. Off course, we'd share the income.

Send me a message or comment here if you're interested and let me know what you're bringing to the table. I'm bringing proven concept that generates (semi)passive income, great reviews attached to my name and hundreds of satisfied students.

To give you an idea, this is the course on licensing photographs: www.udemy.com/license-your-photos-online/?couponCode=MCSTGR

Odd it is, at least to me. And what is the concept of this thing actually? Do I upload just photos, or business card templates including the text?

This is what I got into my e-mail, what do you think of it? Site itself doesn't look very convincing...
