Dreamstime.com / Dreamstime is going MICRO MICRO MICRO
« on: June 14, 2011, 16:07 »
I am getting quite upset with Dreamstime, they want 100 pics on the same picture.. this aint good for stock and even worst for us contributors.. this is just NUTS

my latest work on spices is just incredible, imagine you have a picture from ABOVE and other front view.. they wont took both.. they want both on the same pic.. this is just NUTS

I dont know how much I will give to them when they dont care about nice pictures.. but only nice pictures to sell at 35cents and worst keep on rejecting due to similar when they arent and WORST approving crappy pictures from newbiews..

where is Dreamstime going??.. THANKS GOD they are the only one doing this... sorry but I am quite pissed and seem that support doesnt help, only repeats to do COLLAGE!!!

« on: May 28, 2011, 19:18 »
have nothing against IS (just the cut) I am having pretty good approvals there and I actually appreciate them and find them quite fair, and I do resubmit pictures every time and they are approved but this one is incredible, first time I disagree gotta say, the issue is "text on rivet"

I pay a 6 pack of beer to the person who can tell me the brand of this trousers! :P

p.s: got no Yuri monopod sorry

Shutterstock.com / megapixel size limit??
« on: May 18, 2011, 08:57 »
I made a big picture (sort of panoramic) I have a few already there with like 50 megapixels but this one is 90 megapixels but got the following rejection:
"There's a 25 megapixel size limit, please downsize image to less than 5000x5000 pixels."

days before got a 35 megapixel approved.. where is this written? this limit? Yuri is downsizing in hassel pics?

Off Topic / where is the $ heading??
« on: April 29, 2011, 08:22 »
I am becoming quite worried about the $ conversion, $ everyday drops a little, are USA going down?

honestly I dont know nothing regarding value of the $ and exactly how it goes up or down.. but Europe is quite down, it was Greece than Ireland than Portugal, perhaps Spain soon..

is the $ going down and even more than the EUR?

Nikon / nikkor lens advice
« on: April 06, 2011, 10:50 »
Hi, I mainly use the 50mm 1.8 but I am lately doing a few full lenght shoots and without many space I cannot go back or I would fall from 2nd floor :P

I have a cheap sigma 18-200 that I have used many time but a few months ago I left it behind once the 50mm is crazy sharp and I am in love with it, I use it to everything but without space and sometimes shooting outdoor it is quite difficult to take a picture without stepping back and back!

Mainly, I want to buy a 18 (maybe 24) with some zoom range, after looking a few I can only see a few, the 24-70, the 24-120 or the 18-200.. After a few time reviewing these lens I found that the more sharp would be the 24-70 (but the price is insane..).. so I am thinking of the 24-120 but on "http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=638&Camera=614&Sample=1&FLI=0&API=6&LensComp=733&CameraComp=614&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=4" I found that it is far from the 50mm sharpness and overall quality, I guess from my cheap sigma it would rock out for sure but far from the 50mm prime..

I would love to have a lens to do some full lenght and also to outdoor so I would need some zoom range too.. What can you advice? Other lens? What would fit best my needs?

CanStockPhoto.com / rejection (good one)
« on: January 10, 2011, 13:29 »
just to let you know my latest rejection on CanStockPhoto, honestly they are approving almost everything but this late rejection is RIDICULOUS!

the picture are some woman boots, I have added the following keywords:

buckspin, leather, boots, high, woman, heel, isolated, white, brown, background, leather, fashion, footwear, pair, female, winter, elegance, style, casual, two, object, fashionable,luxury, modern, women, warm, stylish, gorgeous, studio, new

if you take a lot at most photos related contributors have absurd keywords (that I wont refer here), I just add keywords that I think it is proper but the answer from CanStockPhoto was that I have the following unproper keywords:

woman, background, female, winter, elegance, casual, one, object, modern, gorgeous, studio, new, close-up

the most ridiculous is WOMAN or FEMALE!.. (the reply from CanStockPhoto tell me that buyer will get there also)

what about a review of the all collection??
