I was wondering if any of you photographers have ever heard or used istockphoto.com before?

It is a website where photographers upload their pictures and then people can buy the picture for a buck or two, and the photographer gets a little bit of that money. It seems like a pretty decent deal for making a few bucks here and there for something you are already doing. I kinda want to do it just to see if somebody would pay for one of my pictures, I would be happy if one person downloaded one of pictures. I know coomer and BLINKYxMUNKEY has a lot more skill then I do and I've seen some other people here like to take pics too. If anybody has used it speak up and give some advice to if it's really worth it. If anything it is something to check out if you ever need some great pics for something.

oh yea I took this pic last night at like 4am because I was bored and thought it looked decent. What do you guys think?

I use it to BUY photos...really greats prices and selection!



I guess you need to sell alot to actually make money on that though

Ya. I buy photos. I think there is some sort of minimum on the $$$ amount you must earn before you collect, and it takes a bit to get there I believe. It is a very well used photo site, lots of buyers. Let us know how it turns out if you do it.

That is pretty cool that you guys have even heard of it. I know I want much money if any but figured if I submit 10 decent pics and get 5 people to download each pic that is $10 for doing something I like to do. I'll let you know if it works out or not

i thing you could make some money for your pics
just curious, what kind of camera are you using if anything special?

Thanks

Nothing too special. Just a Canon Rebel XT with a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens.
