iStock photo informed me today, based on the three images I submitted as an application to become a contributing photographer to their stock collection, that I'm not quite ready for the job. At first this stung, as you might imagine, but I think I'll use that as motivation to improve and to re-evaluate whether I want to be beholden to a subjective panel of judges to determine whether I can sell images. Part of me says that customers--those that are in the market to buy images--should make that decision. On the other hand, these judges have been playing this game for a while and maybe the three images I submitted were not likely to sell. In any case, I have three days to resubmit my application and I'm taking a little time to consider. I may ask to reapply in six months instead.
And to take my mind off of all that for a while, I did another water study. Good thing we have a big sink where all this water can land:
50 mm, 1/400th of a second, f/11, ISO 200, 2 snooted speedlights 90 degrees to the camera left and right.
