    Yeah we have heard of this site. General idea is that our time, knowledge, skill, talent, art, whatever you want to call it is worth a hell of alot more than $0.20. Just ask Shay. :D

    Not to be snippy or anything but sites like that make it hard for photographers to get fair pay for their work.

    agreed, that's why my best work doesn't go there.... I have tons of images sitting on my drive, doing nothing, I'm really not even trying to sell them, these are the ones I upload ;)

    ...I'm sure you got planty of thouse images! you don't sell each and every image right???

    ....a couple of weeks ago, I took a shot of grass, green grass, that was dowloaded 15 times since lol that's $0.20x15 for a shot that normally would be deleted.

    Stock photography and art photography two different things in my mind.

    what do you think?

    I think you've posted 6 times, each with a special deal. You're here trolling, not to participate. I think you should go away.

    you kinda off the subject.

    thank you, you make newcomers very welcome. Altho I don't post frequently, I browse a lot and get a lot of usefull info..... I don't like to post when I can find an answer searching.... does the rules in the forum requires me to post??? I don't think so.

    before going around accusing people, think.

    now, on the topic, do you have an opinion or not?

    Here's my take on it...

    If I dont think the image is of the quality I want to present, I wont present it. If I do think it is worth presenting, 20 cents aint gunna get it.

    I also think that the link you post here, including the code at the end, is a referal link for you, and if any of us follow that link and sign up, you get money. I dont know that I would have a problem with that if you told us thats what the link was, but you didn't.

    I dont think super cheap stock images are good for photographers in general. People dieing to have their work noticed or published give their photos away for next to nothing which just makes it harder for people to really break into the business.

    I think we are happy to hear from people that take part in the forum and are willing to share their thoughts, ask questions, and eventually share their work.

    People that come here just to try and scam a buck, get no more of my time.

    David is right.

    Yea... If we can call this a SCAM, I think this thread should go away.
