Digital Submission Guidelines
-
For Natural History images, for example, the critical information would be the common and scientific names of the animal or plant pictured, as well as broader search terms such as mammal, bird, tree, etc.
-
Keywords are probably the most critical element in making sure our clients see your images. We do not expect you to understand exactly how our search engine works, but it is important to understand that queries search ONLY the keyword field, not the caption or title fields
-
For natural history images, for example, it should include the common and scientific names of any organisms pictured, as well as location information, and additional information about what is going on in the image. Other useful information may be included as well if it is relevant. For micrographs, magnification is critical: please express it as a magnification AT A SPECIFIC SIZE, for example, 500X at 5”x7”.
-
Having complete informationwill make sales. This cannot be overemphasized—the clients for whom caption information is critical will NOT purchase an image if they cannot confirm what is important to them, most often a species or location or magnification.
-
Proper captioning and keywording are critical to making sales.
-
That said, here are our size guidelines for digital cameras:
-
it is crucial that you shoot in RAW mode and use your camera manufacturer’s software or a program like Adobe Photoshop to upsample the image when opening the RAW file.
-
Digital Cameras::
-
The larger the image size (assuming acceptable quality)
the more sales possibilities an image has; a larger image may be used larger
(museum or zoo exhibits, for example, or double page spreads) or cropped
without degradation in quality. While this size will continue to remain
our absolute minimum acceptable size (2550 pixels on the short side)
we now have a series of recommended sizes, depending on the source of the
digital image. -
Oversharpening is one of the MOST COMMON reasons a digital image is rejected.
-
Some photographers prefer to send low res images initially for review. This is NOT the fastest way to get images on our site, as it will involve 2 separate review processes by our editors.

A typical online site follows the 1 Percent Rule — 1 percent of users support all the rest. In the freemium model, that means for every user who pays for the premium version of the site, 99 others get the basic free version. The reason this works is that the cost of serving the 99 percent is close enough to zero to call it nothing

Thoughts on Reading Well: Getting the Right Tools
-
hat is, in this
mode it is wise to first look at the Table of Contents (at the beginning)
and the Index (at the end) to get a feel for the kinds of topics, ideas,
or information this book contains.
Based on your initial evaluation of how useful the book will be for
you, dip into a chapter or two. Read the introductory and concluding
paragraphs of a chapter or a subsection to see if that will give you the
gist. If the result here is
useful, then dip deeper in.
Synoptic Reading requires practical reasoning, i.e., your ability
to discern what is useful for the task you have in mind. Like Textbook reading, synoptic
reasoning is about extracting information. However, because it relies on your
ability to select what is really useful in a text, it can be risky to read
in this way when you find yourself in a new territory, because you
don’t yet know what to look for and what to dismiss.

Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey while working for San Francisco based podcast company Odeo, and it launched in August 2006, growing by word of mouth until last year's SXSW conference when it emerged from nowhere as the way for attendees to keep track of what was going on and share their thoughts with friends.
-
more and more I see the world through the lens of our shared experience
-
when you're sitting at your computer working, connected to the internet and with a Twitter client running on your computer so that tweets appear as they are posted. It's rather like reading a novel, where you stop seeing the words on paper and find yourself immersed in a world created for you by the author
-
I was there because I was plugged into Twitter, the instant messaging service that lets users send short text messages to anyone who cares to tune in, online or on their mobile phone.
As I sat at my desk a constant stream of 'tweets', as they are called, was being supplied by many of the people in the room and I was able to reply directly and feel that I too was participating.
