2020 uploads?
Windmillskies replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Same as others - despite being in a tourist town there were few tourists, no special event weekends and when I did go out it just didn’t feel right. Uploaded about 300 images most were from grabbing a week in Norfolk when we were allowed out! Martin -
Lens repair
Windmillskies replied to Sultanpepa's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I used fixation a couple of years ago to do some repairs - can't fault them, and would certainly recommend them to others. Martin -
Me too. I've been trying on and off for a couple of hours - getting the red upload failed message. Martin www.windillskies.com

Long way to go on the positive reviews front, but can't argue against 100% royalties. Even with my drop in the ocean sized portfolio I get regular zooms and sales. What reading others posts has done is made me really think about the image and the key wording behind it-so yes there's an element of learning from others mistakes, but isn't that what forums are for as well? martin

SShep - Thanks for finding the train tickets again - that's twice in 6 weeks that this image has been used in The Guardian. Martin

How was your October 2016?
Windmillskies replied to Stokie's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Much the same - plenty of zooms, but not much in the way of sales - a couple of low prices. At least with my still small collection things get noticed in the 60+million so I must be doing something right. Martin -
Morning all I have a dilemma, my D200 body is on its way out! I have 2 good lenses a 14-24f4 Dx and a 24-120f4 Fx - and a limited budget with which to play with. Whilst I'd love the latest D500 or 750, I have at the present moment to be realistic about what to get. I shoot mainly landscapes, architecture and want to retain a walkabout ability. I don't really need high ISO, video or rapid fire FPS. I've been looking at the 610 and 7200 but I remain unconvinced by the build quality - the joys of having a mag alloy body for so many years! I've thought about selling the 14-24 and switching to F
