I am on Redbubble but have not sold anything yet. Maybe because only my art images are on Redbubble. The type of image that people hang up on the wall.
Great idea combining London with going to a concert. We are invited by friends to visit them in Bahrain. I didn't want to fly non stop with my health problems and wanted to combine it with a mini holiday. I would have stayed longer in Istanbul. We will have only 2 days  in Istanbul.  I can dance around one flower for a long time to take several shots and my husband gets very impatient. Maybe I will get faster once I have more practice. Macro flower photography is new to me. Well, I won't dance around a flower in Istanbul. I hope to see some of the tourist attractions. I would love to take some people photos for microstock with my friends but I am not sure how to ask them for model release form signature... Maybe it is also rude to take photos when being invited by them. What do you think? I never get the chance to take people photos. Thes

I don't intend to upload the same images to microstock and macrostock. I intend to upload the best only to macrostock. Well, maybe they won't be as great as I hope some of them to be. Good idea taking photos in London. Unfortunately it's quite far. A 4 hours drive. I live in a small but once famous Victorian seaside town. I can wait for blue skies with fluffy white clouds and take lots of photos of the pier.  However, when I checked on microstock, not one image of the view already taken by others, not one image of the pier was ever bought. I can wait for good weather and go to Cardiff. That city also has disappointing downloads on DT. Well, I will only be in Istanbul for 2 days. My husband is already begging to let that be a holiday and not to take photos non stop. We have always taken photos and videos on holidays but now he is really worried that I will stand in front of the Blue Mosque for 8 hours taking photos. I might come back with only holiday slapshots because of a nagging husband.   

Offset wants images with 300Dpi and changing it with a software is not allowed

Wow, your video is great. Normally when on holidays I take the video camera and my husband the camera because he can't hold the video camera steady enough. I only just started editing photos for microstock. I can't even imagine editing videos. I now have the tiny bit better camera and intend to shoot photos this time rather than running to my husband to take the camera off him. Well, he now has his own camera. I intend to take photos only mornings and afternoons, evenings otherwise my husband will go mad with me taking photos all the time. When I told him I want to shoot a hyperlapse he already went mad. He is worried using a tripod in such a busy city. I am trying to keep it simply and concentrate on getting good photos but on the other hand I would love to try shooting a timelapse. Just not enough time to practice here now. Hhhmm, there are thousands of images of the Blue Mosque. Makes me wonder if they do need another one. What's the point getting up at 4 in the morning for something they already have? However if that's my attitude I could also say what's the point of adding another image of anything to microstock. They seem to have thousands of images of everything.

I thought about buying the Sirui T-025X Carbon Fibre tripod. Does anyone have experience with it? It should be fine with my lightweight Sony RX100M3 camera but what about if I want to buy later a better camera like the Sony A7 or any better camera that can take photos with 300DPI. My camera's photos are only 72 DPI despite the 20 MP.

I have taken travel photos for years but for myself. I took photos of what I liked when I passed it and not in golden hour. I only submitted one to microstock and it sold. It's a shame that I am only there for 2 days. Then I am off to Bahrain. Great images on Alamy. I will try to shoot in JPEG and RAW. My images are not sharp enough. My old 15 MP camera makes better, sharper Jpegs. I submitted 4 images to SS and were accepted but they were food photos. If I do well and my camera, I don't want to get just 0.25 for an XXL download. I just sold an image in XXL and got 0.25. I clicked on RF only on  Alamy and then on Rights Managed only. The same prices came up. Is that possible? I thought they charge more for rights managed images. How she's someone get into Getty without uploading through EyeEm? EyeEm doesn't even have an FTP uploader. I am not sure. Just had a quick look yesterday and can't even with out from what they pay 50%.

I am going to Istanbul soon. Is it worth it to upload the very best photos of cities on macrostock agency Alamy? I don't want to sell them so cheap. Is it possible to sell them to more than one macrostock agency? Do I need a better camera than my 20 MP Sony RX100M3 to sell to macrostock agencies? Why would customers pay a lot on a macrostock website when they can get the same images on microstock?

Hi, why are your flight images editorial? I have checked today because I am going to an air show. On DT they are commercial. Now I also need to know more about this. I think you can take photos on the Royal Cornwall Show. I had an ice cream decorated with a wafer on it rejected for Intellectual property law. There was no name on that wafer. All that work for nothing.

Thank you. I am not impatient. I thought I did something wrong.

How long does iStock need to review images? I am waiting what seems forever. It is my first upload of images after getting accepted. Even DT is faster.

Why didn't you write to SS and iStock. These people should be put in prison. We all should write to these agencies.

However, this camera is not that great at all. I read a professional review where it is mentioned that this camera makes mushy photos . Unfortunately I didn't take photos with my old camera in golden hour as well.  Years ago I took photos with a film camera and never had problems but that was many years ago. No thanks, I am not going back to take photos on automatic setting. Camera takes everything with f5.6 on automatic setting.

I always upload the original size file. It really takes long to upload. I will try out that downsizing. The problem is, that when I sharpen an image I get more noise and again I have to remove more noise which really softens my image. I paid more attention to that today and I noticed that after noise removal, sharpening and then a little bit more noise removal again the stone looked all soft. Not nice. A rock actually.  If downsizing helps just a little it would be great. Thank you to all for your help. I will put that now all in practice.
