General Stock Discussion / Re: your most laughable rejection
« on: July 11, 2008, 12:13 »
did they suggest pluck and resubmit ?

SS   prefers that ones uploads at least once a week. My second month at SSwas $198, simply because I uploaded all the images I had then (around 700) and I was uploading almost every day. Recently i did not upload for almost 2 months and the result was $69 for June. For the past 7 days I uploaded 40 images and already earned $50 in July.

$1000 a month and solving the tedious part of uploading. I hate that I have to spend 4 hours to upload 10 images to 8 sites.

you become part of the microstock universe, and the universe became part of you. in that generous exchange someone commended you, as expected.  ;D

thanks epixx!. I am trying to find for myself a different avenue, other than food images. It has to be either editorial images or some creative PS stuff. But I can't read PS manuals, I tried several times; a torture ... Now I got, thanks to this thread, a better idea of editorial images. I have canon 40D and it is bulky to carry around. Of course, I have to decide eventually.

Is is not possible to fix exposure in PS, without the need to return back to a shooting location? Especially, if the location is on some other continent.

164
indeed, a person ambidextrously versed in both arts (one revealing and one concealing) will be your best bet, MIZ.

165
why not something like flowers, kids, or sea.

I made a search on Alamy "Philadelphia". I see some images marked as L and some as RF. Where are editorial images ?

167
most of the things you write MIZ are very funny.

 hire an assistant to upload images. SS needs constant feeding.

This pertains to United States Federal Laws (Not world wide)



One note to ponder: If you were sick would you ask another photographer for advice, or would you ask a doctor?

it seems that they reject at least half of the images submitted.

I do not find that it matters for food images.

I am sure many of us have had our keywords or even description and category omitted by a reviewer.
But vonkara is right, it's getting more usual these days.
Oh well, I guess the best thing to do is to give the reviewers the benefit of the doubt. After all, they're the editors.
Me? I just keeping shooting and keep submitting.
Just shooting and submitting may be not enough nowadays. I think the market for images is oversaturated already and only people with PS skills and talented illustrators can hope to make real money from microstock.  I think also that people with established portfolios may not be loosing much due to oversaturation since customers return.
