Microstock Earnings December 2008

December was really busy with Christmas and everything so not much happened.  I hope people don’t find my numbers discouraging, especially since I don’t.  I’ve not really been putting much time into this endeavor.  I’m doing it more to learning something new and get better at photography.

Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash

Well I broke down and bought the Nikon Speedlight SB-600 AF Flash Light – i-TTL, TTL, D-TTL, Manual – 65.6ft Range, but I bought it from Buy.com instead.

My wife has been wanting an MP3 player and I saw Sandisk Sansa c250 2GB MP3 Player, On the fly FM and voice recording, MicroSD slot -Recertified on Buy.com. An MP3 player for $17 I didn’t think I could pass it up.  It is refurbished, but I tend to trust the brand name SanDisk.

Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash

I’m really thinking about adding a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight to my Nikon D80 setup. I’ve got two nice lenses in my Nikon 18-200mm and Nikon 50mm f/1.8.  Currently my weakest area is lighting.  I think the speedlight will be my best overall option in lighting to start with, but would like to add some studio type lighting for when I try to take some portraits.

I’d love to find somewhere local to pick one up to use for the rest of our Christmas gatherings but the the best price I can find locally is $219.  If I can find one for $200 I’ll probably do it, otherwise it looks like the link below to Amazon is about the best price I can get, although it may take a week or so to get the price savings are worth it.

I’ll probably be making the decision in the next day or two.

Microstock Earnings November 2008

Well it looks like around $10/month seems to be right about where I’m stuck on my microstock earnings.  Last month I was disappointed with my earnings but this month I’m figuring that unless I step up my dedication and picture taking that’s about where I’m at.  In November I got a total of 3 pictures added to Shutterstock and that’s all the new content I got added.

I didn’t even get any other posts made here, although I do have a couple more that I want to make.
