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 [...] Last week I started with a New Year resolution to post once a week with some example stock images taken that week. I did this partly to keep the pressure on myself to take more images and I also hope it will be helpful to give you some ideas. This is the second week,but [...] As I mentioned in the annual review,I did think about committing to a stock photo a day target for 2012,but decided against it –too much of a commitment! Instead,I will post,at least once a week,images that I have uploaded in the past seven days. I’m not saying that all [...] I’ve just published my December stock photo earnings results,and thought it would be helpful to review the year –how I did,what changed,lessons learned and thoughts for 2012. First,a graph of earnings per site through 2011: Annual earnings in 2011 The December results showed the growth in earnings,but in [...] The December results are pretty good,and also quite consistent from month to month. Although December obviously has two major holidays,and work tends to slow down in many offices,the final sales of $1188 are better than I expected. Shutterstock came in really well with a couple of Enhanced Licenses on Friday (of the [...] |
