Dilemma
RWilliam replied to Keith Douglas's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Dilemma? What Dilemma??? Go tell them to take a running jump! -
According to the Alamy News Twitter feed... it's coming soon!

I'm agree with you wholeheartedly Sultanpea. I saw these in the newsfeed on Fri and was very surprised to say the least! I think it calls into question Alamy's integrity as a reliable source for news photos if HDR is allowed to go through as news

Looks like Terry Mathews has got the front page of The Times tomorrow.... and very well deserved too! -
Calling Dog Breed Experts
RWilliam replied to Jill Morgan's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I'm not an expert on dog breeds but I have two Cockapoo's and they dont look like that. The ears are too straight for a Cockapoo in my opinion. I can understand how it might be a part poodle but not part Cocker Spaniel. -
When I first started uploding to the news feed I spoke to a woman in the Live News team and she asked me if the photos were exclusive to Alamy (They were only weather photos). I dont know what she did with that information but circumstances can change. How do they know if the photographs I'm uploading now are exclusive or not? The simple truth is... They don't
-
Thanks Mike, For clarification The original suggestion was for an "exclusive" box so that Alamy could be sure that they were the only agency that had access to the photographs. This allows them to negotiate higher prices knowing the photos are exclusive to Alamy. They could potentially be sold to multiple outlets but be sure that they were'nt being haggled down on price because they are available elsewhere.

Thanks for your input Phil. This is obviously only of interest to people who submit to the Live News feed. At a time when there is a lot of mumbling about falling prices I would have thought that this would be a no-brainer.
-
I realise this is similar to another thread on here, but I would like to see an exclusivity box for Live News uploads. The implications are quite obvious and would be beneficial to both Alamy and the relevant contributors. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated... especially from Alamy

Do you have images on Alamy shot with a Nikon D600 or D800?
RWilliam replied to Alamy's topic in Let's talk about pics
I have been submitting images using a D800 for the past 18months. 99% of those images have been taken using a D800 and Nikon lenses
