I had been contemplating for a couple of years now whether to jump into the bandwagon of stock photography. Just 3 days ago, without thinking twice, I signed up with Dreamstime. I have 5 photos in my portfolio and still waiting for the other twelve to get approved. I want to concentrate more on still life and nature photography since I don't have enough funds to pay pro models to work for me. I would appreciate your comments, positive or negative, regarding my photos.

Thanks for the positive remark and encouragement. I'm going out of town to shoot for three days. I hope I bring back great shots. |

I'm really impressed! You have a creative eye for stock. I'm new here, too, learning all the ropes. You have an awesome beginning in your portfolio. I agree with Maigi's comment about the "rising star". Good luck with DT, although I don't think you are going to need a lot of luck! :-) |

LOL... yeah, it seams to be the real photographer's life - to put your life on the line to get a great shot. So, it's really great that you got the shot and not got shot... :) |

It's an alcohol used for heating food in catering. I forgot exactly what it is. The fire actually exploded a bit. Good thing I got the shot. |

Well, that's great. And the fire is... hmm, what is burning with blue flames... some kind of gas? Did you use camping gas stove? or maybe not. Anyway, great image. |

The secret about the ice is that it's a mock-up ice. Meaning, it's glass cube that I lit-up with fire at its bottom. I just waited for the right moment where the flame started showing amazing colors. About the frog, it's real!
Thanks for the positive feedback. |

Wow, great photos!
I have only 2 questions:
1) how did you set your ice cube in fire? Did you use some kind of lighting techniques or Photoshop?
2) is that frog really alive?
Anyway, it's a beautiful start. If you'll continue this way, you probably gonna be a rising star in the stockphotography dreamy sky... :) Have fun here! |

Welcome aboard. I've been here a few months, and it's been fun.
And I'm glad to read Tangie's comment, as I haven't played on the message boards much. I'll be popping over there a little later myself. :) |

Furthermore, we have rules regarding what should be in blog articles and what should be on the message board here.
