And you're lucky if the keywords are all spelled correctly. I have stopped to use PicWorkflow because I had to check all the keywords again for correct spelling. For me as a non-native speaker makes  the whole service no sense if you can not rely on it. Although I usually like PWF very much.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Submit in German?
« on: October 06, 2014, 05:16 »
German is NOT an international language  ;D ;D

The most widely spoken language in Europe, and there are many German-speaking inhabitants everywhere in the world. And - English is actually nothing more than bad German, isn't it?  8) 8)

Something must be wrong with MP. It's even impossible to write comments.

If any EL-sale will be reported here, we would need an extra discussion group. Nevertheless, congratulations, I hope, you get such sales frequently in future. Then these sales will be nothing special anymore for you 8)

Sorry for the declined Ariene, you're a good photographer!
Totally agree, it's a great pleasure to visit your portfolio!

Nothing changed in my case. Have my stats there without any clicks as usual.

It is only a question of time until DT falls back on the polling list. I see DT not longer as one of the BIG 4.

They say beautiful has a rating of 0.005 (good keywords are beginning at 20.0). However beauti has an incredible rating of 116.922 (probably because no one uses it but foreign people mistype often) and ful has a rating of 42.8 :D

@einstein: beautiful, of course, was just an example, it could be any other w,ord 8) Have a nice sunday!

My friend from the CERN in Geneva tells me that the right number is 17.54698

Hmm, maybe I should delete the last letters of each title? Or write it this way: beauti, ful?  8) 8) ;) ;)

238
I would guess (without any investigation), the right number is 7 - isn't it?  8)

Does it matter? If agencies started accepting photos from smartphones any camera from last decade should be good enough.

Good point!

I will continue with Nikon, because the advanced lightning system is incredible good (use SB 800 and SB 910 flash lights). And I still can use lenses from my very first nikon days, that's a great advantage.

Pursue a Doctoral Degree with a thesis of 47 pages? The term papers by students in my institute had rarely less than 80 to 100 pages of text plus bibliography, figures, tables, etc. But maybe that's a typical German thing 8) 8)

Yaymicro / Re: Celebrating second sale on Yay!
« on: September 15, 2014, 07:55 »
After having one sale on Yay over the course of the last two years, I was shocked to see my second sale there today.

Now that my faith in Yay's sales potential has been restored, I'm wondering how do I go about leaving the fortunes from my payout to my great grandchildren?
Let me guess - approximately 2018 or 2019 you will have your third sale! Good luck! 8) 8) 8)

... - what about now? Might be easier to sing at Carnegie Hall!
It is never too late to open a pizzeria. And it's never too late to go into microstock. It depends on your images. Just try it!

I have over $110 in the account(set up to pay out at 75(unless that number is ignored?), and it is set up correctly. I waited 6 weeks for the next payout time and it never went in so I faxed them a physical request for payment with signature about 10 days ago.

I figure I'll quit contributing and if it gets to a higher amount I'll have an attorney threaten them or something if it EVER gets to a remotely reasonable amount. *But I will send letters into the IRS if they keep sending me Tax papers and not paying me!
That should cost much more than the $ 110 that you have on your Shutterstock account. And more than the time that you need to fill out a tax form  ;D
Shutterstock pays quickly and reliably! Always!

Image Sleuth / Re: User "dzein" stealing my vectors
« on: August 30, 2014, 15:50 »
Hi everyone,
I find that a user with the nickname "dzein" on Fotolia, sells "his" vectors with objects from my illustrations, and maybe of others.

Seems to be removed now, couldn't find any of the pictures you linked to.

By the way, I wonder if restrictions for editorial use are compatible with the freedom of the press

Dear stock agencies,
You may not realize it yet, but there has been a seismic shift in the stock industry in the last six months or so. FL's DPC has been a road to Damascus moment for many of us.

I would say, the agencies did realize the changes faster than most contributors 8)

Photo Critique / Re: Are these photos good enough?
« on: August 16, 2014, 16:05 »
Come on guys. I just want an opinion on your thoughts about the images. :-\
Just my two cents - actually you don't have exactly found a niche. There are uncountable pictures of flowers, many of them are good. Look at the pictures in the agencies and judge for yourself.
