Note the above photo of the black and white cat. Using a color camera, this shot nevertheless appears black and white. How’s that for propinquity doing the spadework for you? Lots of drama in one shot. I got this shot wandering into a kitten fair. Look for ways to find shots and make them happen.
 
Low cost legal image vending can depend on luck quite a bit of the time. A lot of the time it has to do with being able to get your camera out and start snapping. Finding whimsical or visually dramatic shots can’t come to you if you don’t provide the karmic opportunities. Turn some corners and find some surprises waiting.
 
Most of the time when someone says idly, ‘Hey, someone should take a picture of that”, they go about their business. A microstock photographer will stop and pull out their camera, primed with memory space, a working lens assembly and charged up batteries. They will know within 5 seconds which setting they want depending on light and composition.
 
Color strategy can be a way to take shortcuts to successful site composition. A capable microstock photographer should be greedy for color and grab it whenever they can. Flowers, car paint, sign colors, anything that has hues intended to stand out. These make excellent website accents and can furnish a website rich with content and detail with eye pleasing detail that keeps eyeballs browsing.
 
It is not the policy of this photographer to espouse any specific tones or decry the use of halftones in any set of images. But the midrange tones of blue and gray lose interest without change or impactful definition. The use of real vibrancy in camera photography fools the eyes momentarily into focusing on the subject matter. Then the eye can match the subject matter of the photograph with the text topics and words.
 
Grabbing the interest of the viewer can serve a site to its best and highest purpose. But doing it with flair can keep a viewer coming back again and again to get that same experience. These images are the ones microstock buyers are looking for at the minimum cost. Responsible website owners looks for low cost legal images to freshen their sites and make the reading attractive and enjoyable to visitors.
 
Next time you see a sign that announces an event or an activity, think about whether some good micro stock opportunities are waiting. Then turn the corner.
