If you are taking photos of famous landmarks while on vacation and want to sell the photographs as stock when you return home, you don't have to wait for perfect light, just follow a couple of simple rules that will make your pictures "timeless".
Avoid including vehicles, people and harsh reflections. Shoot the landmark from different points of view and keep the composition fairly simple.
When editing, remove stray birds in the sky that will show up as specks and sweep sidewalks for discarded gum wrappers and napkins.
Since you won't be able to do anything with 20 cents when you get home, submit to a real stock site, not a microstock agency. Don't give your photography away "for free" unless your ego is starving for attention.
Get over the fact that YOU take photos because everyone takes pictures these days, (everyone has a blog too) nevertheless, always remember your photography is worth more than 20 cents.
If you have a destination you want to promote in SE Asia, email me and maybe we can work something out.
