Well this is one of those shots that just wasn't planned and sort of happened. I looked thru the lend on my 5D this morning as I was going to shoot the sunrise and I see this staring back at me Well....the rest is history! I love abstraction in nature and am debating about possibly entering this in the Abstract Nature Photography Contest here on DA.. We shall see. Anyways, shot on my KM 5d, KM 18-200 f3.5 DT lens. Thoughts welcomed and print to come! Critique encouraged!
Hey, this is a pretty nice pic! In fact, come to think of it, you can probably sell it on a microstock photography website like the ones I listed below, under the nature search listing. I have been working on selling my own photos, and have several that were just listed the other day. It is a pretty cool system: companies can cut costs for photos by buying them from microstock sites rather than paying their own photographers, and you get paid every time an individual or company buys your photo(s). The signup for these kinds of accounts is free, and you get a cut of the pay. (the only reason it is free to register with them is because they take a portion of every sale.) Also, when a company buys your photo, they don't get the copyright, so they have to buy it a whole bunch of times, once for every time they use it! The photos never leave the microstock site, and will earn you passive income every time they sell for years to come. Exciting? Oh yeah! Have fun! (I would recommend bigstock the most, since they currently have a short waiting list for photo approval, and approvals are lightning fast!) Crestock and Shutterstock are tougher to get into since they have a skill level requirement, unlike the others, but will pay you a higher cut of your photo sales.) I would give it a go next time you find yourself with some free time, perhaps you will be a hit if you have more amazing photos like this one! Cheers! -Delkaoth [link][link][link][link][link]
Awesome! That is pretty cool that you are already involved with this. It is a pretty neat opportunity isn't it? Thanks also for the link, it answered a question I had been wondering about Well, have a great summer and have fun! -Revan
