Hi everyone,

there is a new photo exhibition in the city of Bottrop. Bottrop lies in the Ruhr area in Germany, and this year the Ruhr metropolis is European Capital of culture.
The mentioned exhibition deals with excellent photographs of steelmills and coal-mines in USA, Europe and Germany shot by Hilla Becher and her husband, who died in 2007.

Come to the Ruhr Metropolis, there is plenty to discover!

Hi everyone,

yesterday I sold my first image in TIF-format :-) great opportunity, thanks to DT!!

I'm just asking myself when buyers do buy images, how many days or months in advance.



For example: do they get pictures with summer-content in springtime? Or far earlier? Winter-images in summer?


Is there anybody out there who can explain that to me?




Thanks to all of you!

Hello everyone, I just put some images from my portfolio of Switzerland together,







I hope you enjoy them.

Recently some of my images were downloaded. But, via tineye.com, I can't find any of them in use. For me it is a little bit frustrating to know that my images are used but not being able to find where and what they are used for. Is there anybody who knows other ways to encounter downloaded images? Do you think DT should implement a special function for image use reports? I am very interested in your suggestions and opinions :)

For the interested of you: some images from Thailand...

Shots were made on Fuji Velvia 50 or Fuji Provia 100 and than scanned and postprocessed.

I am wondering in which format I should save and then submit illustrations made with Inkscape.

The DT-faq say: I am an illustrator; do you accept illustrations?
We love illustrations! Vector files should be saved in raster format, JPG at a high resolution, saved at highest quality and submitted in this format. As soon as they are accepted or right from the first submission you can also upload an additional format (ai, cdr or eps extensions accepted) which will sell at a higher price.

Is there anybody out there who can explain to me how I can save illustrations made with inkscape in JPG? If this is not possible, which format will be accepted on DT? Or how can I make an JPG from inkscape-format?

Thanks a lot!

Let me just show you a collection of medical images


I recently loaded up and


that were approved by DT.

Sometimes I get crazy after having uploaded some files... because it takes hours until they occure in the unfinishes files section... do you know a way to make this faster?

Comments and critics welcome!!

Recently I got the MR for the shown image. My friend and I were mountaineering in the Bernese Highlands in Switzerland. This shot was done about 150 meters away from the summit of Monch, a 4000-meter-peak, we are standing on the last ridge to summit, that was 40 to 30 cm wide and partly even narrower, on every side of the ridge the face was falling down several hundred dizzying meters. Both of us were afraid to fall down but finally we made it to summit.
It was a great, great day in late summer, slightly over 0°C, clear blue sky free of clouds. And the best: we didn't use a car, all we needed was a bike and a train to get in the heart of Berner Oberland!!
