Hi these are basic questions as I'm not only new to the site but also just got my first real camera 14 days ago, I went to the woods and started shooting.

 

I like shooting nature pictures, and I guess I'm also a bit influenced by subtle melancholic or fantasy elements.
So my questions

  • At what size should I upload pictures? so far I'm doing a 6000x4000 JPEG
  • How long is the acceptance process? Ive had mine pending for 14 days
  • Do you think these pictures("1","2" and "3", not "test") would be accepted, but more interestingly for me, if you dont why not? can you give me pointers, bare in mind the pictures you see here are the first I ever shot.
  • The "test" photo I have not uploaded to Stock and is heavily editted and is me trying to tell fairytales, do you think there is a market for photos such as these?

 

also these pictures have been downscaled to upload here

Hi,

Welcome to the community of photographers. However there is a lot you will need to learn. 

What size image?

Usually your camera shoot at maximum size. You will however need to choose quality - maximum quality is good.

 

Review time:

The review process is usually within 5 day, however that has changed since COVID-19 due to restrictions imposed, hence now taking longer.

 

Would these photos be accepted?

So far I like the composition of all your photos, however they are extremely noisy, underexposed, and out of focus. In addition the color balance is not correct. 

Therefore the answer to your question, if I these images would be accepted, is no.

 

Is there a market for images like these?

Yes, once they meet the quality requirement.

 

 

First you need to download the manual for your camera and read that through thoroughly. Then you will need to research on photography. Here is a good place to start https://www.linkedin.com/learning/search?keywords=ben%20long 

After taking your photos you will need to do basic post processing. This link will give you some basic pointers to learn.

    Hi.

    i'm wondering about the noise..

    First of all the camera is set to best settings I suppose it can be. I edit my picture in RAW
    and make a JPEG from in lightroom.

    So far I've just used some basic lightroom presets, contrast a bit, etc.
    but I'm wondering specifically about the noise, whats that about?
    sigma 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 dc macro os hsm
    canon 250d

    this is my gear, where does the noise come from., even when I cancle out all presets  in lightroom its there.

    Thinking about it, I guess cause its new to me, the blame might be on the fully autosettings option on the camera.
    I'm not that good on the spot still to change my exposure and stuff so I let the camera choose.
