iStockPhoto is the bigger of the two. My application is still being processed. This involves a little test to check that you've learnt their guidelines and a sample of three original 1600x1200 pixel resolution photos proving a modicum of ability.

CitizenImage is a much smaller outfit and it's pretty easy to get accepted. I have my doubts about whether there's much chance of getting any cash from them though. Their website gets less traffic than Nimisis.com (Alexa IS useful!)- but I hope I'm wrong. One thing that's confusing is that they say they'll PayPal me any earnings, but there's no PayPal email address to enter in the account settings. I use one address for PayPal and different ones to sign up to websites... not sure they've thought about that.

If this sounds like a good idea to you but you're stuck for good photo ideas, you might like to spend a few minutes at FlickrWatch. Or, if you like manipulating photos there's Warp.

If you already rate yourself as a bit of a photographer, why not try and earn some extra pocket money with those pics?

In fact, the waves were better - colder, but with a wetsuit on you couldn't feel it. I highly recommend it!

Free idea of the day - it struck me that the hardest part of surfing is the paddling out into the sea against the waves to where they break. It's tiring. If someone dug an underwater tunnel in some good surfing beach where you could then just pop out to catch a wave I think you'd be onto a winner. Surfers (at least the lazy ones) would flock to your beach. It may be a bit of a feat of engineering though. Perhaps if the eye-sore factor wasn't too much of an issue then something similar to a drag lift would do?

Photos are here.

Riya can analyse the photos you give it using face detection and can guess very accurately who the people are in your photos (after some initial training of course). It can also do character recognition to spot signs and logos. Very clever!
