Only One Got Paid For Photo

Only one of photographers got paid for his picture. His is not on this photo.
I love reading about selling your photos online. Sometimes reading about selling pictures is more interesting than selling pictures. But at the bottomline it's all about how good you photos are and how long you're working in this sphere as a pro. Nothing can help sell a bad picture. Photoshelter blog has many interesting posts on how to sell photos.

Santorini panoramas

I have a sort of obsession with panoramas in the last several months. I don't really know why, but now I try to make as many panoramic photos as possible. The first symptoms of the obsession showed on my last trip to Russian National Park "Samara Luka".
In August I made a really nice and productive trip to the Greek islands of Crete and Santorini, which resulted in dozens of beatiful iconic views of these foremost tourists attractions and 8 nice panoramas.

Here's the two first panoramas of Fira and Oia, Santorini's most amazing towns with thousands of people flocking to to see the sunset.

New trip planned

On Saturday we are going to expedition to Russian National Park "Samara Luka", a gorgeous island in Volga river, a historic place with mountains over 100 mln. years near Samara. This is really the most scenic place in the area and also one of the most arduous, there are no common roads, just some tracks and dirt roads for 4x4.

Will take your suggestions, questions and requests for travel photos. Also considering assignments in this area.

Alfred Molon

I was doing my SEO work for my website Travel & Stock Photography | ZooMMER and found Alfred Molon's photo galleries. Alfred has a huge collection of travel photos, that I can envy and adore. His site is built with German accuracy and practicism. I've never seen photographer, who covered SO many countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Iran, Nepal, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Morocco, Austria, Czech republic, Germany, France, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Australia and Micronesia.

WOW! :-) I wonder how many years it takes for a person to cover so many places.

I like his Rome collection most of all and lovely Garmisch Partenkirchen.



I also tried to unveal his SEO success and it appears the secret is simple - his site generates hundreds of internal links, improving its Google results.

Snowmageddon in Russia too

Well, older generation here in Russia says that all the bad stuff comes to us from the west. This time they proved right.
The American snowmageddon at last came to Russia - I've never ever seen so much snow in just 3 days, which traitorously coincided with long 4-day holidays.

Such days are great to teleport to, say, Grand Canyon. I just took Cirrus SR22 and flew over Grand Canyon village. Of course I took some pictures, here are couple:


My Cirrus SR22 was a plane immitation option inside Google Earth and my photo camera was Print Screen button. I love Google, all their products and philosophy. It takes you to the future and makes you feel like a child, when you first use some of their programms. I don't know how they do that and how much work should be put into what they do, but I truely feel awe about Google, when I see real 3D terrain of Grand Canyon where I can walk into every minor spring or when flying over NYC skyscrapers which look like real.
This is truely amazing and fantstic! That's why I love Google.
