Almost idential to December, January and February. However, sales volume is up, but revenue has virtually stayed the same. Only one $$$ sale.

I used to shoot RAW + JPEG on my old 1DS, but ended up getting too many processing errors. I'm only shooting RAW files now. I tend to select the images in Photoshop Bridge and process them in Photoshop ACR. The latest update also seems to allow you to set up your own standard settings.

They wouldn't have blinked if it you had used an iPhone. Sad times.

All very much average for me in terms of volume and revenue. Really nothing to write home about.

If only I could remember my pseudonym ... 🤣.

Only yesterday, whilst standing at the bus stop, I got drawn into a conversation. Yes, in Germany, they do this kind of thing and I'm usually not into it. Everyone was wearing masks, being cautious not to be too close to anyone. Then one woman said she was not going to get the vaccination. I've already had too many vaccinations in the past, she said. And then, as an afterthought she said she worked in the care for the elderly, visiting them in their homes etc. Go figure. I'm really sorry for Sir Tom. It's a real shame that he contracted the virus. May he rest in peace.

I'd never use the sky replacement tool for news, but it's a really good enhancement for my stock images.

Surprisingly, January was quite good for me. Sales volume was above average (I've barely submitted anything in 2020) and so was the revenue. Zooms could be better though. Two sales for February just dropped in. Onwards and upwards.

The UK Press Card is issued through mayor agencies (think BBC, Sky, Reuters, Getty) and organisations such as the British Press Photographers Association or the NUJ. This means that the suppliers/members are know to the agency and that they can vouch for them being fully time bonafide news gatherers and make a living from it. It means that these journalists and photographers are gathering news in a professional capacity. There is nothing wrong with that.

Hope you don't have to wait for the second one too long.

I can't breathe. Lockdown

Thanks Ryan. 🙂

As long as you hit "cancel" instead of "save" you should be fine.
