gwflash 1 Help: Logo Samples Submission

Hi all,


I have been trying to upload samples for the initial inspection of istockphoto's logo submissions.


I have created 3 Zipped files (as requested) and am able to open these on my machine in 2 separate archiving programs and then open each in Illustrator. However during the uploading process, they are not being accepted... I receive a message "Not a valid Zip file".


Has anyone else had any problems like this? If so, please let me know what I need to do to correct this problem.


Many thanks in advance.


Gordon

zofiap 3 iStockaudio: Marketing of iStock_Audio

Hi Guys,


I was just wondering about iStock's plans for marketing iStock_Audio. I subscribe to a few creative magazines and the photo side is always being advertised and promoted (free stock photos etc) and it got me thinking . . . is iStock planning something for us audio contributors? :) Can you give us the heads up?


Cheers


Zofia

taavet 4 iStockvideo: Red, GH1, 5D2 intercut

Pretty awesome. I am really surprised how well Panasonic GH1 held up compared to other two.


Red cam footage looked somehow dull and lacked contrast in low light shots.

Posted By EMPPhotography:
I had uploaded so many at first that I was taking a break. I bought some new equipment and I tried it out yesterday so today I been working on some of the images. I put a few in queue let's see how long that will take


Yeah, it seems to take up to 3-5 days at the moment even for exclusive images. Might be a side-effect of the iStockalypse in Istanbul right now and I hope it will improve again later next week...


And I know the "I've seen too much" feeling right now. I soooo feel in the mood to shot some more this week. But I said to myself that I will not set up any new shoots until I have at least the mass of images processed that I shot during the last three months.


I think I'm getting close to it with my Florida images (68 approved, 9 more in the queue, I think I will get maybe 15-20 more out of it). I hope I'll finish those next week. And then I have to move on to the pics I shot in Canada in August and two shoots I had here in June and September. :-)

GeorgeClerk 14 Submit Suggestions: Loupe everywhere
I love the fact that in the normal file listings (search results, browse recent etc) we can hover over files to see a good sized loupe thumbnail.

For me it'd be brilliant if the loupe was available everywhere that files are shown. For example, CN recent files, in our uploads listings, on thumbnails of related files that we link to on the file view page, on the newest uploads bit of the Vetta page etc...

I suppose there could be issues for users with limited bandwidth, but there's already the control panel option to exclude loupe view if needed.

If I remember right, the loupe was available from the small thumbs for the Punctum shortlist files, and it was great to be able to browse through them without loading up each page individually.

jimsdslr 18 Photography: shutter speed & noise

All interesting stuff but I think people have drifted from the origonal post by Jung Kang. Lots of things introduce noise/effect noise levels but his question is very specific he wants to know how "shutter speed" is effecting noise level. :)


Please share how shutter speed is effecting noise lavel.

QShot 21 Video: Wireless Microphones

It al depends on how much you want to spend. For example Calumet have the following:

As long as you stay with UHF you should be Ok - but avoid VHF - there are too many things that interfere with it.


Another thing to consider is a good shotgun microphone that you can point at the speaker but is wired directly to your camera.
