General - Top Sites / Re: December Sales Flat?
« on: December 11, 2007, 07:48 »
So far is ok. IS is picking up from a poor November for me, but still no EL sales since October.  ::)

For what it's worth, I have a few pictures that were taken in jpeg (highest quality, superfine, no in-camera sharpening), upsized, and approved.

Cheers.

Cameras / Lenses / Re: 1000 = What camera to buy?
« on: December 04, 2007, 08:44 »
I believe Canon & Nikon are about the same, can't comment much about olympus.

Go to a shop, hold the camera (with a lens mounted) in your hands, if it feels right, it's good. For about the same price, I think they're about the same.

I have a 400D  8) used to have a 10D.

Off Topic / Re: Can you recommend a printer for prints on Canvas
« on: December 04, 2007, 08:35 »
You can try www.finerworks.com Haven't used them myself, but I've seen their canvas prints at a friend's home, he says they're quite good.

From their web site, it appears they also do custom sizes.

cheers,

So u have seen it at a friend's home....what do u think of it yourself? Is it any good? Its not cheap to ship in from USA to Asia....exchange rate, weight etc...

I think he paid using paypal, using his microstock earnings  ;D, and probably shipped via vpost. Also, his was framed locally.

As for quality, I'm not familiar enough with canvas printing, so have no way of judging the print standards, but it looked pretty ok, from my inexperienced point of view.

And they do drop shipping too.  ;)

cheers.

I can't remember why, but on Filezilla, I go in reverse alphabetical order, so StockXpert & SS gets uploaded first ;)

Now maybe if I join Zymm...

General Stock Discussion / Re: POLL: November Earnings
« on: December 01, 2007, 13:13 »
Could have been my BME, if it weren't for the disappointing drop (down 50%!!) in earnings from IS...   :'(

Consecutive BME for two months for 123RF
Same for me, but still just about 4% of my total.

Regards,
Adelaide

It's about 6% of my total in Nov.

I think it's CTR for 'Click Through Rate'

« on: November 28, 2007, 07:34 »
This month saw a drop by about 50% from my Oct sales, looks to be one of my worst month in quite a while  :(

All the more reason I should keep submitting to a few agencies with my small portfolio.  :P

Hope the situation improves for everyone.

« on: November 24, 2007, 12:26 »
If this is official, then surely SS can detect those words during the submission phase and request that they be removed, after all they are able to remove duplicates/redundant words, and words with incorrect spelling.  ???

So happens I just submitted a batch with those as one of the keywords. Like leaf, I use them once in a while.

no problems here. I get more problems accessing IS & DT .  :-\

« on: November 08, 2007, 12:51 »
DT has recently been 'start-stoppish' for me, and sales has slowed quite significantly. Though this month looks to be improving a bit, just a bit, and it may stop moving again for a few days.  ::)

I don't agree. There's a definite resemblance. ;)



That's him on the right, in the somewhat obscured StockXpert t-shirt. (sorry to blow your cover Steve!)


Did you get a model release for that image  ;D


And remove the logo on the shirt, then resubmit.  :P

LuckyOliver.com / Re: Have your LO sales ground to a halt?
« on: October 14, 2007, 11:03 »
Had my first LO extended license sale recently, other than that, sales are pretty slow, but then, I've got less than 200 images there. A little slow to join in, not much time to contribute to so many sites.

Thankfully, LO's submission process is relatively painless.
