Post a good thing that happened in your life today
spacecadet replied to Betty LaRue's topic in Let's talk about pics
Should be painless nowadays- they don't swab anymore (it was never necessary according to my pharmacist) and when they did, the pain was caused by the cold alcohol from the swab being injected into your arm! Seriously for my flu vaccination, being poked with a fork hurt more. I tried it. -
Photo size requirements (i'm confused!)
spacecadet replied to Dave64's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
That. You're already ahead of most of the beginners who ask that question here. 3400x5100 is way over the minimum of 6MP.. -
It's in the Sun as well, it comes up in this search https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk02OcQV6b69V7otOI5d9yAmK3rtNhQ:1611257513518&q=soil&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&tbs=simg:CAESkAIJNtk3wcDcVe4ahAILELCMpwgaYgpgCAMSKN0V3hWLFbgVyBWDHvwd4BWNFf4dkD_10OdYp9zmJP_1E3mj_1VKZE_1mT8aMLAC2DvzQ19Ft0QCMUtMaQcKXbucgOO1qy5UcqRCSZoDb-DO_1Ny4bca8HurUO-rD7SAEDAsQjq7-CBoKCggIARIERlsLfQwLEJ3twQkafQoWCgRzb2ls2qWI9gMKCggvbS8wOWR2NwoZCgdsZWlzdXJl2qWI9gMKCggvbS8wNGczcgoXCgNmdW7apYj2AwwKCi9tLzBkczk5bGgKFgoEdHJlZdqliPYDCgoIL20vMDdqN3IKFwoFdHJhaWzapYj2AwoKCC9tLzBobTAzDA&fir=qLF0Jl0vIwmj

Layered rock - does it have a specific name?
spacecadet replied to Vincent Lowe's question in Community support: ask the forum
What geog said leaving out the rock type, presumably. With a precise location so that the buyer can relate it to a geological map as MDM says. -
LIGHTROOM CC Classic
spacecadet replied to Betty LaRue's question in Community support: ask the forum
Doesn't that mean that you would have to redo your PS work if you wanted to revisit an image? When you save a TIFF exported from LR, it keeps its layers and appears next to the RAW in the LR filmstrip. -
DACS Payback 2021
spacecadet replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I used to do this but it's no longer really necessary as I only have a few qualifiers, and as you say the publlication matching is more important now anyway. You can search "alamy (your name) -alamy.com -alamy.de -alamyimages.fr" (on Google) to exclude results on Alamy itself. Include as many of the internatioanl sites as you can be bothered with- I usually don't. -

OH was in One Of Those Moods so a nice half-bottle of Rhône with the sausage and chips. After we'd finished the Merlot. -

There's a separate thread for good things! -
scanned Can I upload scanned analog pictures ?
spacecadet replied to jordicubells's question in Community support: ask the forum
There's no doubting the copy would be sharp, but the original probably won't be at postcard size. -

I doubt a small scanned print could pass QC. -

spacecadet replied to Ed Rooney's topic in Let's talk about pics
Some life has to go on. Unlike the first time essential non-food shops are open. Garages are open. I collect the car after MoT work today for example. The film and TV industries can operate, fortunately for me. -

That doesn't make it out of copyright! Do you mean "exclusive"? -

spacecadet replied to jordicubells's question in Community support: ask the forum
Yes, but it needs to be very old. 70 years after the death of the photographer is a long time. Even though the period used to be shorter, I wouldn't personally be happy marking anything after about 1920 as being out of copyright without knowing for sure. The last war is certainly not long enough. -
Suburban garden. The heliotrope used to be under the canopy of a copper beech out front. I pollarded the beech last year, so it is still there but the canopy isn't. I suspect the heliotrope thinks it still is. Except of course, thinking about it, it flowers in December when there are no leaves anyway. Hmm. There will be cuckoo flower, bluebells and green alkanet later. The primroses grow out of the edges of the path and raised beds. We mow round them. January is pretty early for them. I wonder if this one got surprised when it was frosty last week. It was milder earlier. We don't do

I wouldn't buy that- it might force me to eat a burger in front of the press -

Absent knowledge of our GP system I expect Ed has taken what he was first offered. I understand it is possible to have a choice but it may involve a wait. Or perhaps he just fancies a trip out to a nice hotel- I probably would! Not that you can do anything hotelly there like have afternoon tea. But you might be able to do in April. Sorry Ed, you can speak for yourself perfectly well, but I have heard about this in the press- there is a choice but you have to know how to exercise it. -
DACS Payback 2021
spacecadet replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
No idea. Perhaps you should ask. But I don't think many countries have an arrangement such as Payback. -

spacecadet replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Those of us who claim direct via DACS get a payment from Bildkunst in Germany. So it's not one way. -

I thought you were referring to collecting societies in general. Alamy only claims through DACS. -

If your images are of genuine historical interest, and not just old, you can apply for archive privileges and bypass QC. https://www.alamy.com/registration/archive_upload_apply.aspx -
DACS Payback 2021
spacecadet replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
They don't and aren't AFAICS. As per my post, you can sign up for ADAGP if you want to. I imagine the bank charges paid by a non-UK resident to get a DACS payment are much the same. It shares with those who are eligible. We take our income from licences all over the world, after all. -

spacecadet replied to losdemas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
You can sign up for ADAGP- it might be worth it if you have a lot of images published in France, and you think it might cover the €15 membership share and £20 for each bank transfer! -
