Need ADVICE ON STOCK PHOTO MEMBERSHIP

[Nite Producer]

Hi Guys,

I found a nice photo stock in the net, They have about everything and nice shots, from real photos to vector illustration that you can modify, each download has a good price, before I reveal the secret, I want to know if anybody has a membership like it can tell me the average prices to download such a things?

I am with this mob: http://www.jupiterimages.com/default.aspx

Unlimited membership for unlimited download $1,200 per annum.

I've already downloaded 260 images from them.. They send a monthly mag by post with all new stock and they have search engine.

Just checked them out.. They look good and the prices are very sexy..

Here's the deal Producer..

Stock Images are a bit tricky.. Unlimited accounts are good for those who need to downlaod things regularly.. News, Portal, Advertising Agency and Marketing websites are all best with unlimited accounts.. But those who require occasional downloads are best paying per each image licence... Ultimately, it's a matter of 'How much cost' against 'how much to save'.. Also, there are stock image websites that offer you free download but for a limited time.. which means that each image might be free for only one or two months.. in some cases, that is perfect because News and Advertising websites often change the images on weekly or even daily basis.. so they don't end up paying a dime..

The other thing to consider, is ofcourse, the quality.. Some stock images websites offer specialized imagery.. so it's always worth the browse through their stock.

Yep.. and they are a pain in the bloddy ass.. I would bust their balls on the phone every day, but let your wife do it.. Ozzies only tolerate other Ozzies to get up them..

Good for you mate.. and congrats on the baby.. It's a good place to raise a family... and hopefully the stupid John Howard government will be gone soon which makes this place even better to live.
