Im probably late to this discussion, but a recent post by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explains the science in very simple terms

This photographer never read Shutterstocks terms and agreement and never checked his account again after uploading one photo that was legally licensed and ended up in Walmart stores

MicroVet!!  Exactly! how can the guys earnings be gone when SS havent even computed them yet?? and how can SS fail to see anything if something?...no I dont buy this at all!
Could for all we know be lots of shadey people teaming up for robbery?  or of course nothing at all?

OP probably meant to say that his/her last months earnings all disappeared like it happens at SS at the beginning of each month...

Hello guys !

I'm new here. I created account in SS about 6-7 months ago. Then about a few months ago I created account with the passport of my aunt. She is good at drawing illustrations. Then I started to upload to illustrations to her account. Sometimes I entered to my own SS account to see earnings then log outed and entered my aunt's account and her earnings. Actions were happening from the same IP address. But about a week ago, both my own account and my aunt's account suspended. Then they asked in both emails that "have you previously created a SS Contributor account ? ". I said no. Then my aunt's account and mine were terminated. They wrote to both emails that account terminated for "suspicious activity". Now my question is What . how they found I'm using both accounts ?

designer093 is that you?

Hello colleagues!
I'm simply going to visit the USA and would like to take some aerials with my drone(I know there are lots of restricted areas there). I'd like to sell my aerial footage via microstock agencies and that's why I need to take an FAA aeronautical test and get a Part 107 Certificate, which is needed to fly your drone commercially.
The test is not something hard I believe and everyone can prepare and pass it.
But... I am a non-US citizen (I'm from Moscow). And there's kinda additional thing you have to do to get Part 107 Certificate - submit an application (a form) for foreign air carrier economic licensing to Department of Transportation of the USA.
The form has some weird questions and the process of this submission is quite complicated (as FAA described).
I'm also chatting with FAA about this application but decided to ask here as well.
Has anybody went through this? If so, I'd love to hear about their experience.

Russians would eventually turn up in odd places, often in middle-of-nowhere USA. One was found on a beach, nowhere near where he was supposed to be. In one particularly bizarre case, relayed by a U.S. intelligence official, another turned up wandering around in the middle of the desert. Interestingly, both seemed to be lingering where underground fiber-optic cables tend to run.

Adobe Stock / Re: Minimum Payment Commission Increase
« on: September 28, 2018, 22:55 »
Lev Dolgachov asked on my Facebook post about the minimum commissions for the diamond rank (>1.000.000 downloads).
These stay the same at 0,40$, according to Adobe member Kirsten Harris:
https://www.facebook.com/fotoproduzent/posts/10156713812442959?comment_id=10156714138687959&reply_comment_id=10156714155022959


However, so far only one contributor (Monkey Business) reached that ranking.

Are you saying that professional people still use Facebook? 🤔

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Getty - 500px partnership
« on: August 21, 2018, 14:19 »
If your photos are good enough to be accepted by Getty when submitted by Chinese 500px then your photos are good enough to be accepted by Getty when submitted directly by you. Why split your earnings with 500px?

He's an idiot and embarrassment to this country...

Are you quoting ROBERT DeNiro?

That was just my personal opinion, but I fully endorse what Robert DeNiro said.

Before you spend $$$ on a new lens, why dont you rent couple different ones and test what lens works best for you?

You can get the same image with 85mm F1.4 - F2.8 lens on a full frame camera. You only need to get closer. If you can't get closer to your subject, only then use longer focal lengths 100mm, 135mm or 200mm.

Take a look at online tutorials:
