Hello,

I've enjoyed reading your site - a nice variety of helpful information.

I like your shot above. At T3DS, we allow editorial images (and they sell quite well), so if you need a new home to list it, we'd love to have you as a member.

Our members price their own images and receive the highest royalty rates in the industry.

You have a very nice collection. :)

Good motivational article. I have made a test about rejections in my blog as well, uploading 15 images to 10 different agencies: There is no pattern whatsoever who accepts what. Or in other words: It's all pure coincidence:

Comment on Free Photo of the Week at Shutterstock

Thanks for pointing that out Matt, I never would have checked. I see the giraffes are there between last week's potw and this weeks vector. I couldn't even find it on the first 20 pages of the regular animals category; maybe that will change after a week of freebies and give it a bit of life. It sold again as sub today, poor buyer.

Oh no! I shouldn't have bragged until the week was over! Day #2 has been just another ordinary day! I've jinxed it!

It is really good to be listed on the Shutterstock homepage - I was there last year and it almost double my earnings for those one week! So if you get such opportunity - never say NO :)

Amazing, how much the sky can change the look of the image. You made the right choice changing it. Looks much better.

Great post. To photograph someones misfortune is tough or at least it should be. The hardest thing here, was that it was in your own neighbourhood. I think you did the right thing.

One thing to check as far as exposure goes is exposure compensation. I have ruined more than one shot because I forgot I had adjusted EC from a previous session.
There's also the exposure metering mode to consider.
