  1. Past hour
  2. Totally understand your pain point and I also have my fair share of frustration before. Am not an expert but I think it is determine by a few factors. The need of the images by buyer, minimise keywords spamming, or even similar image already is saturated. You got many awesome images, description and keywords is pretty on point. I suggest do look around the forum to study what other members had shared. Also in your acct overview, look at 'What shoot I shoot', particularly in your region, look at 'Alamy Measures' data too. I hope you had a bunch of great sales real soon.
  3. Three sales in two days for very low $$ each Outback roadtrain with cattle, Camooweal 4WD track through termite mounds and Ptilotus flowers, Pilbara region Feeding aggregation of purple coral-eating snails, with the skeleton of the coral they've just consumed
  4. Today
  5. One of my better sales this month -- mid $$, multiple editorial use Puebla, Mexico
  6. On a recent trip to the city I enjoyed limiting myself to one lens, a wide angle zoom. I was working with 8-16mm and having that set limitation I find helps with creativity and exploring options within limitations. There is a convict-built building in Perth constructed from 1856-1860 known as the Cloisters building. I was impressed with its decorative brickwork. I also really liked the Port Jackson Fig Tree located next to it within the area of The Rusty Fig restaurant. Both the building and tree are heritage-listed. Shooting at the wider end I could get some of the canopy of the fig tree. It's lovely to see such an old tree with character in the middle of a city.
  7. Yesterday
  8. Thanks Mark, I know you are spot on with your advice, it is the one thing I always struggle with deciding which images to use. My CTR is .69
  9. Not sure what happened but welcome back Edo! Gen, the semi-Brazilian Australian Froggie.
  10. Hello, all you nice folks! I have been locked out of all things Alamy for 2 days. I hope I'm back. Edo, the semi-Roman Irish dude from Brooklyn. 😃
  11. I have yesterday, it was deeeeliciousss ! Thank you Edo for inspiring us.

  15. I've noticed just the opposite, lower fees due to the new "standard licenses", which seem to be increasingly popular. However, I do have a bigger than average payout coming this month, plus some "other income". 🙂
  16. I just gave Nitro Photo (https://www.gentlemencoders.com/nitro-for-macos/index.html) another spin. OP (Ian) might find it very useful for ranking & culling. There's no need to import images into a catalog first (just open existing folders and it possibly builds a catalogue as it goes) I was able to zoom and pan up to 12 images simultaneously and star rate each one. Very impressive. Runs very smoothly on my 2017 iMac, must be lightning fast on an M series Mac. Mark
  17. Pay her a very small sum or take her out to dinner and divide the cost as payment over however many photos. You're not likely to get sued by your wife,are you? My understanding is that payment makes a contract valid, even if only one peppercorn.
  18. Thanks very much for the spots SShep. It's good to know where they get to.
  19. What's your current CTR%? Have you tried the BHZ test? Looking at your Camino de Santiago images, they are all different and they contain people doing things (always good for sales). So, unless your CTR% and BHZ results are lousy, I'd probably leave them alone, especially if they generate sales. But I probably wouldn't have submitted 5 very similar portrait format images of a backpacker in front of Swallet waterfall for example. They are just too visually similar (same person, very similar pose, same framing). Pick the best landscape and portrait (and possibly square) format shots and submit only those. Like your images BTW. Mark
  20. Hi Alex, Would you mind forwarding the email thread from the infringer to us at contributors@alamy.com so we can make our infringements team aware of this? Thanks, Louise
  21. I agree. And also I have seen some quite large clearance payments for images dating back to 2022.
  22. I agree but the L word is beyond the scope of the present discussion by request of the OP so Nitro could be a very good option with its stated integration with the Finder and Photos app. Certainly worth checking out.
  23. No, he contacted me directly - nobody's hard to find these days. He wanted to make Alamy an offer, so I told him it was Alamy's decision to make. He then emailed me again to say that he had had his offer accepted (much lower than Alamy's original demand, sadly) Alex
  24. everything on that plate looks delicious. I congratulate you on your restraint on price commenting
