While I have never been a great seller here on Alamy, I have had a strange couple of years. 2018 was my best ever in both quantity and revenue. So far in 2019 I have only 50% the number of sales, compared to 2018, but have now exceeded revenue ( high $$$), even if only by $8! Couple of distributor sales in there, but only signed up this year. With 6ish weeks to go I hope for another few sales. Time will tell.

Think that "S" denotes S*****mo. Paul

Well done, Alan. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Alan. Will look into that. Paul

I have used my Canon ef-s 15/85 lens on a crop sensor for most of my stock photography. I have been happy with the range, which makes it a good walkabout lens. However, I am begining to have conserns with image quality in all but bright conditions. CA has always been an issue, but i have learned to work arround it. Has anyone a suggestion for an upgrade? I have considered 24/105 L, but thought I would loose too much at the wide end. I have 10/22 and 70/200, so may have to consider more lens changing "on the go" . Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help. Paul

I had a sale ($$) back in March 2018, with these details:- Country: United Kingdom Usage: Editorial Media: Travel guides -print and/or e-book Print run: up to 100,000 Placement: Inside Image Size: 1/8 page Start: 01 March 2018 End: 01 March 2021 Duration: Up to 1 year Payment has not yet been made and I was wondering if this type of sale is usually slow payment, or should I be reminding Alamy? Paul

Many thanks for your help, John. Will look into the above. At least I seem to have been going in the right direction! Paul

I saw this tree in a local (Yorkshire) garden, and loved the variegated foliage. From my research it seems to be an Acer platanoides drummondi, or Norway Maple. Can anyone confirm or otherwise identify? Tree stands about 15 ft tall, and at first I thought it was some form of variegated Sycamore. TIA Paul
