Photography – Stock photos on bigstock.

2011-02-01 1 min read Photo

Couple of days back, one of my friends suggested that I put my photos on bigstock also along with my site at http://shop.amit-agarwal.co.in . I thought, let me give it a try and created a account on bigstock. After creating the account, I have so far submitted 5 images and four of them got rejected.

The rejections did not de-motivate me, in-fact this has taught me a lot of things. Some things that I did not know before I submitted my photos there. So, I am going through a new learning and this has cost me 80% rejection in bigstock. I am trying with few more photos in next few days and probably I will get a better idea of what is required in the photos. Hope to get the tricks of the trade soon. BTW, another way you can help me keep this blog alive is by buying my photos cheap at bigstock and here is the link to my photo :

Here are photos of my office on 20/Nov at 3AM in the morning. This is taken in the moonlight.

Sorry, the quality of the photo is not that good as the photo was taken from my mobile Samsung Omnia Pro, did not have my DSLR with me that time.

Working with photos in Linux is very easy with lots of viewers/editors/managers and what not. Not that there are not many options in Windows but most of them are not free. BEST case scenario is that you might get a evaluation version (i.e. if you do not use pirated/cracked version) of software‘s. Me, being completely against pirated and cracked version or evaluation version (if not, planning to buy the same) like the freedom of choice with Linux.

Photo Compositing with the GIMP

Basing from my previous <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/gimp" title="GIMP" rel="homepage" href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP article titled Creating Pseudo-3D Imagery with GIMP, you learned how to do some basic selection manipulation, gradient application, faking <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/depth_of_field" title="Depth of field" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field">Depth of Field, etc. In line with that, I’m following it with a new article very much related to the concepts discussed therein but we’ll raise the bar a bit by having a glimpse on <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/compositing" title="Compositing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing">compositing, where we’ll use an existing <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/image" title="Image" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image">image or <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/photograph" title="Photograph" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photograph">photograph and later add in our <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/dimension" title="Dimension" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension">2-dimensional element seamlessly with the said picture.
