Are Alamy stock photographers all ages?
Marvin McAbee replied to geogphotos's question in Community support: ask the forum
72 this month but still kicking. First camera was a Brownie Holiday and I put it on layaway because I didn't have the full Six dollars that it cost. First 35mm was a Kodak and later I moved to Minolta. -

Not sure but several years for me.😃 -
How was your July 2019?
Marvin McAbee replied to cbimages's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Only 2 for me for $28. -
Now I noticed that you can pull keywords together to form a single keyword. My question is would it be better to have keywords such as 1965 Ford Mustang as one keyword or leave them separate. Thanks Marvin

Thanks for all the information and I do have a external hard drive but haven't hooked it to the new laptop. When you copy the files to the external hard drive do you have a system of knowing were everything is if it is not a mirror system. I also think I could use lightroom for organizing better. I think I will look into more external hard drives for backup. I have two out buildings at my house that I could use as off site. Thanks Marvin

I don't think I have a good backup system. Just wonder what others use Cloud, extra hard drives, or off site storage?

Just wondering if anyone is using these as they seem to be the lowest price FF today. B&H has them for $999 and $1299 with 28k-70 lens.

Does quality control affects all batches?

Slide Copy
Marvin McAbee replied to Marvin McAbee's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
Yes the 40mm is for DX only and for FF would need the 60mm. I have the Nikon slide copier that screws directly on the micro lens. I have used the slide copier with a 50mm lens and extension tubes and its Ok for family pics and facebook but not up to stock. -
I have thousands of slides that I have made over the years but never made any copies for stock. I am considering using my D3400 DX Nikon with the 40mm Micro Nikon lens and Nikon slide copier. Do you think this combination would work good enough for Alamy. I am also considering a D750 for my next camera and was wondering if full frame FX would be better. Marvin

A new dawn cometh
Marvin McAbee replied to Alan Beastall's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
I wonder if they will be any DX versions as fuji and sony have APS-C versions. Marvin -
Cleaning the old PC
Marvin McAbee replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Some time ago I worked for a communications company that maintained 911 centers and we had a anti-static vacuum cleaner to use on their computers. I am sure that these are not readily available but you might use a regular vac with caution. We also had to wear a grounding strap when working on their equipment. Marvin
