I’ll start to report on this monthly now, instead of weekly, however, I’m entering into my 4th week and am now registered with the following sites and have so far sold 9 photos for a very small sum. I’ve also got a total of 93 photos submitted across these sites – some will accept photos…

Photo site
You may not be aware I have another website showing and selling my photos. The site is called PhotosByKathie.com and this is where I list photos I’ve taken at mountain bike (mtb) races to sell to those participating and other events. Many of my stock images are available there as well as a list of…
Submitting to Stock Photos Sites III
Thought I’d report in and let you know how things are going. If you’re into photography have you tried out iSyndica yet? I discovered this week that not all the stock photo sites actually notify you when a sale has been made so imagine my surprise when I logged in yesterday to iSyndica and discovered…
Playing with Photoshop
I’ve been having fun with some of my photos and playing with photoshop. I wanted to find out how to put speech bubbles on my photos. I had to download an add-on and install the style into Photoshop, and Photoshop Editor too. I’m uploading a number of photos to my account at Send Out Cards…
Photos at Lonely Planet
Got an email this morning to say my photo is being used in their mosaic. In fact, when I checked, they’re using two photos – one for Australia and one for the US, both the centre images, i.e. the Puffing Billy on the Trestle Bridge and also the Sea Princess in Glacier Bay.
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites II
Well, the end of my first full week with 85 images submitted to 5 photo sites. Interesting experience. Not all of the photo sites work with the same criteria for photos so while some accepted all, or nearly all images, others would knock them back because they were ‘too snapshotish’ (not sure exactly what they…
Submitting to photo stock sites
I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent researching stock photography sites, reading articles, reading about photo submissions, submitting, creating keywords and choosing categories, getting rejected and waiting for the ‘wait time’ before starting all over again. But I would say the time spent would add up to some weeks of ‘working or awake’…
Photos now available at Shutterstock
I’ve recently had photos accepted at Shutterstock which I am thrilled about. My latest images for sale at Shutterstock: My most popular images for sale at Shutterstock: You can see the rest at http://www.shutterstock.com/g/kathiemt I’ll be adding to them regularly.
Project 365
I’ve been participating in a project – to take a photo a day for 365 days. I actually take a couple thousand every month so can manage that ok, or can I? There was one day I completely forgot early in the year and more recently I’ve been sick with the flu so just didn’t…
Winner for my "Year Today" post
Thanks for those who commented for my anniversary post. It’s nice to see what photos you’ve enjoyed. Unfortunately there can only be one winner and that person is Lisa Olinda. Seems my kookaburra images have sparked conversation in her US based home. I’ll be organising to send a copy of the photobook to Lisa by…
Project 365
I belong to the Australian Photography Forum and also Project 365 where it means taking a photo a day. I take more than just one a day but struggle to get them all uploaded every day. However this link will lead you to some of the shots I have tagged for Project 365 which is…
A year today
It’s a year today that I started writing this particular blog. I did have a photoblog at Blogger but decided to get more serious with it and set one up on my own server using WordPress. It’s gone through many looks since those days and I’ve improved with my photography as well. I’d love you…
