Yes, nature is surely included in microstock. But in this post I am learning more towards the formatted, studio shots of people, products, concepts that sell well in microstock. I'll be working on both actually, in 2010. A million people have pretty nature shots, but if you can convey "tacky taste" in a photo, it'll tend to sell more. Right now, I experiment more than anything. There are some great blogs out there to learn from as well. Pius,

Not that I’ll be abandoning nature, landscape or travel photography." Does this mean that travel nature/landscape/travel photography and microstock are somehow mutually exclusive? That is, do they generally not sell well on microstock sites? I’m thinking about getting into microstock and I’m curious about something you said:

I'll join you in deciding to do something about it in 2010, if you don't mind ;) I have a similar shortage of ‘people’ shots, which is a shame because when I do get them, they often become favourites.
