Day Four: Getty Images

So, today's challenge is a little different.  I had applied some of my photos for istock/Getty to buy, you have to send 15 examples of your work with your application, and I got an email saying I've been approved. So today I went through about 4000 of my photos, narrowed it down to 100, roughly, renamed them all to be in similar categories, ran them through photoshop real quickly to make sure they were high resolution and the right size, and finally, FINALLY, submitted them today, after choosing 50 mostly water themed photos. Phew! Once they were uploaded to Getty I had to add a title, description,  and at least 5 tag words. Took me forever. Once I figured out what to do it was just repetitive and time consuming, not very difficult.  How many ways can you describe a rocky coastline, or a lighthouse at sunrise? That was the hardest part. So. Fingers crossed that my very first submission was processed correctly, I do live in the sticks and my WiFi comes and goes. Toes crossed that when they are reviewed they are approved, and eyeballs crossed that if they are approved they get bought by people. Lots of people. :) I'm hoping to catch the sunset tonight, so I'm off for some coffee, see if that'll get me moving. I should be going to the gym with my hubby, but pfft. Hope you have had an amazing day!!

Gotta love beautiful books from the dollar store, right? Adding it to my ginormous TBR list, but I couldn't resist, so pretty!  I've been reading more than photographing lately, just got discouraged with my camera, it doesn't take good shots of snow. Another reason to move south? I think so. However, it is now Spring, at least officially,  so I am going to go nuts with the camera pretty soon! Soooo excited! Also, my son is getting married in a few months, so I will be sharing lots of those kinda shots too. Am I too old to squee??? Puffy. I am doing it anyway.  Have an awesome day!!

Screw that.

Cold as heck here, the Pats lost the Superbowl so my hubby and my son's are all pouty. ( I'm a Jets fan, therefore I'm used to losing) So....this is how I'm spending today. Reading a good book and drinking a ton of coffee.  Writing blogs nobody reads and taking photos nobody else looks at is getting me down. But I'll get over it! Have an awesome day!

Just That Kind of Day

As planned, I braved the below 0 temps yesterday and attempted to get some shots of my dogs. I did not dress the part, though, and my bare knee in my torn jeans actually stuck to the ice I so stupidly knelt on. I know, I know, I should be better prepared,  but my dogs just do not cooperate with me when it comes to sitting still and posing prettily, so when my teenager walked in the room and offered to help me out I thought I'd better grab the opportunity and fast. So this is about as good as it got yesterday: Then it turned into this: She loves loves loves to chase snow balls as much as she loves catching tennis balls or chasing rocks. She thinks it's her job, no joke. She is all business and extremely focused. My yard is too small to get any good shots of her in action, I'll be taking them to the mountains once it's above 20 degrees again. Hopefully I'll shoot some keepers then. But hey, my dog had a blast, so that's what matters.  My ot...
