I recently reached 50 uploads and I participate to the assignment for the first time last month. Before I never took pictures thinking about a concept, even if I read that this is very important in microstock. Anyway this is a hobby for me and I just took pictures during my travels. The fact that now I had to think of a concept before taking pictures was an interesting challenge for me. The subject was help. I thought: do I help? As a matter of fact I and my wife volunteer at a dog shelter. So I decided to take some pictures of some of the cute puppies we take care of.
I had to overcome many technical difficulties: I don't usually take pictures of animals, I don't have a studio, so no experience at all in the field. Anyway with a little patience and my improved... [ Read more... ]

>A few tips if this is the first time you participate to the assignment.
If you picture is refused for the assignment it doesn't mean that the picture can't be accepted as a normal RF image. If your picture doesn't have technical problems, but it is refused because they are looking for something more original, it can be resubmitted as a normal RF. Sometimes the reviewer encourages you to do so, sometimes he/she doesn't. In any case you can resubmit your picture. Here is the tricky part. You don't have to go to the resubmit page and assign the picture the same ID of the file that has been refused. If you do so, the file will go back for the assignment, and refused again. You have to re-upload the picture and keep the new ID. This image has been refused 3 times (1 refused for the assignment and twice because... [ Read more... ]

Thanatonautii: if your image wasn't rejected because of technical problems you can try to resubmit it as normal RF. 4 of my pictures were refused for the previous assignment, but all them were accepted as normal RF.
Robseguin: Thanks for the compliments, good luck to you too
In my opinion this assignment is more about technical ability, rather than creativity. It is not a concept, where you can come up with an original idea. It's all about being very good at taking pictures of objects, and obviously having good equipment (especially lights). I'll try to take some good pictures, but I doubt I will be able to reach the quality of most of the pictures I have seen accepted :(

Congrats on reaching 50 images (and beyond). Great images in your portfolio, and those puppies....so cute.
I too am having a a tough time grasping the idea of a great concept for the assignments, but I will keep plugging away at it.
The idea here is that you're learning more and more with every shoot.
Good luck to all of us.
Cheers,
Rob

>I am not a professional photographer. I am Italian but I spend a lot of time in Thailand. I was a guitarist, but a serious permanent injury to my left hand stopped this passion. I decided that I had to have another artistic hobby, and considering that I have always been attracted by the photography world I decided to try. I like to receive comments, suggestions and critics and I appreciate a lot to know from the clients what my pictures are used for.
