It's pretty easy, there isn't a lot of competition and you can get some experience, stuff for your portfolio, a download and a magazine (South Carolina Living). I got a bunch accepted but got kind of tired of it. The shots I did for it still sell sometimes though, paid for the props at least. http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=350117&page=1 Funny - I just submitted to that for the first time this month. I needed to get motivated for stock again and having someone tell what to shoot, seemed like a good idea. Just had one of my smoothie shots downloaded yesterday. Dont know if it was her, but someone liked it! Smoooth!!  |

I just went back to view what you submitted Patty. Great cookies! I was thinking of shooting those too, but never had the time to get to them. Yours look great and hopefully you'll get the DL for them. Got a Dl for one my Shepherd Pie shots today too. Dont know if it was for the magazine, but Im not picky about who's Dl-ing them! Good luck Patty! |
Posted Thu Jan 17 5:43PM | Thanks, Janine! Congrats on the quick dls! |
 Posted Thu Jan 17 7:29PM | PP Downloads have started trickling in ... I wonder if we'll see any Getty DLs come in for E+ this month. |
Posted Thu Jan 17 8:11PM | 45.3C - 113.5F in Sydney today baaaaaaaaaaaking even in the air-con. Southly change coming tonight, but not for several hours. Nice night for a swim in the pool. ETA: It reached 45.8 - hottest day on record for Sydney! (Edited on 2013-01-17 21:28:22 by dcdp) |

Not as much snow as I had hoped for - it's only around 50cm. Now I just hope that it won't melt soon. I hope that made you feel a bit cooler, Dave.  |
Posted Fri Jan 18 3:45AM | Fortnately the cool change has come through. It dropped 10 degrees in the space of about 5 minutes. |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 5:35AM | Is there fraud happening again? Had 2 Vetta L dl's today, and 3 other L dl's.... |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 10:16AM | Janine, Sharri will usually only use one from each contributor, so at least one of your dls was most likely from another source. That's a good thing. She will also tell you which files from which contributor she's chosen. And you will get your very own copy of the magazine. |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 11:10AM | Think this might be my last week of updating the stats folks, i'm finding keeping a close eye on my sales of late depressing. Such a shame how much this place has went downhill. |
Posted Fri Jan 18 11:30AM | Tommy, that's what happened to me. Seeing them all written down just showed how much worse they are than they used to be. I don't need to be reminded of that. |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 11:31AM | I just found that my peacock shot is used as the front over of the new Photoshop Elements 11 for Photographers book http://www.focalpress.com/books/details/9780415824453/ |

Thanks for the info Jonathon... I didn't know she sends out magazines. Both DL's were S or maybe XS, I cant remember, so if she does print, maybe those DL's weren't from her. |

 Posted Fri Jan 18 12:11PM | great news Ant Me too Tommy and Jonathan, my stats have been in a downward spiral, dont want to see them |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 2:27PM | Congratulations Ant. That's fantastic! I still want to do my stats, even though they are abysmal just lately. I hope everyone else continues because, for me, it's reassuring to see I'm not on my own. Plus (and I'm trying positive thinking theory here), it will be nice to look back on the bad days when the good days return and think "I'm grateful that's over" (Must stay posivite, must stay positive) |
Posted Fri Jan 18 2:37PM | i sincerely hope the good days return Paula, but for me it will be elsewhere |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 4:25PM | Does anyone know if I can put my istock rejects on Flickr under CC? Seems a pity to just have them sitting on my hard drive even if they're not high enough quality. |
 Posted Fri Jan 18 4:34PM | I am sticking with it, I had a poor week but still on target to do better than last year in Jan. Kudos to Ant, that is about as big as it gets isn't it? Being the front cover of a top selling photo package book, that is cool. (Edited on 2013-01-18 16:34:57 by Alphotographic) |
