Sold my first Video Clip! What a great feeling. OK, heading out now with my camera to get more pics!

I love doing Video!

OMGosh! Just sold my second video, just two days after I sold my first! Same video, but a smaller version. Payment is the equivalent to selling 43 images! Oh yes, I do love video....ok, what can I video in at night? I've already done the moon!

Congratulations...

I know the feeling. My earnings have gone up ever since I ventured into footage - I now feel inclined to shoot videos only.

Keep shooting and keep keywording and uploading (quality and variety always tops).

My feelings exactly. My camera still goes with me everywhere I go but I definitely find myself shooting more video then stills. Good thing my camcorder is so small that it's easy to take both. Otherwise my poor camera might get left behind.

I know how you feel. Just sold my second footage today ($20 this time). Love the fact that I can shoot footage and photos now with my Sony A65 SLT and 16-80Zeiss glass!!. My camera bag lost 2 pound of weight because of this. (Will be filled soon with a nice piece of 70-200 glass)

Congrats ya'll! When it becomes like an everyday normal feeling, free to send the earning to me for a while so the great feeling can start over and over ;)

I'm selling stock at all the top agencies - just started about six weeks ago and I'm really happy with the sales here compared to other agencies. Shutterstock rocks!
