75 Photos already     posted on 4th of october, 2007

I haven't blogged here this week. Feeling a little remiss.

As I was uploading today I realized that I already have 75 photos up. Sure, it's not a huge portfolio yet, but it's a start.

The best part is I'm learning a lot here that's helping me to understand what works in stock photography, and in my general photography as well. I appreciate everyone's comments, and I'm glad to see them popping up on my shots as well.

Thanks all! I guess the next milestone is 100. We'll see, today I've submitted 27 more photos including several shots of a desert tarantula I almost stepped on hiking, a common king snake I found the other day, and a unique spider setting up shop between a few cactus.

Oh, and thanks to all the bloggers here who offer amazing tips. I've gotten so many great ideas from all of you!

So much for 75. Now I'm at 82 this morning. :)

Maybe 100 in a week or two.

Thanks. I'm ok with one sale for now. I think it probably has to do with my keywords, and I've submitted several photos to the keyword program here. Hoping that might help.

It's hard describing some of my landscape photos. I think in climbing terms usually. And I know there's more. Like the photo of Hartman rocks above. Wonderful spot in Gunnison Colorado for mountain biking, hiking, 4wheelers, etc. But with the photo I can usually come up with 10 - 14 keywords. :)

Working on it, and hopefully the keyword program here will improve it.

Thanks again Tonygers. I keep popping by yours as well. Oh, and I've downloaded several other members' photos for my own web projects. Glad to have so many great things to choose from here.

I can't believe you've only had one sale. Your portfolio is great.
Comment by Gadgetat on October 04, 2007
Way to go. I haven't stopped by your portfolio since last Friday, but I'll go take a look now! 100 is GREAT. Hope to be there soon too. :)

Congrats! I just reached 100 today!

    About Me
Richard Charpentier (Gadgetat)
Prescott, US

I'm very new to stock photography, but not photography itself. I've shot scenes from an Appalachian Trail Hike in 2001, moose of the great north woods (loons too), and my travels across the US over 2006 in a 25 ft Airstream.

A friend suggested trying Dreamstime and posting some of my latest photography. I sure hope you enjoy what I share here. If you're curious about photos I don't post here, stop by my website listed on my profile.
