2010-01-01 Now Shutterstock photo submitter

In Sept 2007, I tried to submit my photos in http://www.shutterstock.com/ for online selling, but was rejected due to picture quality. It was very disappointing and I've written a post related to that: http://sircheng.blogspot.com/2007/09/choise-ill-make.html

Since then I start taking (digital) photography seriously and read a lot from internet about photo gears (especially the low noise one) and technique particularly for "digital" photography.

In a nutshell, this guy Yuri Arcurs influence me the most in term of gear choices and shooting style/philosophy in the path of my learning. To elaborate, while I learn a lot about technique like exposure, photoshop skills, digital noise, compositions etc through some websites... those are all I need to know to take a picture that is technically correct, it is after reading Yuri's sharing that I start to evolve in the way I shot.

2010-01-01 is a very special date for me not because of the 0101 numeric occurrence, but it was the date that my account as photo submitter was approved in Shutterstock. This mean I've achieved one of my aim, and have delivered what I promised! :)

p/s: Now at the bottom of my blogspot page is a mini gallery showing my new images and most popular images at Shutterstock.
