Speed In The Cloud
Speed in the cloud, fast connections, and high bandwidth are
all concepts illustrated by this Cheetah sprinting through a cloudscape. In
fact, any aspect of cloud computing, networking and connections that are in
need of speed can be effectively illustrated with this Cheetah stock photo. An
earmark of a good stock image is it’s ability to illustrate a wide range of
ideas…and the element of speed covers a lot of ground…quickly!
Cheetahs…The Symbol
Of Speed
Cheetahs are THE iconic symbol of speed just as clouds are now
a symbol of cloud computing. Put the two together and you have a quick-reading
clear visual metaphor for speed in cloud computing, fast connections and
high-bandwidth networks.
A Sense Of Movement
To help this image become a best seller I composed it to
crop easily to any format and to have ample copy space for the needs of art
directors, graphic designers and photo editors for headlines and body copy. I
added just a bit of motion blur to the fast cat to add a sense of movement…something
that often helps an image sell better.
Cheetah Sprint
Through Cloudscape
Another plus for the image is in the fact that the image is
not one we’ve seen before. I did a considerable number of searches, both in
stock agencies and online…and did not find any other images of a cheetah
sprinting through a cloudscape. Put that symbol of speed (the cheetah) into an
unexpected environment and you really increase the chances of grabbing a
viewer’s attention and creating a lasting memory of the image and message
behind it.
A Getty Rights
Managed Stock Photo
I uploaded the image to Getty as a Rights Managed image. I
chose RM because the image is hard to duplicate (most photographers don’t have
the cloud and cheetah raw materials) and I think is well suited to print
campaigns. But my hope is to make a few large sales as opposed to a bunch of
small ones. We shall see. Despite the fast subject matter it will probably be
six months to a year until I find out if the image is successful. It still
seems to take that long before most of my images hit their stride…so to speak.

This is a good and useful post. All the photos posted in each of the posts are very creative. The caption given for each of them is very abt. The topics to which the photos are related to are very relevant. I really appreciate the talent of the persons who have shot these beautiful pics. In offices, Targets given are much heavier than normal. People find it very hard to meet them. As a result, they work for extra time. A delay in meeting the targets can adversely affect their job. As a result, people get tired mentally and physically. This creates stress in them that can gradually lead to depression. Family problems and other personal issues may be another factor that may cause stress to people. High work pressure results in having very little time available to relax. Here, many tips by which we can overcome stress in a good way are given. Many people can make use of it. Developing hobbies is a good idea to divert our mind from stress causing factors. Gardening, cycling, playing outdoor games are some of the hobbies that we can develop to keep our minds healthy. I think people should find free time to do activities that give happiness to their minds. While traveling, reading books like the one given here is also a good option. This will help to motivate our minds. Many positive thoughts could be obtained from these books. Reading is a good way to get data and details of different writing styles are also obtained. We have to read many types of books like novels, stories, articles, etc. This will help us to know about the usage of words and sentences. We could also develop our own essay writing style by knowing about various writing styles. Developing our writing skill is always good.
