What you have there stays there, it's anything after downgrading that changes. But it is only $25 per year.

 

apparently white balancing is overrated... seriously i would never think these pics would get any kind of attention like this - first one is from 2007 and second is 2008 - but these are the 2 licensed so far:

the one that got me 'in':


within 30 mins got this one:


both are HDR's. and its funny that I had a renewed recent interest in HDR; I think I'm going to keep doing em. I forgot how fun it is.

so apparently now I can submit pictures directly into the Getty pool whenever I feel like it, up to 40 a month.

 

That's so awesome. Congratulations!

You mentioned on fb that someone wants to license the 1st already - so great!

 

thanks - yeah im not being accurate with these terms - these aren't 'licensed' yet, they are being considered because clients would like to license them. also I am not 'licensed' to Getty like I said earlier, I'm a 'contributor'.

 

Cool. That second one is an interesting pick since it shows Whole Foods... you'd think that would cause issues.

 

the way these work, you can get any picture licensed. there are release forms up the wazoo. so even for people pics, like my club pics are apparently something they look for. but if there are people in them, I need release forms for them. I dont know how it would work for like, a crowd.

Well for clubs or events they usually have a sign saying "you may be photographed or recorded, by entering you're allowing it to be done and possibly used for commercial work" or something like that.

I've seen it at a club and at hot import nights.

 

Yea saw those back in 2009. I think it was posted on AZ.
Anyways pretty nifty.

 

ok so, I think it finally "sunk in"...

thanks, glad to see theyve picked a good number of newer photos I actually love!

 

Sweet!!


Flickereenos wonder if they are related to the Flickerboogers ??

 

yeah its why when I first got the email the other day and it said goofy sh*t like that in it, i was like wtf, is this real?? lol

 

That rocks srika. congrats

 

Curious.. Srika. If Getty images sells any of your images do you get any compensation?

 

of course. I get 20-40% of the sale, depending on license type. While that may not seem like a lot, a) it sure beats the images sitting around on my hard drive doing nothing and b) images can sell to large companies for large amounts - one of my friends who is on Getty already told me that someone he knows sold a Getty image to Nokia for a billboard, for $18k. Even 20% of that is not too shabby. That is an uncommon example (I think) but still it shows you the potential out there.

 

Just got my 7d today. The AF System is fckn rad. I mean totally awesome! IQ seems much better then my 40d as well as ISO performance- huge improvement IMHO. So that concludes my review.

 

Yea I figured you would.

Hope we see one of your shots on a billboard or like in the NY times newspaper or something..

 

vive la AZ 7D users group!!

 

Nice. I'm considering using the canon loyalty program to trade in my semi-working 40D for a 7D or 5DII

 

AF system is ON POINT.

 

I need to start using my flickr...

But I suck nuts at photo so no one would want them...

 

dude did you see the 2 first photos they licensed? they are horrible! stop saying that to yourself. what you think is good/bad is not what others think is good/bad.

 

Well then I just need to stop being lazy and edit my photos.

I've got soooooo much backed up.

 

If you want FF, wait for 5DIII which will have the 7D technology plus I'm sure other improved features.

 

Yea but I won't be able to trade in my semi-busted 40D for one...

 

There's no guarantee about the which AF they'll use. No one thought they would introduce the 5D2 with the AF from the 20D, but they did.

 

^ Perhaps... but I think they learned their lesson on that one.

 

Let's hope so.

 

Im sure you have lots of great photos and you just dont know it.

 

synth you went to ALMS @ RA!!! i hate you, lol

 

oh ok.. i guess it was Brad, not you.

 

^ ha.. good catch.

 

you cut yourself to let the pain out, dont you?

 

 

 

uhhh Rubin? Thanks for the newest Flickr pics
