Pursuing the objects in the "macro world" is among the first attempts to enter the amateur photography craft. As soon as people discover the power of magnification the macro-modes the point-and-shoot cameras provide them, they usually are so appalled by the new possibilities and viewpoint of the environment around us, that they more often than not tend to forget all good guidelines of successful photography that they would otherwise abide to. "Newbies" often fall for the sheer ability to capture detail not visible so well to the naked eye. They forget about composition, usable depth of field, adequate lighting and so ... [ Read more... ]

As the image editors (not entirely correct a statement - we're more like... well, reviewers only) review up to a couple of thousand images per day - each - then they most likely see the big picture, when it comes to balancing the various subjects and categories within Dreamstime's database. I'd like to start this blog series - aimed at pointing out various pitfalls many of the images have, that we review each day - with discussing the term "too many" and why "we have reviewed your file, but it is not what we are looking for". So take a seat... This is a very well covered subject in our database or the subject of your image is too specific. We are looking for images that exceed the technical ... [ Read more... ]

You've got it right Marko, don't shoot species that are too popular and avoid the run-of-the-mill snapshots. The best friend you can have here is research. Sort the results by differend criteria and cross-reference for the best selling or the least exposed shots. - posted by

Good article and good recommendations! I agree with you in 85%. It is true that there are many flower pictures up in many stock sites. So is true that if you are trying to find some specific species from one flower the search can result zero images.
I would like to believe that you do not mean that it is a waist of time for photographers trying to upload and shoot flower photos. Maybe we should be more specific with keywords and avoid species that are well covered? - posted by

Kutt Niinepuu
(Demonike)
Tallinn, EE
I was born in 1978, into one of the Soviet states of USSR. As far as I remember, life was actually OK back then. For me as a child at least. Looking now at my own 6 year old son, I often think that there were substantially less temptations and distractions at that time when I was young. No LEGOs, no Disney (available), no bubble gum, etc. Nevertheless we were happy. Happy to have our ice-cream or happy to get our lemonade from the lethally dirty vending machines, according to today's hygiene standards. What I'm trying to say is that THINGS will not make one happy. The more you can choose from the more you want. It doesn't matter in the long run. As does not matter which brand of camera you are shooting with. The art lies within you. If it is there, then you can equally successfully choose whatever method of delivery you prefer - be it a painting, a black & white negative, or a full colour, razor-sharp digital image. YOU must master the technology of your choosing, not the other way round. So instead of spending your milk-money on the latest and greatest, take some time to deeply understand and control the features of apparatus already at hand. I'm one of the image admins here, at Dreamstime.
