MY Adobe FTP did not connect to Xpiks.. how to slove this issue i am searching this from last 7 days but unable to solve this . Are you have idea wil you help me alway i see password or useer namee did not corect even i have just copy paste it

I use 18-35 sigma on c100 mkii. If I mount this 50-100 sigma will it damage mount on rail system or should I attach to small shoe on lens?

Why do all the photos in these types of videos look like bad hdr calendar photographs?

What's the DSLR?

Just don't understand what is going on with her,her logdregs,and her all of a sudden black clothes, tattoo design,she looked so much better before her makeover,I wonder if she realises how she looks now

Sorry a bit confused, what about the model releases? Once I upload from Xpiks to those stock sights, do I then go to those sites to ONLY upload the releases? I don't understand how I can upload my videos with keywords if there is NO release attached.

Great content for you tutorial, thank you so much for this very useful work ! And all comments down here go the very same way... that tells enough about the quality you provided. Very well done indeed !

I own one as well. The lock works at (all) marked focal lengths 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, & 600

Thanks! There was no mention on the xpiks site that I could see that it outputs .csv files. So now I know I can also import into Deepmeta to upload to Getty ESP iStock.

I am definitely buying the 150 - 600 mm after trying it on my Camera. It's fantastic and sharp. It is certainly a better proposition costwise and flexible. I am sure there are many brand snobs out there that just have to have that Canon Branding, but hey, that is why Canon lenses are more expensive.

Great video I actually preferred the photoshop edit, but if you lightened the sky in the lightroom edit they would be near identical

Hi Dewald kan jy my moontlik kontak dit is oor video materiaal. Elmarie 0825323801

Hi I've just bought one of these, and I was just wondering if you ever got around to updating it with the USB Dock, and if it made much difference. Thanks.

Wow love this 👍👍👍

What called supresors

Interesting talk!

lol nobody saw this shit

Hi...which software to be used for photo processing and editing

Why don't you show how to do this with 3 images? Ambient/dark/light. 2 images is easy.

Hi, can you tell about the sharpneas of nisi filters? Specially the corners

Jesus judt shoe us the photos You don't half woffle on

Great video, exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

You should have made the images more exact, you have to move them up and down to see the same part of the frame. In the comparison of the "warranty void if removed" it seems apparent that the two images are focused on different parts of the object. Look at the screw to the left of the sticker, it looks significantly sharper on the Sigma. You could say the Sigma is "definitely definitely sharper" in regards to that region of the object.

Will this work with a cannon 650 d

Thanks Dewald.

Hi, great informative video thanks. I've just recently started using shutterstock myself and will probably move onto others too. I was wondering, do image descriptions affect search results? If so it would probably be better having as long a description as possible? Thanks

Very beautiful photos, very interesting to see, like it....

Thanks for having me loved chatting with you today!

i still dont really understand the video uploading process. could you explain it more in another video? great informative video btw. cheers

Love this. "Calm down. Look at your offering" - Sage advice when things are tough. I love the notion of doing something to move forward. Great interview.

Thanks for this. I first heard about Bernard last year after moving to France but couldn't find very many interviews of his. Really enjoyed the chat. Keep well.

That was a Awsome interview. Very informative.

Keep the good work up .

Hilarious interview. Thanks. Do you think Ian could help me research which camera my great grandfather used? Do you have his contact details?

Baie danki Dewald, ek het dit baie geniet. Alti en Dirk is amazing

Do you upload footage? If so how do you deal with cvs file from xpiks for example for 123RF?

More hairsplitting.....pointless !!!! Apples to oranges....and all example differences are most likely circumstantial.....and also fixable in post ...not to mention " sharpness"....is not the only important outcome to a good photo !!

Volgende slag, neem bietjie van die natuur ook af - ons weet nou hoe julle lyk!

what ball head are you using?

Is possible to upload vector via Xpiks in DREAMSTIME... Bcz DREAMSTIME need supported JPEG file of EPS file. If it's possible how to upload

Thank you!

What you said about this lens only being for amateurs is Not true. The optics and sharpness are almost identical to the more expensive sport version. Yes the sport version is weather sealed and has an all metal barrel. But the contemporary is far from some cheap prosumer lens that cant be used for professional shooting. I'm a published photographer and I've used both the Contemporary and Sport versions. I found the contrast and sharpness to be almost identical. The contemporary is well made and can definitely be used for professional shooting. I shoot landscapes and wildlife. One simple reason I prefer this over the Sport version, it weighs less and when hiking for miles, it makes a difference. I get the same quality from the Contemporary as the Sport version. In some situations focusing seems faster on the Contemporary. So I disagree with your statement that this lens is some cheap prosumer version only for amateurs to take photos of their families...

Dankie Dewald, goed gedoen. Ek het iets by geleer

Are you grower from South Africa?

Hiya Dewald…!! thank you very much for you very informative video about Xpiks ..!!! Jus wondering if Xpiks can save your " last sesión "... with all the pictures and keywords ect . I know it does but only I found for a few sesions and just wondering how we could recover a sesión I created of airplanes last year ...say. I hope am making some sense here. Any how ..many thanks for sharing info mate and well done…..cheeerrrssss

So how did you shoot the under water bits??

Thanks I appreciated that. I have been taking photos for many years but now eventually at 58 I am interested in not only stock photography but also printing and selling myself via my own website. All info will be greatly appreciated. I am based in Pietermaritzburg in Natal so could even give you a call sometime if that were possible. I have not established a website yet and am also not very clued up as to how to go about it.

Hello Dewald! For months, I have been following your channel and the channel of others who are talking about stock photography. I definitely have learned so many useful things that I have put into good use. I'm grateful for the many wonderful and practical advice. So, since starting about 6 months ago, and with about 1,700 plus and growing photos, I am on track to receive my first minimum payout from Shutterstock in the amount of $35. This is what I am getting after 6 months worth of dogged work. Now, most likely, my photos are either bad or irrelevant that's why I'm not earning more. You be the judge. Go and see my photos on Shutterstock. But what I really want to say is that I have noticed one thing that no one from KZfaq or anywhere else talks about. And that is the cost of an Internet subscription on top of the cost of equipment and time. How many of you are on an unlimited fast Internet without overage fees? I'm on a DSL plan that caps on 150GB a month with $50 fee for every additional 10GB of use. Last billing cycle, I forked more than $350 to pay for my Internet service, mainly due to uploads to Shutterstock and others. In the previous months since I started submitting to stock agencies, my bill was anywhere between $250 to $300. So, on average of 6 months, I will have made $35 from Shutterstock, and would have spent around $1,500 in Internet service alone, not counting the equipment (cameras, lenses, computers, accessories, etc.), and the time invested. Does that sound like a good business to you? Now, of course, I've made inquiries from other Internet service companies in my area for unlimited fast Internet service without over-limit fees and all sort of fees. So far, in my neck of the woods, there's nothing. I tried using my cell phone's already expensive mobile hotspot feature of the "unlimited" cellular plan, turns out, I'm only actually allowed 10GB of blazing fast internet hotspot sharing, and after that, I'm unceremoniously downgraded to a 2G speed service. So that didn't quite work out. Imagine how long it will take to upload all those photos. My computer will be consigned 24/7 to uploading pictures and will probably never ever cartch up or finish if I hope to upload so many pictures! (Remember, we've been gleefully forwarned by more than one KZfaqr that "This is a numbers game! And we've willfully taken that warning to heart.) So, ok, any solution to this kind of situation? Quit? What?
