Lazy blogger

  • Jun 20, 2008
  • 1 comment

I haven't blogged here for ages. The current state of play is 120 images up on iStockPhoto and 145 downloads. I've just had permission granted to shoot in my local church so now I have to speak to prospective models and generally get my act together!

New toys

  • Feb 1, 2008
  • Post a comment

It has been a been a while since I blogged and a lot has been happening. 

I now have 50+ images uploaded to
View My Portfolio. 
I have 19 download so far which isn't many but it's only been a month.

I've also bought some new toys on eBay. I have a Sunpak 444D Flash, a Sunpak 30SR Flash and a Vivitar 2800 
Flash. I also bought some Cactus v2s Remote triggers. What does this all add up to? It means lots of off camera 
flashy goodness. If you're wondering what I mean visit The Strobist.

The portfolio grows

I now have 20 photographs in my portfolio of at iStockPhoto with another 15 in the queue, but still no sales!
Oh well, the journey has started,so they say. The images are a mixture of things, a couple of flowers, a couple of 
trains, a few portraits, and a bit of a silly series about embarrassing situations. If I can just corner the market in 
embarrassing situations ...

I have another series in the queue which is computer security/hacking type relate stuff which I'm 
pretty happy with. The first couple were rejected because the model release was too small, believe it or not! But
they have been resubmitted and will be approved (hopefully) soon. I have a few more images in that series too which
I haven't PP'd yet. My queue is full, what can I say! Who'd have thought 15 images a week would be a restriction!

I now have two weeks of holidays so hopefully I'll get out and take some photos, although the weather is pretty 
ordinary at the moment which might make that aim tough. Perhaps I should just aim for smaller stuff I can do indoors.
I have a few ideas for recipe inspired shots, but haven't quite figured out how I can take them yet, with the limited 
equipment I have. It's not like I have a ready make studio handy, perhaps I should get one of those light tent things off
eBay.

Anyway, that's all my news. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to anyone who reads this .

The power of one

I had my first photo accepted on to iStockPhoto today. It is the one of the isolated leucadendron. 
I'm a little surprised it was accepted because it was shot at ISO800. I don't think it is going to sell much
because flowers never do, but it is good to finally officially have a portfolio, even if it is only 1 photo!

Progress

I've uploaded my 15 photos for the week for submission to iStockPhoto. A mixture of things really just to see
 how they get along. Some portrait ones, some flowers ones and a few concept shots for a series 
I have thought up that I haven't really seen done by anyone else on iStockPhoto.

In other news I am really getting a lot out of Lightroom. I has a few quoibles, but they are outweighed by the
functionality it has. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy it. I guess a key point is that I haven't
used Bibble once since downloading Lightroom.

I have been using Bibble Pro to do my digital photo development, but I have recently started shooting in RAW and
have noticed that Bibble causes nasty artifacts in the images in high detail areas like hair and feathers and rough
water. As a result I have started checking out Adobe Lightroom. So far I have been impressed, but there is still much
to learn.
