Newbie Discussion / Alamy, new contributer silly question...

« on: October 20, 2015, 00:30 »

So... I contributed an image to alamy...
I had a play with it in Lightroom afterwards and made a high key version....
Then made it black and white....
I submitted the edited images also...
Then realised I shouldn't have if I want the image to have an RM license?
So I guess I should choose one of the three and delete the other two?
Thanks in advance, I think I know the answer I just want to know what others do in this situation..

Newbie Discussion / Alamy $2 sale

« on: October 19, 2015, 14:18 »

So... microstock is my hobby really... as soon as my little one goes to preschool I am going to learn how to take photos properly, do courses and a degree etc, but right now, I am to be honest enjoying winging it..
so imagine my delight when I passed alamy quality contro!l
yay!
I imagined my first alamy sale, popping a bottle of champagne to celebrate one day in the far distant future..
then today, only a few months after submitting my images I noticed on my account page I had got a sale...
for $2..
don't get me wrong I am chuffed to bits, I really am, but it wasn't the moment I was waiting for...
I know I am amatur and perhaps don't deserve to be on alamy at all at this stage... but...
I thought alamy sold pics for more money?
have I missed something?

Newbie Discussion / Shutterstock

« on: July 16, 2015, 06:23 »

After browsing around the forum, it is clear that Shutterstock is a must have...
I am currently on alamy, dreams time and fotolia..
My images are not great, but I am hoping to improve as time goes by..
Does anyone have tips on gaining Shutterstock acceptance?
