I would agree with what batman said when he quoted sharply _done-"keyword,keyworld and keyword". Unfortunately I have been unable to figure out what are the right keywords.

Hi
I get a lot of rejections for "composition".From the reviewer or agency point of view what does the word "composition"mean to them.Not complaining just trying to understand the term as used in microstock.Thank you.

Well put Whitechild! A lot of the people complaning about competion remind me of how the old macrostock photographers cried about what microstock was doing to their earnings.Seems the "shoe is on the other foot".

about 80 of my very small portfolio are scanned 35MM slides. They account for over half my small amount of sales. I use a Epson 3170 and Scan in at 3200 dpi.I then change to 300 dpi TIF and then down size and change to JPG. I do get quite a few rejections.Most rejections are for composition and poor lighting.Considering most are aerial photos in available light I guess that is to be expected

1. I always visually clear the area before shooting photos.
2. In high traffic areas I always have an observer.
3. The aircraft I use is very stable and slow.After owning and flying this plane for 60yrs(1949-2009)-I just whisper to it and it goes where i tell it.
P.S.-Thanks for the suggestion of the company in the UK that specialised in airtaxi photos.But unfortunately I haven't taken any aerial photos in the UK.4 continents but
not the UK Thanks just the same.

I want to thank everbody who have posted helpful hints for newcomers. They have been most helpful to me. THANK YOU! As for being competition -unless "yu-all" fly airplanes and take photos from them - I am no competition to anybody.

Hi: 14" to 24" of snow depending on what part of the valley you measure it in.Right now it is -7F snowing and blowing. Hope to put skis on my aircraft if it warms up a little. Oh foregot to mention this is in Western Montana.

Mine is aviation and how this old earth looks from above. I Don't know if that is a good selling niche in microstock - but it is what i know and like to do.

No I don't chimp. Not beacuse I think I am professional or extra good-but because in a moving aicraft you don't have time- things happen to fast for that.It better to keep shooting and weed it out later in photoshop.Also when doing mapping photos the camera is triggerd by remote anyhow.However this did add an new word to my vocabulary
