YAY Images - 6mp confirmed

I contacted YAY Images to ask if they have a "grandfather" clause for current contributors. They don't - but did say that any images currently for sale that are less than 6 mega-pixels will remain for sale.

Ah, the perils of having only a 4mp camera!  Part of the learning curve, I guess.

I will say that the two times I have contacted YAY Images with questions they have been great to deal with. Still no sales, but if I get a better camera I will keep up the portfolio there.

Update on YAY Images

YAY Images no longer accepts images less than 6 megapixels. The previous requirement was 3mp and it was a great place for a beginner to upload quality images while learning how this all works. 

I was very sorry to see this, as YAY was the first place that accepted photos of mine. Unfortunately, I suspect it will become more difficult to get anything out there with the 4mp camera.

I'll post more soon about working with the point-and-shoot focus. I spent the day yesterday trying for the perfect leaf-shot and found a few tricks that helped get the macro close-up to work more consistently. There are some definite techniques for placing the image so that the camera is able to "see" what you have in mind. After that, I was looking forward to uploading about 10 images to YAY, so the discovery about the new image requirements was rather discouraging.
