Hey Autoshare.

For the benefit of our readers and blogTO flickrites, I have a few questions:

-Do you have any requirements for the size of the digital file? If its to be printed at two full letter sized pages (no bleed I'll assume, so you'll probably need an extra 1/4 to 1/2 inch on all sides as well), how many pixels across and wide are your requirements? Some people have 5mega pix cameras, some people have 12 mega pix cameras, after all...

- Is this a work for hire gig? (For any photogs who don't know the term, it means all right to the image and its use would transfer over to autoshare) Or is it some other license?

- What file format should the link be? Jpg? Tif? Bmp?

- When you say "minimum $500", what's the possible ceiling price to be paid and what fulfilled criterion would warrant Autoshare paying extra for the photograph in question?

I'd suggest that any blogTO Flickr users ask any questions they have in advance, as well.

@autoshare,
Thanks for posting this opportunity.

@+ Photendo + ,
thanks for all these questions, and I had some of them in mind already.


I also have some questions for you dear "autoshare"

- I wonder why you do not have any profile option on Flickr currently? I mean no offense, but I sometimes get some questions for my photos to be used on people's blogs and websites and if they dont have any profile to show as a proof of the original person, I basically ignore and block them.

- I checked the autoshare.com and I dont see any explanation on the web site. Dont you think that would be nice to announce it on your web site and make it official?

I'd be gladly, and most of the flickr users, send you some links for this add, but maybe making it a little more clear will help everybody.


Thanks
Atilla
