Go green with Mira
Mira, the stock agency of the Creative Eye Cooperative, has recently added a new Green Issues gallery of environmental photography to their homepage. I'm honored that six of my images are included in their featured collection including this one which I captured earlier this year:
I'm also pleased to report that the following image from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam of school children viewing The Nightwatch by Rembrandt van Rijn was licensed twice to a textbook publisher through Mira. While a picture like this may not be the most edgy form of photography, editorial images are the lifeblood of a lot stock photographers like myself. Besides, I remember when I first looked at this very painting pictured in a textbook when I was a school kid as well!

That is so cool that you have several of your images being used with some stock agencies. I imagine it helps encourage you to take more pictures. :)
With that second picture, it looks like you used the available light that you had. Did you use a tripod or were you able to raise the ISO high enough? It is a great picture.
Hey Calvin, I'm actually not a professional blogger. :) About 95% of TSI's revenue (and profit thankfully!) comes from stock sales. I love the diversity of it and the freedom it allows me.
As far as the museum pic, you're right on. It was shot hand-held at 800 ISO, f/4.0 at 1/8 sec.
