popular websites to sell your photography.
If you are a Photographer and not yet started selling photos online, start doing it right now why because there are many websites there to accept you as a contributor.
You can be a stock photographer which you collect all of your images that people buy for their requirements. Contributor websites don’t accept pictures that are not taken by you, pictures that are not of good quality, pictures with noise. Pictures of human faces need Model release approval document. Pictures with recognizable properties Property release document has to be submitted. Try to give relevant name and Keywords for your pictures
In that case, some of the website’s reference I want to share in this article.
Shutterstock
Considered by many photographers to be among the top three stock imagery sites today, offers free registration, and commission rates start at 25%. However, To get accepted into Shutterstock, you must submit 10 photographs, 7 of which must be approved.
Fotolia
Top-tier stock imagery site, free to join, no limits on how many images to can upload. Royalties can range anywhere from 20% to 63% depending on the popularity of your portfolio. There’s also a free image section, where you can donate some of your photos if they are rejected from the regular database, allowing you to get some extra exposure.
Dreamstime
Keep in mind that Dreamstime has very high-quality standards, so quality counts when submitting photos. To start selling on Dreamstime you will need to set up an account and submit sample photos. If your samples are approved, your photos will then be made available for sale, and you will receive a 25-50% royalty off of each sale.
Getty Images
One of the first companies to start licensing stock imagery online. Getty’s entry requirements are more stringent than many of the other agencies, and they only pay out 20% commission to photographers, but the amount of traffic that Getty receives means more potential sales, making it worth it for many photographers. Getty looks for images that convey emotions or concept, and images that are engaging, exclusive, and unexpected.
Stocksy
Founded in 2013 by none other than Bruce Livingstone – iStock’s original founder. Many photographers are finding Stocksy to be a great place to start selling. The Stocksy business model is something that most photographers can appreciate; its stated focus is on fair pay and creating sustainable careers for its members. Unlike many stock imagery sites that tend to be stingy with their payouts, Stocksy pays out 50% commission; a fair deal for most photographers.

Relatively simple site to use. After setting up a free account, you can upload photos for review. If approved, you will receive 20%-40% commission on each photo that sells. Sign up is simple, and once you’re registered you can start uploading images immediately.

Alamy
Another great site to sell your stock imagery on. Photographers get to keep 60% on any of their images that sell. Better still, Alamy doesn’t require you to give them exclusive rights to your photos, which means you can list your photos on other stock imagery sites as well.

Why want to Buy Stock Photos Online: Why not Google
A stock photography of a Tomato it is a Royalty free Image Click Download if neaded. Photography: Babu Vasanth
This article is for the buyers who want to buy stock images in websites. I am a stock photographer and graphic designer, I want to share what is stock photography and I want to share what is the purpose of a photo. Photos are imageries that explain the content more than a page full of text article if and only if the imagery is related to the content. Photographs and imageries are one of the biggest elements of multimedia. We can use photos in printed media publishing like posters, banners, flyers, catalogs etc and we can also use it in digital media publishing like in web pages, web banners, and web posters and so on. And these and are the major purpose of photos.
Why we want to buy
Now I want to share, why we want to buy photos online when of course we have Google and other image search engines. In those days when people the didn’t have an option for internet connection, what people did was, some of the people who want to buy images they directly call photographers to shoot a particular picture related to their content. The photographer will shoot images with models or objects and give the required number of photocopies to the client. Clients use those photocopies for their advertising purpose. After they use all the photos if required, they go back to the photographer to print that photocopy again, why because the photo negative was with the photographer
And if the client wants the photo negative, the photographer will charge more for that, why because the client can make “N” number copies “N” number of time. After the discovery of computer, printer and scanner machines, one can scan the photo print and he can print it “N” number of time. This sounds illegal for the photographer who shot that picture. To favor photographer from this issues the law of Copyrights where introduced
Copyrights
If the photographer sees the picture that was shot by him somewhere else that he didn’t sell it to that particular person or client, according to copyrights law, He can put a case on that person for using his picture illegally without his permission. During these days the photographers, they shoot the picture with the help of negative film role cameras known as SLR cameras, they develop it and print it on paper and they scan it to convert it to digital photo, if needed they publish it in internet for their clients who need those pictures for digital purpose say for web pages. After the introduction of Digital camera photographers shot the digital picture directly from the camera and they can use it for internet based clients.
Google images
When photographer’s clients publish or use their pictures for web pages Google identifies it using the name, tags, and keywords given to the picture and it’ll list it in Google image search engine when any person types the name, tag or keyword of that particular picture Google introduced image search engine so that anyone can find any information, also with images and it doesn’t mean that those pictures are downloadable for free. It’s still it is copyrighted by the photographer who took that picture. If the photographer sees the photograph somewhere he didn’t sell it then he can send a legal notice to the person who published that content with that picture. Then what is the purpose of showing “save as image” in Google search engine? It means anyone can download it for free which Google offer that image for personal use, not for commercial or business purpose so simply we can use it in our computer and it should not be published anywhere.
Stock Photography
Even in those days organizations there helped photographers and clients by standing as an intermediate. Photographers submit images under some name, categories, and keywords with that organization; the organization will make a library and keep images in each section. This library and section is nothing but stock. Some price will be fixed for every picture depending on the demand of the picture and clients come ask for the required images with name, categories, and keywords. if both the photographers and the client’s data matches and if the client likes that picture he purchases it from the organization for that price and the organization will give some percentage to the photographer and the organization with take some commission for standing and helping as an intermediate. Even now many organizations are there in real world facing photographers and clients directly without using internet connection
But now this generation is the period for online stock photography. With the help of internet world some companies running websites and doing the same job by standing in between clients and photographers. Photographers submit images, the company checks for quality and demand they fix price value for the photo, they sell I it gets to the client. They pay for the photographer and take some commission.
Don’t download all Google images for your business purpose. Not all images are costly. Websites are there to sell images for least cost.
For example visit this stock photography website:

Some more details about Thiruparankundram temple.
Tirupparankunram Murugan Temple is a Hindu temple and one of the Six Abodes of Murugan, located at Tirupparankunram. The temple is built in rock-cut architecture and believed to have been built by the Pandyas during the 6th century. According to the legend, it is where Murugan slain the demon Surapadman and married Deivayanai, the divine daughter of the king of heaven, Indra, and he is said to have worshipped Shiva here as Parangirinathar.
The temple is located 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) from Madurai in India. In the main shrine, apart from Muruga, deities of Shiva, Vishnu, Vinayaka, and Durga are housed. The temple follows the Shaivite tradition of worship. Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Kantha Sashti festival during the Tamil month of Aippasi (October – November) being the most prominent. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Legend
Thiruparamkundram finds mention in Kanda Puranam detailing the slaying of Surapadman by Muruga. As per Hindu legend, Surapadma, a demon king, once obtained boons from Shiva on account of severe penance. He started ruling the 1008 worlds on account of the power attained. He married Padumakomalai and had several sons. Viramkendiram became his capital, a city created in the seas and he started troubling the Devas. He imprisoned Indra (the king of celestial deities) and also desired his wife Indrani. Indra sought the help of Muruga. Muruga sent his messenger Viravakutevar to the demon, but he was unmoved. A severe battle was fought in Thiruparamkundram where Muruga killed all the sons of the demon except Iranian. Surapadman hid under the sea and Muruga split him into two pieces, which went on the become the divine vehicles, peacock, and the rooster. The day when Muruga slew Surapadma is celebrated as Skanda Sashti festival in all the Murugan temples.
Indra, the king of Devas was impressed and he married Deivayanai, his divine daughter to Muruga at Thiruparamkundram. Muruga is believed to have worshipped Shiva here as Parangirinathar. Kanthar Anoobothi, a treatise of the divine marriage records that Muruga asked all the divine angels and gods who attended the marriage to fly back to heaven in their own vehicles in Mano veham (speed of thought).
History
Inscriptional evidence point out that this temple, being carved out of a hill, was most probably earlier a Jain cave. There is another theory that earlier to this, the Murugan temple existed much before the 6th century and converted into Jain worship center by Jain monks under the aegis of Pandya king Koon pandiyan. The temple was later converted into a Hindu temple under the tutelage of Gajapathy, the minister of a later Pandya King, during the latter part of the 8th century. The temple has several additions during the regime of Madurai Nayaks who commissioned the pillared halls in the temple.[4] In modern times, the temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Architecture
The temple is built rock-cut architecture dating back to the Pandya period of the 6th century and the life-sized sculptures in the mandapas of the Nayaka period during the 16th century.An Aasthaana Mandapa with several artistically carved pillars leads one to the towering 150 feet (46 m) high seven-tiered rajagopuram at the entrance.The granite hill behind the temple is 1,050 ft (320 m) has a shrine of Kasi Viswanatha at the top. The image of Vinayaka in the temple in the temple is sported holding sugarcane and fruits.
The Kambathadi Mandapam, Ardha Mandapam, and Mahamandapam, the three halls leading to the sanctum, are situated at varying elevation. The main shrine is an early rock-cut temple which has cells that house the sanctums of Subramanya, Durga, Vinayakar, Shiva, and Vishnu. All the statues are carved on the wall of the Thiruparankundram rock. The presiding deity Shiva is known Parangirinathar and the female deity his consort Parvathi is known as Aavudai Nayaki. Panels depicting Shiva’s dance of bliss are seen outside the sanctum.
A notable feature of this temple is that the Shiva and Vishnu face each other in the main shrine, considered a rare thing in ancient Hindu temples. Outside the temple, there is the tank, where according to the temple tradition, the fishes are served with salt and rice flakes by the devotees. There is also a Vedic school adjacent to the banks of the temple pond. In front of the Dwajasthambam, the Flagstaff, there is a carved Nandi, Mayil (Peacock) and Mouse (the vehicle of Ganesha). There is a flight of six steps called the “Shadashara Padigal”, before Ardha Mandapam. The rock carvings of Mahisshasura Mardini, Karpaga Vinayagar, Andarabaranar, and Uggirar are seen in the hall. There are five divine water bodies, namely, Saravana Poigai, Lakshmi Theertham, Saniyasi Kinaru (well), Kasi Sunai, and Sathiya Koopam.

Photography: Over and Under exposing
To be underexposed implies that a picture contains insufficient light, so there is excessively obscurity that was recorded on the film or picture. The darker the photograph is, the more underexposed it is. Some of the time you can even underexpose a photograph deliberately to make pictures more emotional, so remember that as well – NOT ALL UNDEREXPOSED IMAGES ARE BAD.
Underexposure can happen two times all through the photography procedure: while taking the photo, and after that while creating it. Normally, on the off chance that it happens while you are taking the photo, it is around evening time and the lighting is extremely poor outside, thusly, not giving the camera enough light to catch the picture that the photographic artist needs. On the off chance that your photographs are getting underexposed while creating it, at that point, there are methods for settling that as well.
Approaches to revise underexposure:
• Add all the more light to your canvas. One of the more basic methods for doing this is in reality simply turning your blaze on, that is the thing that it is there for so utilize it. Another path is by including a reflector; this will help keep the lighting in the photograph in a way that adds more definition to the scene or picture.
• Adjusting your f/stop could possibly be the issue as well. Changing this will enable all the more light presentation to the photograph, so simply play with it until the point that you locate the correct f/stop.
• Or change your shade speed while keeping the f/stop the same. I just prescribe doing this on the off chance that you have a model that isn’t moving and you are utilizing an excursion case. Exchanging your shade speed from 1/60 of a moment to 1/30 can truly have a recognizable effect; it may feel like it’s just changing a millisecond however that timeframe can have a significant effect!
Overexposure is precisely the inverse of underexposure,
you are letting excessively light being recorded by the camera and that is making the photograph be ‘smothered’ or ‘whitewashed’. At the point when this happens, you lose a great deal of the shading in the photograph and it can be excessively diverting, making it impossible to perceive what the picture taker was endeavoring to make. A few people overexpose intentionally to enable more subtle elements to rise on a dull question and setting, however normally overexposing isn’t something to be thankful for. Much the same as the meaning of overexposing is the inverse of underexposing, the approaches to revise overexposing are additionally the inverse.
• Take away light by moving to the shade or utilizing a darker reflector. A darker reflector will ingest a portion of the entrance light, in this manner, helping your photograph from getting blah-looking. In the event that you can’t discover shade at that point discover a material or a remark coordinate daylight.
• Try changing your f/stop. Play around with it and get nearer to f/11, see what works for the shot and utilize it.
• Shutter speed is another choice. Move it up this time, go to 1/125 to give less light access to your sensor or film plane.
A Photographer’s Dream And A Photograph’s Makeover
The many exciting features of Photoshop range from retouching photos all the way to graphic design. Simply retouching a photo to enhance the light or subject through changing the brightness levels and correcting little ‘imperfections’ in skin or clothes may make the photo more pleasing to the artist or audience. From enhancing the dimensions and depth to configuring a graphic design based from multiple images strategically placed to advertise a company to doodling with the ‘pen’ there are quite a few interesting ways to edit or construct an image.
There are over a dozen tools to use on an image that include: the lasso tool, quick selection tool, crop tool, eyedropper tool, spot healing brush tool, brush tool, clone stamp tool, history brush tool, eraser tool, gradient tool, blur tool, dodge tool, pen tool, type tool, path selection tool, rectangle tool, hand tool, and zoom tool. These tools are located on the left hand side. The toolbar on the top of the screen is composed of sizing brushes or erasers, what mode the artist is detailing with, the opacity, the flow, and the search bar. Another great thing that Photoshop has is the ability to have multiple projects open, just on different windows. With this great power, comes great responsibility…
Once you start using Photoshop and realize all the editing that can be done a few clicks of a button, you need to remember that there is such a thing as too much editing. A little bit goes a long way, not just when using butter on your toast, but when blurring itty bitty sections of your photo to draw attention to your subject. There is a certain amount of editing that can be done to an image that doesn’t distort the subject and you won’t realize you are possibly ruining the image until you take a step back and look at the edited version with a fresh mind. DON’T PANIC! You can go use the ‘undo’ button to remove changes that you have made to less the impact of some excessive editing.
However, you might not want to click undo a billion and three times, so maybe starting from scratch will work best especially now that you know what doesn’t look good on that image. While there is such thing as too much editing, be aware that there are some projects where it is okay to pile on the details or pile on a lot of images onto one background. Personally, my taste in photography is the natural, scenic site where a bit of enhancing is needed but not too much after that. Of course, everyone has their own style so explore Photoshop and your skills to determine what kind (and how much) editing your style warrants.
