Eggs and baskets

As the saying goes, you shouldn't put all of your eggs in one basket. Well, that's what I'm doing right now with PhotoShelter. Not to mention its a growing basket and they're still working on getting the word out.

Now I know I don't have a ton of stock quality pictures available yet. Still, I believe I should investigate another avenue for sales. Following this line of thinking I have applied today at Alamy.

Alamy has some interesting requirements. The most interesting is that they want the images that you submit to be 48MB+ when uncompressed. Well my Rebel XT is a 10MP camera, you can see a disparity there. Here's where it gets strange, they have no problem with you resampling, all they care about is the quality in the end result.

So I picked four and upsized them and shot them up to Alamy. Now it's time to sit and wait through another approval process.
