Nearly 40% of my sales are wildlife/nature shots. Mostly primates and birds but also pachyderms. There's only a couple of repeat sellers in there too.

Thanks @SShep

Thanks Steve

I was lucky enough to meet Keith on an Alamy course in Cirencester a few years back. A dry wit and a man really in charge of his craft, a craft he obviously loved. Taken far too soon. Gorffwyswch mewn heddwch, butty. You'll be missed.

Thanks! It was picked up on here a few months back. Of course, I bought the book but haven't read it yet. The image is DHMD88, some scruffy peeling wallpaper from when I was renovating my house.

FWIW, I use a normal neck strap but hang the camera on my (right) shoulder, not around the neck, with the camera "turned in", i.e. the lens pointing towards my lower back/bum rather than pointing away from my body. It minimises the camera swinging about (for me - might be my big bum, mind). Perhaps give that a go before shelling out for another solution?

Swansea Guildhall?

Thanks Kat.

A minor thing but when you're keywording, this is a fungus (actually the fruiting body of a fungus). "Fungi" is plural.

Groovy.

Are we allowed to have similar images as a mix of RF and RM now? Alamy used to stipulate that all similar images had to be either all RF or all RM (notwithstanding the presence of non-released "people").

Ah, OK.

I asked because there's a well documented problem with the appearance of foliage when raw files from (some) Fuji sensors are demosaiced. I've not heard of a similar problem with Nikon cameras (and I never had a problem when I shot with Nikons).

Out of interest, do you use a Fuji camera?
