once upon a time a photographer really needed to know what they were doing to even be considered a stock photographer. oh the times they are changing changed.

Nonsense. Stock photography is way more competitive now than it has ever been before.

sure, cause now everyone and their cat is a photographer and can submit to any microstock agency and not even know what they are doing and not even have to deal with a true editing process. it's a sad day for stock photography as an industry when your agency sends you a "how to" take photos course.

my original post was not about being more or less competitive, it was related to skill level, we never had the "how to" courses cause the only way into any agency was "know how".

hence the often mentioned view of the traditional agencies were "closed shop", they were never closed shop - ever- ever- ever, but if you did not know what you were doing, they's slam the door in your face.
Sorry, but you dont understand what Skillfeed is when you say that. Its the same as Lynda.com. Just because SF is from SS doesnt meant they are training people on how to take photos.
