The one where I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, ate low-carb, and got a squat rack…
You may see some of my older videos still floating around here! Those tell the story of regaining my health after being diagnosed with Celiac disease back in 2023. This was after many years of health issues. I talk about going gluten free, but also eating low-carb and working out. I wouldn’t be able to be doing what I do now without having gone through all of that. I’ve kept some of those videos up since they could potentially help someone. ❤️

Five Gluten-Free Myths You NEED to Stop Believing #glutenfree
I forgot the process to upload on 123rf. Rules are different from others... I think preview file, main file zip...
Yeah, I find 123rf a bit awkward with the uploading. I feel like when I do upload there, I have trouble finding the files! Either way, not having luck getting any reviewed there lately, so I'm wondering if they maybe won't be accepting new content soon. :(
Thanks for sharing your sales - you've given me new inspiration for new stock photos (I promise not to copy your images, just inspiration).
Thank you! Yay!!!! I'm glad I was able to inspire you a bit! (No worries about copying me - LOL)
good job Erin
Thank you!
Hi Erin. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Greg!
Thanks for sharing this! Edited my question out because you answered it haha 😅
No worries!
Hi Erin! So I convinced the doctors to grant me "Parole" and I was discharged from the hospital. Again. Part 3 . . . The musical!!! 😂 They had to operate on my neck again but found the problem . . . Infected hardware from the OR. 3 infectious disease docs said that's the only way it could've possibly happened. I'm thrilled that you had such a good month with your earnings!! That rocks!!! Congratulations!!! Once this infection and inflammation pain subsides, I'll get out and start making more stock images. I've no clue when that'll be, but it won't be soon enough!!! Have a great day!!! Randy PS . . . I'm assuming y'all are rooting for the Jets to beat my Steelers tonight, right? How cool would THAT be?! Going to a game to take editorial stock shots?! Bucket list!!!! 📷 🏈 📸
Well here's to hoping the 3rd time is a charm! Time to get out there and start taking photos! Jets? Steelers? I can't even tell you who won that game, if that tells you anything - LOL. My husband is a Jets fan. I just like the local teams to win!
Hi Erin. I saw you spoke about the program that you use but is possible please do one video only about the program since you make one account until we have all the information please. Greetings from a Portuguese follower
Hi! That is on my list of videos to create!
@@ecadphoto Thanks Erin
Lots of great information in this video. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful!
I have finished my first month in stock photography and I got me 2 images licensed! ehehehh YAY £0.20 ! And one of them was something I took on that mindset, I will take it and put out there, "just because" but it will never be get by no one! I went to a coffee shop and I had to use the toilet, and it was not looking the cleanest, so I was like, hey... a stock photo of a public dirty toilet, I will get it out there. My surprise to wake up one of these days to a sale on that LOLOLOL
LOL - Yes, so true. The ones you just take to take, and don't expect to sell are usually the ones that sell! I guess that's the stock mindset!
3:00 720p?
Yup. I work with what I have!
Well, you've got a stock grade cameras, but recording this with video baby monitor, why?
😂
Hello Erin, are the boardgame and sheetmusic photos editorials?
The boardgames are editorial, the sheet music is not. Looking back, I find it interesting. Even though the music is no longer copyrighted and the print is generic, I'm guessing it would not get approved nowadays. It was accepted across several sites years back!
Hello Lady . I am thinking to switch towards shutterstock . Have a nice day . Greetings from Wfrance . ☀️☀️
Every little bit adds up. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your feedback. ☀️☀️
I shoot some video using Nikon Z8 and Z6 using viewfinder, with Canon R5 and R6 is the way to go. I dont like to look at the back display for video or photo.
I need to try shooting video on my DSLR using a shorter lens. The few times I've tried, I had a long lens and no tripod or other way to stabilize the camera. Needless to say, it gave me motion sickness watching the clips!
Great video
Thank you!
Nice video.
Thanks!
Hi Erin. Great video. Care to share what lens you use for your wildlife photography?
Yes! This was something I should have mentioned in the video, but thought about after. I've been taking out my 70-200 f2.8 in the mornings to get more light. Since I'm shooting on a 5D Mark IV, I have a lot of room to crop, and also can use enlarging software if necessary (I use Gigapixel by Topaz). I sometimes use my 100-400 f4.5-5.6, but have found that at the longer focal lengths, the variable 5.6 aperture was just pushing it too much. I always prioritize my shutter speed, keeping my aperture as wide open as possible, while using auto ISO. This became an issue with the 100-400 and not enough light. Shots were sometimes too noisy to salvage. Hope that helps!
What software is that, that gives u such information ?
It’s Microstockr. (No E!) I’ve been using it for years and it really does provide soooo much information.
So I'm watching this one from the hospital, too. Neck surgery last week and now an abscess in there, so I'm in for awhile. But I'm still enjoying your videos, Erin! And I WILL get back to shooting stock (hopefully?) SOON. This was outstanding info that I wasn't aware of. A lot of it truly surprised me. Re: Events for stock photography, someone once told me, "If you pay admission, seek permission." Thank you again for the advice and tips! Have a good one! Randy (edited to fix small typos)
Oh no! I like that quote, makes a lot of sense - “Pay admission, seek permission.” Hoping 2025 is a better year for you!
The Eiffel Tower at night with the lights showing is a definite no.
Such a contrast that during the day you can photograph and submit commercially. The rules are very interesting!
bad quality video jerky move on to something better
Yes, there were issues making this video.
I just found your channel and im really enjoying it. Im a motion designer and i sell mostly videos and animations to adobe stock, your channel encourage me to start uploading more photos. Greetings from Argentina. :)
Awesome! Thank you for watching and keep uploading! If you have any ideas for content you’d like to see, drop another comment. :)
@@ecadphoto Well, i would love to see if you can post a video about generating images with Firefly Adobe and also uploading pictures taken with smartphones. :)
Keep sharing that info! Thank you so much :D
Thank you!
@ecadphoto I would advice thinking about coming up with some daily shorts. They are helping a lot with visibility and growing the channels in here nowadays 😉
I photographed some graffiti on a wall of a building that was going to be demolished. It was rejected because that piece of vandalism was someone else’s work.
Yup! I’ve heard this before!
@@Geneva742 it is called street art, not vandalism!
Hi Erin. The program that are you using is microstockr? Can you do a video about the program please. Thanks
Yes, I’m definitely a huge fan of the program and can do a video!
@@ecadphoto Thanks Lauren
Hi Lauren. Can you can do a video about ImStocker Studio? Since you put the photos until upload please. Thanks
I am still learning all of the ins and outs of the program and I’m not sure if I’m going to subscribe past the free trial. If I do, I will share more once I have mastered it!
@@ecadphoto Thanks Lauren. If not what program you advise?
I don’t know of other programs that do this, but there is probably something out there!
@@ecadphoto Thanks Lauren
Hi, do you only submit photos or you do video too?
I had a handful of videos up on Pond5 for several years and only sold one. Within the past few months, I’ve started submitting video elsewhere too and haven’t sold any yet!
i had someone on facebook years ago looking to buy my pictures and he was looking for my new york ones in stock but i didnt have any pics in stock.. he said he bought one with a bike and paid alot of money thinking it was mine. you just reminded me. thats truly weird. theres a lot of trickery in this buisiness. do you know the name of the person? i believe he erased his profile on facebook after a bit.
I’ve never found out! No info through the agency and could never find anything online either.
Do you sell videos in adobe stock?
Yes, but I only started submitting them there recently and haven’t sold any.
Thank you for sharing really honest video, which on RUclips sometimes just doesn't happen. Subscribed and liked 👍
Thank you so much!
Plz make a video on dreamtimes
Please tell me sence if image once approved then second time also get approval or one time approval
Are you asking if you can submit the same image more than once? You aren’t supposed to have duplicate images in your portfolio. Hope that helps!
I'm curious about the cruise ship. Are those editorial or illustrative editorial?
Hi! Yes, the cruise ship ones are editorial because of the logos and artwork. Interesting thing I found out, Carnival has a special shape to its funnel that is supposedly trademarked, so unmarked details of their ships containing that portion would not be ok for commercial use. I’ve learned to always research before submitting images! 😳
It would be nice for us small contributors if they just credited the royalty to the package we already subscribe to (PS and LR for me), It's the same company after all.
That would be a good option to have!
Hi Erin, thank you very much for sharing, how long do you have in stock?
I first started submitting in 2007, but to just a few agencies with a very small portfolio. I started to take it seriously in about 2013 or so.
Quantity of your image portfolio? Since when you have been doing it.
I have 3800 assets on Adobe. I’ve been with them since 2007, when they were Fotolia.
problem is those keywords app.. they're all not free.. 😢😢.. we.. the microstockers most of us are bum lol..
True, but I find they do help! Most of the time, I’m still doing the keywording myself, but if I’m having a moment when my brain isn’t functioning, I can go to the app and use my leftover credits! 😂
Those little ones like you used are awesome! Like you said it's great to save a little bit of money or to use when the store bought K-cups are gone (which is when I typically use it). Aaaaand I love the skull mugs by your coffee maker. I LOVE Halloween, and those mugs rock! Thanks Erin, and enjoy your coffee!! God knows it's one of my major food groups. (And donuts . . . We cops / former cops really do love our donuts.) ☕️ ☕️
“Major food group” 😂😂😂 Truth!
I love all animals and miss having dogs, but I do love our cats. And with 6 of them? 100% gonna be using those links to make a few purchases. Lol. Thank you!!!!
This is so good to know. Thank you, Erin!!
Can only one account on a desktop?Please reply
Do you mean an Adobe account? I believe you can have multiple accounts - for example, maybe one for your photos, one for AI, etc. Please check with Adobe to make sure.
I am talking about you adobe stock protfolio My photos are not being accepted for a long time, What is the reason for not accepting?
If you mean they are not getting reviewed, I don’t know. Some photographers think it may be the high number of AI images in queue. Try submitting some editorial images and see if they get accepted. My editorial images get accepted quickly, but my commercial images took several months.
Erin What's stock web that you usually sell your photos?
I submit to all of the main microstock sites - Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, iStock, Alamy, Dreamstime, Deposit Photos, Pond5
I have been using Adobe Stock the longest - about 7 years - and it is by far my worst performer. I also have the largest rejection rate with them. For example, a commercial cityscape that has sold nearly 400 times on iStock was rejected by Adobe as 'lacking commercial value' I still list with Adobe but tend more toward the AI realm with them and keep my 'real' photos with four other agencies.
I’ve definitely found that it depends on the photo. Certain ones sell great on one site and never on another. My illustrative editorial tends to do really well on Adobe. I do wish they’d accept other editorial work. I have so many images that sell well elsewhere that I wish they would take!
So I'm not gonna lie. I'm commenting after this video even though I haven't watch it yet. But I will!! You probably don't remember, but a few weeks ago, I was still trying to get outta the hospital after being diagnosed with Celiac and internal bleeding. Phone died with no charger, which totally sucked. But I finally made parole. So I'm gonna finally start with your 1st video on it, binge watch, take notes, etc, and eventually get caught up on your videos (including this one)!!! Have a good one and stay safe!!!! Randy
Of course I remember - another celiac photography! 😂 But seriously, thanks for watching my videos. I hope they can help In some way. Most importantly, I hope you’re feeling better. It gets easier!
@@ecadphoto, I'm feeling MUCH better thank you. Like a whole new person, honestly. Now to get out there and shoot some more . . . . 📷 📸
Great photos! I love those beach shots with NYC skyline in the distance!!
Thank you! Next time I’m going to get closer!
what sites do all those grainy distance ones get accepted too? I know adobe critiqued the hell out of my photos of candace.
Pretty much all of the agencies accept them. They are compressed and only 72 dpi for YT.
what about the name of the boat, does that require a release?
No, I only license them as editorial, so no release needed.
Those shots of NYC are cool!
Thank you! They don’t do the view justice. It is so wild from the beach!
It takes so long for Adobe to either pass or reject a submission. The submission can be months just sitting there.
I find this true with my commercial images. I just had a batch approved that had been in queue for over two months. My editorial ones, however, generally get approved in a day or two! AI are somewhere in between, but much faster than commercial.
It's been 3 months my all 500 assets are in reviews.. any suggestions??
What can I do now?? Upload assest on save work? Saving the work and uploading daily help in review??
@@abdullahghaffar6966 Do something else, it's not worth the time.
I’ve found that commercial images take a long time for approval nowadays. I just had ones approved that had sat for about 2.5 months. However, once approved, they are still selling. Editorial will likely be approved faster… AI a little faster. I’m not sure about uploading daily and saving work. I need to play around with that and see if a constant flow of images, versus a bulk submission, makes a difference. I’ve seen some people recommend that for just overall portfolio exposure and sales. Hope that helps!
It depends. For me, my images sell well and have made money even in the years I just let them sit on the stock sites. Adobe is an easy one to upload and submit to, so I will keep going!
