iStockPhoto.com / Re: Istock balance
« on: March 09, 2015, 07:18 »
you'll have to mantain patience until the half of the month after to see actually how much you have earned the previous month

example

February: you need to wait until 15/20 march to see all incomes of february

i never had strange rejections...

i've just got a batch of some 3d printing machine rejected because of color/light/white balance: these pictures were actually really manipulated in color correction by be so it was not a surprise the rejections, i just tried it, because i thought that if these images would have passed the review they were more "sellable" as the final result is not common and "cool"...but it was rejected, so i've corrected white balance and now they're on my port.

the only not positive thing is that my sales are stable while but i'm uploading much more...but this is just due to a massive uploading from thousand contributors

I know this will make some people cross - but I wouldn't advise making any business decisions based on what anyone (myself included) says in a forum.....Unless you can establish a consensus backed up by hard data from a diverse range of contributors.

I see that we are becoming more and more people that we complain about the current situation, regardless of the quality or size of our portfolio.
I do not know how this thinks can help us, may be just to see that we are quite many who suffer from the same problems. My guess is this cries will not help us, but even to become increasingly more upset and frustrated.
Why do not try to come up with solutions / ideas, regardless of their nature? I find that we will have much more to gain!

hi Sebalos...this is a good point, and sometime ago i've said the same :)

but in this forum complaining and pessimism is the only welcome thing...in addition one "self proclaimed top photographer" answered (to an intelligent post like your) that he was not going to share his super good revolutionary ideas with his competitors (aka us)  ;D

so don't expect any good answer because the forum is just a whining wall....

i don't know about illustration but about pictures this is my experience:

crappy studio isolation = 98% acceptance rate
studio composition   =  60% acceptance rate
outdoors and landscape = 10% acceptance rate

[EDIT] Just to add some link to some greenish pastry : http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-246725053/stock-photo-fresh-artisan-sourdough-olive-bread-on-the-table.html?src=-_6k8tYpZfIefSpkYd9ExQ-5-85&ws=1
Who needs that kind of photo?


Doesnt look greenish to me to be honest, maybe your monitor needs to be calibrated ? It looks like normal yellowish dough color to me.

just a little bit green in shadows...nothing dramatic to call this a useless image :)

Poorer countries? I am from the Balkans and I can tell you that food/clothing prices are the same or higher than in the US. Yes, we have a crap but cheap healthcare system and housing/renting is much cheaper but the prices of the main commodities are getting more and more similar across the globe. The main difference is in wages.


Go to New York, take a beer, cigarettes, go to restaurant and then after maybe go to disco.
Than come back here and look your post

Who would willingly give away their ideas to the copycats?

Sue is right. If someone comes here and share his numbers you don't really need to see his portfolio to guess which kind of images he produces (of coarse you must be aware of your work). Of coarse if someone says that he has 20dw/day with 1500 img he's doing good images.

Personally i don't make any good or high value images and i know my numbers (3/4 downloads day with 600 img)
if someone says that he has 90 donwload/day with 1600 a good start would be in believing him.... Then you have two options:
1-try to get there with a "market reseach" and better shots
2-Don't care and continue in your standard work without whining :)

i use to process with kodak HC-110 and Agfa Rodinal. Quite standard chemicals and because they don't expire (even if there is a expiry date on the box)...someone used to say that rodinal it's like the wine: it gets better with time ;D ;D

I found more cheap to buy directly from ebay than in any shop directly (Italy)...can't help you much from this point of wiew as don't know how's there in UK

Microstock is not the place for fast money...
If you are doing this just because you really need fast 11k $ i suggest you drug dealing or some illegal business

Legal money will never be easy
