Hello, just another inquiry on what the exact technical issues are. I have a hunch but am interested in hearing what experienced contributors have to say. Thanks for your time.

7451 is quite nicely done, but it's missing detail and sharpness and bears artefacts introduced by your phone, because of the small sensor size and post-processing. I could also get some more contrast.

 

3361 some highlights are blown out, the light on the table is too strong. There is noise in the shadows, and the noise reduction has taken out detail and introduced this painterly look. I love the composition, but again, your camera and in-camera processing did a bad job to catch the nice features of your set-up.

 

1023: Much what I said before is true also here. Just have a look at this painterly impression from your phone's noise reduction (seen at 200%):

0976: Same issues (here seen at 103% from inside the forums tool):

0037: Noise reduction destroyed the details:

I think you need to change to raw shooting. The iPhone 6 may be capable of that. That could improve your pictures because you could apply your post-processing, instead of the in-camera processing. This would help to preserve details. But it is probable, that the camera is reaching its physical limits with this type of pictures and the light conditions. The photographs are nice, but the quality is not good enough.

    Thanks so much for your in-depth reply. It is much appreciated and so more informational than the general site links, although they are useful. Many of your other comments here have also been beneficial during my research. And thanks for the compliments!

     

    I have a Canon EOS 50D that has been collecting dust, maybe I should bring it back to life. But I assume the technology in the iPhone (swapped 6 for 13 recently) is of higher quality. I'm currently looking at apps that will allow RAW format (I guess only 13Pro has ProRAW :(. Thanks again, cheers!

    However, I'm pretty sure there are enough images of sunsets, sunrises, waves, beaches, puppies, kittens and flowers to last for eternity - or until camera technology evolves to the point where current 2D static images are rendered obsolete.

    Hey, my kitten images sell…at a really low rate. As I said, I do not shoot for stock, but I put images I have into stock! My latest upload was a sunset, just to see if they still get accepted, as many uploaders have difficulties with them. And yes, when correctly processed, they get accepted. However, the work you need to put into this won't get monetized.


    It's incredible how saturated the market is, and a wonder stock sites keep accepting anything. I suppose that's a testament to human creativity...but I see lots of photos that make me wonder how they got accepted. Also, it's quite sickening the percentage that goes to the creator. I totally agree the work put into it won't get monetized. For me, I have been wanting to go through my thousands of photos, consolidate and categorize so I can say I did it, finally. Even though it's a lot of work (because my photos are by far less than perfect) it's still fun to upload and know someone could purchase them. Thanks broken ankle.

     

    Now I'm going down the NFT rabbithole. I have a specific series that might spar some interest, which won't be posted to stock.

     

    Thanks for your comments, everyone! I love getting the insight.

    I looked at the first three photos and tend to believe they got refused on focus issues. The depth of field is too shallow.
