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!

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:

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.

Action on Dreamstime

This month has been a good one for my microstock business. Everything is relative of course, so with "good one", I mean compared with previous months :-) The number of downloads is increasing, so that's the important thing. Needless to say that in this stage I've been also frequently confronted with a rejection. A bit frustrating, when the picture which I thought would be definitely accepted, turned out the have some flaws. But I see it as a learning process.

I also noted that some of my uploads have been put in collections, which is a good thing as this leads to a bigger viewer audience, and to an increasing potential download market as well :-)

Here are 3 examples of the pictures that were recently downloaded:
