Pinternetting

This morning I went on the pinternet and also read a bit of the November 08 Shutterbug Magazine which arrived in my Zinio reader today.

I also heard back from Fotolia on the photos I submitted to them yesterday.

The following were rejected because the quality (which includes focus and composition) wasn't good enough:

• Clothes hanging on washing line
• Packet of pills with 4 popped out
• Bottle of pills (Top down view Black BG)
• Bottle of pills (Top down view White BG)

The following were rejected because they didn't think it was the type of photos their customers would be looking for:

• Paint peeling off brown tiles (old cinema in Brighton)
• Energy saving bulb in lampshade (reflection on black plastic sheet)

The following were rejected because they already have lots of similar images:

• Pine panel (Ikea shelf)
• worn wood panels (top of stool)
  

The following were accepted:

• £10 note origami crane
• Cappuchino/Mocca Froth
• Bottle of pills spilling out
• Pills spread out on black background
• Pills/capsules on a lightbox
• Falling pills
• Coloured glues in glass jar
• Coloured glues
• Glitter glues
• House Roofs

I am kind of surprised at the top down views of the bottle of pills being rejected since I thought those images were alright. So far I have submitted 24 images to Fotolia, of which 13 have been accepted, so about 50% acceptance rate at the moment. I have only sold 1 image so far, which was a large size and netted me about 50p.

Stockxpert have approved all the images I submitted yesterday apart from about 4 which are still awaiting approval. I haven't sold any images through them yet.

It's a plain grey sky today and rainy, similar weather to yesterday except it didn't rain so much yesterday.

After lunch I went on the pinternet a bit more and watched Vantage Point, which was reasonably good.

After dinner I watched 2 episodes of Prison break and an episode of The Office (US).
