A late Happy New Year :-)

Hi everyone,
It's been too many weeks since I posted my last message here. So for 2010 I will do my best to be more active on this blog.

First of all I will give some short updates on recent activities:
I have updated the licensing rules of my portfolio. From now onwards, I offer also a set of extended licenses as listed below. For more details, click on the links and Dreamstime's Terms & Conditions will pop up.

• U-EL: Unlimited Seats
• I-EL: Increase Maximum Copies
• W-EL: Web Usage (NEW)
• P-EL: Print-Usage (NEW)
• SR-EL: Sell the Rights (NEW)

Unfortunately Dreamstime has suspended their Canvas and Poster printing activities (Refer to my previous post). Although this was still in Beta phase, apparently it didn't work out all that well. Anyhow, Dreamstime is a microstock agency and as long as it keeps representing us and as long as customers are downloading our images, we all are happy.
I have some other things in mind to put here, but I'll keep those for a next time.




Take care!

Light & shadow

One of my better photographs and at the same time one of my favorites is now available at Dreamstime. This image was taken at the balcony of the hotel when I was in Florence.

For those who would like to have this image (or other images from my portfolio for that matter) printed as poster or on canvas to liven up their walls, just visit this link and select the pink tab "Order print", which you can find next to the image There you can see the different sizes and the prices. One condition though, you have to be registered to have access. So, just click on one of the Dreamstime logos on this blog and then click on the Green "Sign up for Free" button.

Note that the Dreamstime watermark will not be on the final print of course ;-)

Thanks & take care!

Every microstock contributor will confirm: finding one of your images being published on the internet or in a magazine is good news! Well, today I traced back one of my mine that was sold recently.

I found a tip about the way to try to find back your downloaded images; a Google search gave no results, but the recently launched Bing engine from Microsoft made my day :-) Here is the place to be:http://www.emuse-zine.com/Jun2009/page28a.html Just scroll down a bit...

Next to mine, www.emuse-zone.com publishes much more images from Dreamstime going from the photos used for their banners till the images used for guiding the poetry. The site mainly covers selected poetry, reviews of fiction and art, etc.

New collections

Everything still goes well on Dreamstime. After one month of not uploading images at DT, June was a good month for photography: the weather was good, a lot of activities were going on and will be keeping to go on during the summer. My next goal is to reach a portfolio of 100 online images by the end of the month.

Next to my 2 public collections that I've created earlier ( African wildlife and Australia) I created 2 private collections:

• Food and beverages
• Public events

Both still need to grow, but at least it's a gathering place for some subjects.

Here is some teaser from the food and beverages collection.

Welcome all to this new blog!

As said already at the introduction of this site: photography, microstock, travel will be the main topics of this one. My microstock business started by reading an article by Perrush on BelgiumDigital's forum.

To give you already a sample of my popular images on Dreamstime, have a look at the following image:
