Cameras / Lenses / Re: Flash card storage?
« on: December 09, 2007, 17:27 »
Thanks for all the info everyone!

The one I am interested in is made by Verbatim who have been around for years. Sounds exactly like your Digimate Freezing. Runs on a battery also, along with a ac adapter.

It has 80gb of storage and from what I can see by the photo, you insert the card into it then it transfers everything from you card on to the mini 80gb hard drive. You can then format your card for a fresh go round. When I get back from holiday, I can then transfer everything from it to my computer via usb.

It fits in the palm of your hand, so I think that due to space issues, I will do that. Not sure yet. It runs "buy it now" around $130. - reasonable for 80gb?

Pixart... Your storage viewers sounds great too, may look further into this too!

God, I LOVE the internet! Who would have figured this all out in such a short period of time 20 years ago eh? "with a little help from my friends"

Wow Stokfoto  - sounds great?  So you use your usb cable for your camera and plug it into this thing and transfer? 

I've put a watch on this item to see what it sells for. (they are selling by the vendor for $132. - not bad!)

Thanks very much everyone.

If anyone out there has had experience with this thing, let me know please?

Regards

Cameras / Lenses / Flash card storage?
« on: December 09, 2007, 08:47 »
Hi everyone:

Going on 10 day sail out of Florida in Feb. on a 38 foot boat and need as much storage as I can get utilizing as little space (no laptop). I found this on eBay for under $50 cdn.

It comes with the second item listed below, but I don't understand how a stick can be a card reader/writer?

BRAND NEW Topram 8GB Compact Flash Memory

BRAND NEW CF Type I and Type II (Compact Flash) Card reader/writer.

Does anyone know of any other solutions as I want to continue to shoot raw. My camera is a Nikon D200.

Thanks & regards
Penny

Build it and they will come. 

This is one instance where I hope the other stock sites step in line to follow! All aboard!

Competition is one thing, but charging a fair price for our efforts and equipment is a fabulous move.

Good for them !!!

Corbis SnapVillage Microstock Collection Surpasses 125,000 Images

Snapvillage_corbis Seattle, WA, Nov. 29, 2007. SnapVillage, the innovative microstock website empowered by Corbis, today announced it has uploaded the 125,000th image to its rapidly growing collection. The milestone demonstrates that photographers are quickly embracing SnapVillages easy-to-use website, pick-your-own-price model and the opportunity for their imagery to be upgraded to Corbis.com.

"We are very pleased with the reception that SnapVillage has received since its beta launch in June", said Senior Vice President of Corbis.com & SnapVillage.com, Adam Brotman. "We have exceeded our initial expectations of the number of images we have received to date a great achievement given the website remains in beta."

SnapVillage is now receiving more than 10,000 images each week in categories ranging from landscapes and interiors to people and food and drink.

Our rapid inventory growth and the wide variety of high-quality, fresh and visually attractive content that is available on the site shows that photographers are taking full advantage of SnapVillages flexible pick-your-own-price model, said Brotman.

"We are finding that photographers are uploading content to our site that they are not giving other microstock sites because SnapVillage offers a wider range of pricing options and allows them to pick their own price. As SnapVillage continues to grow and gain momentum, we hope to see even greater numbers of photographers embrace it."

Todays announcement demonstrates the continuing momentum of SnapVillage, including adding support for IPTC and XMP metadata extraction, improved watermarking technology, search improvements and an improved and streamlined registration process.

In addition, the site plans to introduce a bulk upload feature within the next few months.

SnapVillage has no membership fees, accepts submissions from photographers virtually anywhere in the world and offers image licensing in the United States. While in beta, SnapVillage continues its commitment to actively listen and incorporate customer feedback while accelerating enhancements to the website.

I was with StockXpert from the beginning and it took months and months for them to get sales going.  Hence, Beta. Look at them now!

Patience people.

Would you invite guests over for dinner if the pantry was still empty.

They just announced that they had 125,000 photos online. How are they going to get there if everyone stops uploading.

This is a good chance to get your portfolio loaded - (think about rejections at the big five...
sorry but we have enough photos in that category)

I had that happen and was hesitant, but thought well... I'll try once and see what happens.  I uploaded my raw file and the buyer downloaded it as a subscription sale and I got 30 cents!  What a rip. Won't do that again.

I believe they only want the raw format, not an untouched jpg. If you took the original in jpg and not raw, your out of luck anyway, I believe.

I understand the logic behind your explanation Sharply, and agree that is probably the reason, but that kinda sucks for us.

If someone purchases more credits for less money, that probably won't affect me much as they will use those credits all over iStock, not all on my portfolio. That sounds like a "Win - Win" for iStock and the client.

I guess on the grand scale of things, it induces purchasing. I like the volume at iStock.

Thanks.

to the prices of things because I don't understand. 

On iS, since October 16, I've had 13 downloads on this one file, 7 of which have been size Medium (4 credits) - yet when I click on the Royalties for this picture it show "medium" with the price credited to me of $1.00, $0.88, $0.92, $0.84, $1.04, etc etc - all Medium, different price, none of them are old license?

Are they cheaper if downloaded in the morning or am I missing something?  Doh!

WOW... congrats everyone on the ELs.

I've only had one significant one that sold for $100. (gross) for an extended print run.

http://www.stockxpert.com/browse.phtml?f=view&id=281762

If anyone sees it anywhere, let me know please?

I'm happy when fellow photogs post that they get ELs, makes one feel like its all worth it and something to aspire to.

(ok, so how do you insert a picture here... senior moment, can't figure it out.  Can anyone explain in laymans terms?)

We buy iStock at work to use and they always charged US dollars even though we are at a Canadian IP address?

« on: November 06, 2007, 11:12 »
I've had around 100 views, but no takers yet. I think those views are probably fellow contributors? checking out images.

There is usually no advertising done in Beta stage, while they populate the site. Things were slow at StockXpert when they first started out but they are flying off the shelves now.

I think Steve-O is on holiday? (did I read that from an earlier post?)

Hence the "no reply"?

He has earned the break... he is very attentive, jmho.
