At the risk of redsnapper disagreeing with me again, heaven forbid, take a look at T5B4TE . Are staged shots like this really live news material? Saleable yes but Live News?

Got to agree with you. On the face of it, and I know it's only 23rd, this month has been a bit of a wash out. Zoom count is awful with CTR at 0.29, I've two little PU sales and obviously still no news access. 😖

Yikes! 😲

Great day was had by all and our organiser and guide for the walkabout in Edinburgh did a fantastic job. Thanks Iain. Remind me next time to bring oxygen for Carlton Hill. 😵😉

To be fair, I don't think anyone has criticised individuals just the Alamy collective and the rather crass way things are dealt with at times.

Thank you Iain.

Only in the summer or popping out for a pint of milk. 🤣

Quick reminder for the Edinburgh meet on Thursday for anyone who fancies coming along. There's seven of us going so far and you'll be made most welcome. Coloured raincoats or kilts preferred but not essential. 😂😉

Another "live news?" trio which is sure to cause a stink. T455E0

I think B&W would be acceptable. Many old news images were B&W only and nothing in the image is being edited to change content. It would be unusual though.

You deserve it Bryan, congrats 🙂

Many folk have stated that their submissions rarely sell as news but sell later as stock, I would assume therefore that Alamy may miss out on many of those sales too, because how many of us will go to these events if the chance of selling to live news isn't there?

I don't give reds, greens or little love hearts but if I did I'd give you a green for this. 👍

The more I look at it the angrier I become. Stockimo image N0113B gets preferential live news access over those of us denied access? dpa and zuma agencies have automatic live news access despite images being purely editorial in nature with limited descriptions. What gives Alamy?😡
