 | Getting Started in Stock This is a question we all ask ourselves,having spent hundreds (thousands) of dollars on our hobby! I asked myself that question over 3 years ago,and decided the answer was to sell my images. After a slow start,I have increased my income to a run rate of more [...] Keeping up with the New Year’s Resolution by posting yet another set of images taken in the past week. I’ve focused on macro and still life type images this week:The first one is a simple image of nail trimmers or cutters and the finger nails themselves on the edge of a sink. I had [...] This short article covers a photographic isolation – setting your subject against a pure white background to make it easy to change the background or add the subject to a different composition. It is similar to blue (or green) screening but is sometimes easier to achieve without any specially colored backgrounds or cloths. A typical [...] I have around 200 images from my Kauai trip that are now online (although a lot of them without the critical keyword “Kauai”as a result of the Lightroom keyword export bug explored in this post!),and so rather than keep posting ones from that trip,here are some new images taken this week. The [...] Alamy is one of the sites I upload to,and I’ve been bemused for a time when I’m adding some main keywords that major keywords seem to be missing. My recent trip to Kauai brought this home as the keyword “kauai”was missing on the uploaded files. At first I thought I had forgotten to [...] Much of the past week has been occupied with processing my images from Hawaii. All told,I have around 1500,but 250 of those were the timelapse movie images that I discussed a few days ago. Amazing how long it takes to review and then process all those images as I always work in Raw [...] As mentioned in a previous post,I’m still working through my 1400 images from a recent trip to Oahu and Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. One of my experiments this time was a timelapse movie that I will upload to a few stock video sites. The steps are not that complex if you haven’t done [...] A new year starts in a pretty reasonable fashion with total earnings of around $1150. It isn’t just good enough to keep me on track for my 2012 target of $18000,but there are still plenty of months and plenty of images to upload between now and the end of the year! I added around [...] Well,my new year resolution to post every week got forgotten last week! But I did have an excuse –I had to go to a conference in Hawaii and tacked a week’s working vacation (taking photographs) in Kauai onto the trip. Over 1400 images later,I am struggling to go through and edit the [...] I’m keeping up with my resolution to take and post new images every week! Good shot This first one was a real joy to produce. I saw a video on PhotographyTalk forum which showed how to get a shot of wine flowing from a bottle. His example was one where the wine appeared to [...] |
