i would say that after Christmas sales start to slump dont you think? i find that you may have a better chance of sales depending what human habits you can think of. example after Christmas people want to loose weight and get fit. why not get some great shots of people exercising and running etc. in the gym is even better. these are targets i have set for myself. also think of easter - easter eggs,chocolate rabbits , little yellow chicks, it can go on and on. think festive and your a sure winner to gain more sales :)

Hi all, I did write a blog last week stating that i was starting college next week (today) and was asking you opinions on what to expect. well that day arrived today it is only part time evening course and i am starting late actually 3 weeks into the course already,but its no panic as i am not a complete beginner and was familiar with what the tutor was talking about.what tonights lesson was about? CAMERA APERTURE AND SHUTTER SPEED SETTINGS. Basically running threw all the aperture and speed settings of the camera example 100(slow) shutter speed is good for outdoors shooting and 400 (fast) shutter speed is good for indoors and you can get away with not using a flash at this setting.the lower the shutter speed(30) the more likely you are to get shake or blur in your image....

hello everyone,

this is more aimed at noobs or people who may not be so familiar with the search tab and content filter.i have recently learned that pulling my hair out and banging my head against the monitor is not an ideal solution to not being able to find my own recently uploaded images. the problem was i uploaded some new images (with a bit of nudity) and was stressed out 1 week later when i found that my images were not showing up in my own portfolio.so i tried searching using my own keywords that i had used for my images and only one out of the 3 was showing up.i was contacting Dreamstime and explaining they were not being found and they replied everything was ok.

hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm so i blamed my end of the problem and it turned out that when my content filter ...

hello everyone, I have been on Dreamstime for nearly 1 year now, and have spent a lot of time browsing.I create images and take pictures when I have the time. A tip to all photographers and illustrators out there is to look for areas of need and fill the gaps.I design websites and I am currently in the process of building one now.I have images in my head that I would like (which is 2 carp fishing rods on their rod rests with a nice sunset behind them) but with the British weather I have no chance of going shooting them myself as we have major floods for nearly 2 months now and rain EVERY day!! It may pay you to learn a little bit about other people's hobbies and sports and the types of apparatuses they use and what's the satisfaction they get out of doing it. Type the words ...
