hi, its me again... ...any suggestions?  I read some websites about this issue, but there are different opinions. some people claim that you need a property-releast if your image focus on a private building. In my case (the power plant) the main subject is the private owned plant. so I would need a property release. other websites claim, that you need no property release, if you shot the image from a public area. from this point of view I would not need a property release...  so, I am interestet in you opinion :-)

for me: SS, StockXpert, FT, DT, ZYM and 123.
yes... for me even ZYM is better then 123.
I also noticed an increase on DT.

Hi,  I have la little questionen today :-) when exactly do I need a property relesase? in the past I avoided to make stockphotos of buildings because I was not sure about some legal issues. I have some nice images of the local power plant. do I need a property-release for such a picture? I tooked the image from a public street. I just checked some stock agencies... there are lots images of industry facilities. do they all have a property release thanks a lot

Hi, I just checked some stock-agencies for pictures containing bicycles. I wonder that you can see on many of these images brand names (like Scott, Kona, Giant...). Even at the parts of the bike (Fork, shifters, breaks...) you can see band names. whats your opinion? is this legal? what is the worst thing which could happen to the submitter of such an image? any other thoughts? thanks a lot... gunnar

Hi, I read severeal times that the first seven keywords at fotolia are more important. But I just tryed to search my images with keywords from the end of the keywordlist of these images. I found my images even with VERY good results. so my question is: is it true that the first seven keywords are more importent? do you order the more important keywords to the top of the keywordlist at FT? I just viewed some keywordlists at FT, and usually the words are in alphabetical order. does fotolia order the words alphabetical? or is this a result of the keywordingsoftware you use? me for example... is use iTag for keywording... and iTag made automatical an alphabetical order the keywords. I never change this... so at FT (and other sites) simply the words starting with "a..." or "b..." are at the top of the keyword list. oh, sorry for the spelling mistakes even in the titel....

Yesterday I got an rejection based on bad keywording too. It was a Picture of a 50 euro banknote which I folded to a ship (isolation). IS rejected the image because of the keywords
1. ship
2. euro (European Currency)
3. globalisation
I am new at IS, it was my first bunch.

you are right, there are no earnings at Canstock, but its easy to upload to CS. So I continue to upload... I see it as a kind of investment... may be CS will grow in the future.
hm, by the way... do you think earnings at CS will rise or fall duringe the nex 12 months?

Hi,
I have some little question about the "lifecycle" of a stockimage today.
1. what do you think is the total earning of an average stockimage during its life?
2. how does the monthly earning of an average stockimage change during its life?
3. How long can a stockphotographer expackt significant earnings from an average photos`?
4. Do you have any other thoughts about the lifecycle of an image?
thank a lot, I am curious about your thoughts.....

hi,
I have just a short question: do you categorise your images at stockxpert? is this necessary? do you think that categorising is important?
Until now I categorised my images, but its a lot of work and I am not sure about the benefit of doing this.

hi, I do stockphotography for about 2 months and until now I tryed different types of images. I think that I am relatively good in isolating simple objects on a white background. So I think about to focus my photographic work to isolations. my questions now: 1. do you think that these kind of pictures sell well? is the RPI of such pictures higher or lower compared to the average RPI??? whats your oppinion? 2. have you made an experiance that isolated objects sell relatively better on some sites? 3. do you think that it is an good idea to focus in one niche? 4. any other suggestions? would be great of you let me now your thoughts... thanks a lot (and sorry for my bad english )

Hi,
I am with 5 of the big 6 now, but SS is missing. When I register on SS I have to verify my ID. So I uploaded my (german) identity card AND my driving licence (I am from germany). But they rejected my ID with following reason:
"Please upload a passport which is valid for international travel. We only accept international passports. We do not accept national identity cards."
So my question is: what exactly do I need to verify my ID? I am not sure about this.
would be great if somebody tells me what I should do. thank you a lot.
(and sorry for my bad english, I should improve it ;-) )
