Stock photography - Building my Alamy Collection

May 9, 2008 – 10:03 am
Having looked into the world of microstock photography and not really seen any reason to carry on with it - I have been focusing my efforts into submitting and selling through Alamy stock photography - as these images will be properly licensed for proper use, rather than rediculous micropayments through the microstock sites such as iStock, Shutterstock etc. Although I still have my trial accounts open i'm certainly not going to be adding more pics to them, so they will all just sit there dormant until I get round to properly shutting them off. **UPDATED 10/5/08 - Stock area of my website live, finally!! - Click here: Stock Photography at 11thStudio So, Alamy - what a learning curve it's been, has been extremely exciting really. I aim to do a couple of posts more indepth about Alamy, and what is going on there in the next few days. I have been spending ...

Leap year 2008, celebrating the leap year with some facts!

February 29, 2008 – 10:18 am
Leap year 2008, it has come around too quick..seems like only the other day it was the last leap year! With the National Trust giving workers the day off today, as it's actually a free day.. perhaps you should suggest it to your boss. This leap year is also the year of the frog... Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year.. but if that year can be divided by 100 it's not...unless it's also divisible by 300.. if that makes sense. Leap years keeps our calender in alignment with our earths revolutions around the sun Leap years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the earth's revolutions around the sun. A full revolution around the sun takes around 365 days and 6 hours... hence the leap year to trim it back to normal A leap year is also traditionally the only day in which a woman can propose to a man... ...

February 21, 2008 – 9:34 pm
Another look into my building stock photography portfolio, images that are actually for sale - has taken me a long time to start, but am sorting it now.

Giant African Land Snails in the office - couldn’t help but post!

February 21, 2008 – 1:12 pm
African Land snails have descended on our office, it seems that we are looking after these African Land Snails for a couple of weeks before they are donated to a local zoo - where they will be free to roam in bigger surroundings! Rubbish photo I know, was just taken quickly with my Nokia N95 as I had nothing with me at the office today, I felt the need to share the giant african snail love! Have put in a poppy to show the sheer size of these beasts - they are huge! African snails support war veterans, it's a FACT. I think the agency should just keep and adopt the african land snails, as it's pretty entertaining to watch them whilst eating lunch.. if you listen closely I swear you can even hear Opera, I think it's opera, not sure, it's hard to tell. I hope you've enjoyed the most random post of ...
