123RF / Pixlr Market

Did receive an email from 123rf because Pixlr Market couldn't find a discussion here so I'm wondering about any opinions?

My last sale with them was from July last year: $0.09
They used to be okay about 5 years ago (at this time files had to be exclusive) but since then it is getting down fast I'm keeping my portfolio but don't upload to them anymore...

I had a few images downsized on a free site then I submitted the images in full size a couple of months later at SS my account was blocked for many weeks because my images at the free site was submitted by other people as their content at SS.

The signed release is valid after the death of a person. Ethically is very personal you can ask the photographer to take down the pictures in question.

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock very bad results
« on: January 08, 2019, 07:01 »
I believe this is your portfolio https://www.shutterstock.com/g/tomgriger?page=100&measurement=px&sort=popular&safe=true&search_source=base_gallery&language=en. You have way too many similar images. In fact, it should be considered spam, simply mass producing images won't increase sales.
I had a quick look but I don't see this as spam at all the pictures look similar but they focus on a different country with each image so no spam at all IMHO

this thread lead me to look at my stats at SS for a very long time. I was surprised how well I performed my monthly earnings have been in the 200-400 $ range so very small earner but compared to 2017 it was actually better without doing anything in 2018 at all! I don't wanna be cynical but maybe the problem is your massive upload that put you back!

Image Sleuth / Re: Confessions of a MiroStock Thief
« on: December 22, 2017, 07:47 »
It is interesting but I really don't understand it, are there tutorials? Not that I'm going to do it, beside ethical reasons my problem is not creating new work it is wading through it and bring it online. How do you handle model releases do you just fake them?

Software - General / Re: Luminar 2018 (Macphun)
« on: November 17, 2017, 04:47 »
ACDSee Pro was always my main picture browser and I used  Lightroom only on a side for a few special tasks. It's not perfect but much faster than Lightroom. On a Windows PC the Mac version kinda sucks.

Good old cheesy Microstock-days, saturation rules ;)
Back to topic yes your balloons have been stolen let us know what SS did about it!

Is the old license valid for the new version?

MicrostockSubmitter / Re: Updates
« on: October 05, 2017, 12:03 »
I cannot submit or upload to Pixta for more than a day.

There is no way to get past authorization.

This Electron window (which is painfully slow btw..) just sits there and never disappears like for exampla after Fotolia login
yeah but it's Pixta fault I simply started to ignore them, they are such a small earner not worth the hassle anyway.

97
I couldn't look in the mirror if I'm doing this - shameful!

98
The problem is not that the price of the software is too high, the problem is that microstock just produces so little revenue nowadays that is it hard to justify any expense!

General - Stock Video / Re: What does timelapse do to shutters
« on: September 09, 2017, 07:35 »
Panasonic GH3, GH4 and GH5 (and other models) all have electronic shutters to use mechanical shutters for Timelapse is a waste. I had several shutters replaced without using them for timelapse for Canon 5D (regardless of the mark) it was usually at 170.000 actuations. As others noted Sony has this feature too. Shutter replacement for 5D is usually between 300,- to 400,- Euros.

I'm doing photography full time and I would like to do some heart surgery at a side. I'm not so interested in the money but I love the comments I do get from my kids and their friends after I successfully band-aided them. I can imagine people are even more thankfully after a successful heart surgery so any tips to get into the business and to offer my free surgery service would be very much appreciated.
