Aurora Photos has announced an iPhone stock photo
collection. I read about it on Jim Pickerell’s site < http://www.selling-stock.com> during
my just-completed trip to India. During the trip Nevada Wier was shooting with
her new iPhone 4GS and using various photo apps to process the photos. Now
while I haven’t had the chance to see the images full size, on the phone they
looked fabulous.
And so the relentless march of change continues to impact
the stock photo industry.
I am going out tomorrow and buying a new iPhone 4GS. While I
know it is no replacement for my DSLR, there is a place for those iPhone
images. You see, I will have that phone/camera with me all the time. I know from experience that there will
be opportunities for images that can earn me money that I can take advantage of
by having a camera with me at all times. Also, since virtually all of my work is in the form of
Photoshop composites, this will offer me a way to expand my horizons a bit…and
judging from what I saw Nevada doing…it just might be a lot of fun as
well! BTW, I am also placing an
order for the Canon 1D X as well. Got to keep all my bases covered!
Technology is a demanding mistress! Oh well….
