Since 2010

Thank so much! One of my favorites also 😁

Thanks so much! That was my favorite as well, I like the slow mo and more detailed shots. Thanks again for the comment!

🤣 gotta keep it light and fun sometimes, not like the people who run 100 miles, thats too serious. maybe 50 miles, but that still doesn't sound like fun 😅

@@wollertz 🤣

Thanks Paul! This was a fun experiment 😁

Thank so much!

Awesome! thanks so much!

Thanks so much Greg! that was my favorite also, more slow motion and "stock" style clips, Im uploading 10 - 10seconds clips I got from the making of this video to stock, so lets see what happens 😁

You are welcome! Hope it helps! 😁

Perfect! It takes time and dedication, but it is possible!

Welcome aboard! Thanks so much. Stock is a greta way to dive into photography and make some extra cash form your travels. 🙌🏼

@@wollertz Cheers, thank you!

Thanks so much! No preference as long as the composition is strong. Keep in mind that Stock is for advertising, so leaving a bit of text space is more important than the aspect ratio. With that said remember to include both verticals and horizontals, you might end up in a magazine somewhere 😁

@@wollertz Great, many thanks once again!

Hi thanks, I believe mostphotos cando bank transfers and paypal, im not sure. as far as descriptions and titles yes they are necessary. If you need help I can recommend AI tools to simplify this process. Im Stocker Studio: store.payproglobal.com/r?u=imstocker.com&a=12400 Im Stocker Vision: store.payproglobal.com/r?u=vision.imstocker.com&a=12400

100% I do notice that I. keep wanting to get closer and closer 😅. My macro is great, but somehow not enough 🤣

Thanks Paul! I will make another video soon 😅

Thank you! 😁

Of course! Hope it helps!😁

Look up I’mstocker, they have studio starting at 30 a year, or keywords for free. If you decide to purchase a plan I have links in recent videos 😁

Wow 😮 things change quickly

Ive never used the Raynox but they look very similar 🤷‍♂

Used by most macro sh0oters. But probably different price tag ​@@wollertz

I have never used the Raynox, but based on the specs they are very similar 🤷‍♂️

Thank so much!

Now that I think about it, I did not 😅 I must have gotten lucky with that one 😁

Yes! Thank you. You can use it for almost anything. It’s literally a magnefying glass for your lens, so depending on how long of a lens and what the minimum focusing distance is, it will enhance it. Thanks so much for the comment!

@@wollertz Sure Thing ! Thanks 😊 for the videos, they are always entertaining and very informative !!

Sure thing! I’ll try in a variety of situations and lighting conditions 🤷‍♂️

If you consider tokina a proper lens…sure let’s go with that. A proper macro for under $500…

@@wollertz It works well for it's users, so it's "Proper" enough I would say. No need to break the bank - and after all, you started the video with extension tubes... Thank you.

Theres many options that wont break the bank, like Extension tubes, reversing rings, Snap on rings like the one in my latest video. That doesn't make them the best quality, and If you are getting good quality form Tokina then congratulations. I will keep using what I consider to be a proper set up 🤷‍♂️

@@wollertz Also, we must realize that when a hobbyist purchases an item for his hobby, he/she cannot deduct it as a "Business expense" with the IRA.

@@usernamemykel If you sell photos in Stock sites then thats income. I'm no tax expert, but my accountant was able to deduct tools I used to generate income

Thanks Paul! It is a good accessory, I haven’t had the time to use it properly but so far I am impressed 😁

It is! 😁 That fog machine is awesome!

I do! 😅 I will have to get one to fit my everyday camera the infrared is fine but not great for this 😁

Great! Keep going! Keep in mind that it will take 15000 images to see results, so don't give up yet!

Ok Sir Thank you so much

Wow! Thank you so much!

Collier state park

From multiple sites, but not all of them let me track the collections. I believe this was Shutterstock

Great! Thanks so much! 😁

My pleasure!

Found it! neewer.com/products/neewer-ls-40-43mm-hd-macro-lens-66603476?variant=47546654359745

@@wollertz Thanks for the link. I purchased the bigger one. Still could find it, with out the link of name of the product.

I will add the name and link in the description! Thanks!

I will add it to my list 😅 I have some on focus stacking for macro, but not for landscapes

Yes, I’m the full video.

@@wollertz you're the full video? What does that mean?

@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle 😂 in, the answer is in the full video

@@wollertz What video?

The source video with the map

There’s always a way to add more 😁

People keep saying this about stock, yet it’s still paying my mortgage 🤷‍♂️

@wollertz depends on when you got in and how big your archive is. Yes it's possible if you got in before the free sites, but not really for anyone starting out today.

I have friends that started in 2020 and it’s their full time job now. 🤷‍♂️ there’s always oportunity if you do it right

🤣 Theres one place that comes to mind 🤣

@@wollertz I knew you'd say something like that 🤣😂

@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle 😂

Thanks! I have links to the agencies I use, but the best performance so far comes from shutterstock, Adobe and Getty

Absolutely no problem, if you shoot non editorial images you can upload to both agencies. But yes, at the moment Adobe is only accepting illustrative editorials without people. Best of luck!

@@wollertz Hi. I use editorial on shutterstock because in my opinion (I don't know if it's wrong or not) as I put editorial only those who really want it will buy it and not people who buy packages and then maybe sell them as if they were theirs like what happens in Adobe stock. Thanks

@@wollertz My fear is that someone will download my photos and use them as if they were their own and in the editorial option only those who are interested can buy them and can also buy the same editorial photo in the commercial option. My photos and videos are from my travels and everyday life and as I'm afraid someone will "steal" them, I make them as editorials. The AI ones, as they are made by the program, I'm not so afraid of someone but "stealing" them and I've already noticed that unfortunately Adobe Stock takes forever to accept normal photos and the AI ones are almost instantaneous. Does anything else in your images use upscale? If so, what programs do you use? Thanks

@@bananaukra3235 that’s everyone’s fear, but the agencies protect you against theft the best they can, we have to trust them if we want to succeed. I haven’t done much upscaling at all, if I do I use photoshop, but for the most part it’s pretty straight forward 🤷‍♂️

@@wollertz I saw videos of people using Leonardo Ai to do uspcaling, that's why I was asking you. What I do is cut the images and upload them. I don't use photoshop or lightroom. I don't like doing retouches like that on photos, maybe that's why I haven't sold any editorial photos yet. Images ia, I already sold some Thanks

One or two of the agencies said that, but most of them took the photos 🤷‍♂️

Awesome! Thanks so much and best of luck!

You are very welcome! I wish you great luck! Thanks so much for h for the comment

100% Different levels to this stock thing, no need to loose interest, focus on what you like and be great at it!
