General Stock Discussion / Re: Travel photography Sales« on: October 28, 2014, 02:35 »Everyone takes vacations and shoots pictures and thinks their images are beautiful. It's unlikely that trying to sell them as stock will be worth the effort, as people already in the area, and professional photographers have likely already spent lots of time and money creating salable works from the area. i've to agree with him BUT this dosn't mean that you should stop travelling with your camera and shoot pictures...just maybe you won't get in few hours of visit the best result you can get from one spot...but coming back to the main point,for sure this will be totally UN-economic 179

General Photography Discussion / Re: Isolating photos, the right way« on: October 21, 2014, 04:17 »Chinese lights are cheap! Saved time is worth IMHO. that is the point....you can isolate perfectly with a budget of around 70-100 euro...of coarse is nothing easy-to-move and looks like gypsy but it works very good.... ...personally i have space reserved for this set up and i don't need every time to set up and down...i just go there with objects, food, wathever and shoot....4-5 mins per object, and 20 seconds in ps just to check perfection of white and eventually a fast correction.....around 5-6 mins per image photoshopping maybe require double time per image (compared to this classical method)...multiply for 1500/2000 image, you have more than 70 hours added to your workflow...i think a 100 euro investment is really ridicolous compared to this time-saving, of coarse for someone doing a lot of isolations (like me) 181

The day when all (again: all) info will be manipulated, distorted and organised to bring consensus to one part, without exception, we will understand that information isn't an industry or a business like every other. We are not too far from it well if you think there has ever been a democracy in this a.C. world you might be right....indeed you're wrong 182
Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / Re: Video equipment help« on: October 21, 2014, 02:17 »
there quite a lot good tripods out there...manfrotto/triopo/velbon/giotto....etc
choice of tripod is not the problem if you shoot in studio (just need to be solid)...head is the problem depends on what you want to shoot ball head, 3 axis or video head...are all made for different kind of work...personally i use 3 axis in studio and ball head for timelapses/hyperlapses and outdoor photography...but as you say you want to make video i think a video head would be better for you (camera movements are smoothed) 183
General Photography Discussion / Re: Isolating photos, the right way« on: October 20, 2014, 07:38 »
i shoot isolated with 3 to 5 lights...one behind, one under for isolation.... and others to give shape to the object (left, right, up)...taslucient background is needed

People who were going to buy two or three images will now only be able to buy one, but will they buy a new credit pack when their current one expires? If they don't , the impact will be seen weeks or months from now. i didn't thought about that! you're right... 197
