Microstock Photography

There's already a couple other microstock blogs out there. Not gonna try and compete with them either. What I am going to do is just track my own progress. For example. This shot was playing around with specular highlights ala strobist and an attempt at stock photography.

As of this writing, this image, which I do consider a little flat and has a bit too shallow a depth of field, has been accepted at 123RF. Fotolia has turned it down, it didn't make it for my first submission at Shutterstock and the other sites are having a much slower review cycle so it's still pending at several others.

Anyway, I'm not hoping to strike it rich with microstock, but it'd be interesting if I could pull in a few hundred dollars a month. I'll track my progress here.
