In action - condiments.

I found another of my photos in action. This time a Russian site, article about food.

My first ever Extended License sell.

Today the sales were rolling quite slowly, when it happened just to save the day - my first ever P-EL (Print Usage Extended License) sell. And that's the image:



I wonder where it will be used ...

2000th Uploaded !

Another serious milestone reached - today I uploaded my 2000th photo on Dreamstime. It was one of my Beach Barbecue series which went through inspection in almost 100%.

Time to target another thousand :)

Apple iPod

I finally got my DT Assignment prize - Apple iPod 80GB. I wrote a blog entry on DT about it, so let me just direct you there.

Chelsea fan

Let me tell you, I am quite proud of these two shots. Partly because the technicals (lighting), partly because I was able to catch some emotions Adam was full of. And thanks to Editorial license DT has recently introduced I was even able to put those two up for sale. I hope you'll like them.

Hands on the book

I felt I needed to revisit the short series I took some time ago. It proved to be quite successful, so I hired my better half to do the posing with the book. The lighting setup was basically the same, with the snooted flash and reflective glass table. I hope these shots will also find ther way to sell :)

Woman with cup of coffee

The idea of thi series came to me as a complete surprise. My wife was wearing a blouse of the same colour as the cup. I shot it and then we thought she could change the clothes and the cups, as we have several colours of both :) All of the colourful cups here.

Here we are:

Stitched panoramas

I am often asked how I make those panoramic shots. Well, there are various ways, you can try PS CS3 for that, they say it has significantly improved compared to CS2. There's a nice feature allowing you to export a panorama as a normal size photo which can be scrolled. A fine way to present panoramics online.

I recommend PTGUi software, it's highly intuitive and automatic. When you have good base photos, everything should go smoothly.

Motocross and quads series

Beautiful Sunday morning. My friends took me with them to some motocross riding. The seaside woods are just ideal for that.
I used two lenses for that, first, my new baby, 90mm 2.8 and wide Sigma 10-20 for more dramatic look.
There were also two quads, and because I produced quite a few shots of them, I decided to arrange them into a collection, here it is. All the photos from the series are in my Sports collection though.

A few examples:

Celebrating my 2000th download

Yup, I've made it! Or, it'd be better to say, the clients made me make it:) I have reached my 2000th download on Dreamstime! Time to celebrate! Or, maybe I should look around for another piece of gear? ;)

The lucky 2000th image was one which got downloaded for its first time, though it's been in my collection for quite a time.
