General Stock Discussion / Re: Reducing stock library

« on: December 06, 2007, 23:28 »

i think it is for the stock agencies to tweak their system so that search function is well-performed. With that, it really does not matter how much photos the agencies have

With a robust system....anything is possible

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,
ShApISO

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...

horay to the rise of Microstock

Actually i think photos were way overpriced in teh past and that microstock is here to stay. Although prices were low at the beginning...i believe in the years to come, prices will rise but not to the traditional stock level...

Hah! I was bored and wanted to test my luck. So i just randomly placed the 4 camera things, and I got 1! 2 free credits. I have no idea what to do with these now hmm. I could buy one of my own images, do I risk getting in trouble though?

Hi i tried what u said and finally found 2 and got 3 credits....yippeee!!! but i think they are really well hidden...kudos to those who found all of it. You should be an InspecTor with istock!!!!!

General Stock Discussion / Re: Is there any money to be made?

« on: November 28, 2007, 23:24 »

its good to pay for your hobby...buying a Canon 400D or more should be sufficient....but to do as a job.....u need to be really really good and but a cut above the rest....they are many professionals who make it and many articles on this....

You can go to my website (all about Microstock in the link below) to look at some of the articles under the "Stock Photos elearning"...
