  • Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys
    Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys Since I am a photography loving guy myself, this is partly my own wish list.

This post I presume is for the [...] […]

Microstock site 123rf.com

  Just out of curiosity I tried donating an image last month on 123rf.  I don’t know if that’s what helped me get the downloads that I did in January or not, but it was the best month I had there.  So this month I’m donating several more with some thought involved in which ones I’m doing.  Here are a couple of the images I’m donating.

My thought process was that these are single images similar to several other in my portfolio, so the hope is that the buyers will like these images and want some other images that are similar.  I also updated my ‘faved’ images which can also help with downloads.

I’m also trying to get more deliberate and consistent with my shooting and uploading.  I’m also wondering a little if I shouldn’t do some purging of some of my original images.  When I look back at them now I can’t believe they were even accepted.
