Night time travel in London. All taken with a Canon G1X mark III.

When I'm out and about far from a power socket, I charge my batteries with a usb charger connected to a portable compact powerbank. This way I can shoot away while a flat battery is being charged in my shoulder bag.

Harry, you might want to caption this beautiful saleable image and several others on the same page: https://www.alamy.com/zhh008-image224968972.html?pv=1&stamp=2&imageid=ED4633A8-2312-4978-9DAB-F8393B31656D&p=705462&n=0&orientation=0&pn=16&searchtype=12&IsFromSearch=1&srch=foo%3dbar%26st%3d12%26pn%3d16%26ps%3d100%26sortby%3d2%26resultview%3dsortbyPopular%26npgs%3d0%26qt%3d%26qt_raw%3d%26lic%3d3%26mr%3d0%26pr%3d0%26ot%3d0%26creative%3d%26ag%3d0%26hc%3d0%26pc%3d%26blackwhite%3d%26cutout%3d%26tbar%3d0%26et%3d0x000000000000000000000%26vp%3d0%26loc%3d0%26imgt%3d0%26dtfr%3d%26dtto%3d%26size%3d0xFF%26archive%3d1%26groupid%3d%26pseudoid%3d%26a%3d%26cdid%3d%26cdsrt%3d%26name%3dMark%20Harrison%26qn%3d%26apalib%3d%26apalic%3d%26lightbox%3d%26gname%3d%26gtype%3d%26xstx%3d0%26simid%3d%26saveQry%3d%26editorial%3d1%26nu%3d%26t%3d%26edoptin%3d%26customgeoip%3dGB%26cap%3d1%26cid%3dAHY26R2A2NUU2TP53UBTPRD6VCE3W3FTTNYK3CXABJVPSYUL26N66BE3G276YDB9%26vd%3d0%26lb%3d%26fi%3d2%26edrf%3d0%26ispremium%3d1%26flip%3d0%26pl%3d

Yes, No problems with getting accepted as the image quality I'm getting from my Olympus OMD-EM1 mark 1 (Micro Four Thirds sensor 17.3mm x 13mm, 16mp) is excellent. It's only when shooting above iso 1600, which I try not to do, will a full frame get me better results. The new model Olympus OMD-EM1 mark 2 is supposed to be a big improvement over my older model, but I'm happy with it so won't be upgrading for sometime. I only have the M.Zuiko 40-150 f2.8 lens at the moment and use via an adapter my 55mm Micro Nikkor which benefits from the IBIS (in body image stabilization). For Wide shots I usually carry a compact Canon G1x III (24mp APS-C). Till recently I did own and use for alamy submissions: Nikon D3, D700 ,D7100, D700, D90 & D2x Canon 1D III and Canon 6D Fuji X-T10, X-M1 & X100F I've ony been uploading images taken with my Olympus since the beginning of April 2019, so It's way too soon to make any inference about sales, though I really dont think it makes a blind bit of difference what camera you take the shot with, so long as the final output is up to alamy QC standards. Many people here are using camera's with 1 inch sensors (12.8mm x 9.6mm) which in good light is plenty good for alamy. I even for a short while used a 1 inch sensor Canon G5x compact which was great upto iso 800, but a couple of weeks later sold it and replaced it with my similar sized Canon G1x III.

Yes, already familiar with this bird from my childhood days in Singapore & Malaysia.

Well done Luke, keep up the good work, you have some great images on your port.

1st picture looks like California towhee (Melozone crissalis), 2nd & 3rd picture is of a Spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) also called rufous sided towhee.

Down to only 6 sales for $301 from last months 12 sales for £298, since I got more revenue per sale (two sales were for $$$)..so have to say a good month.😎

The Canon G1X iii is small high quality weather sealed campact camera with an 24mp APS-C sensor (same as in the 80D dslr). Its has a very sharp 24-70mm (35mm equiv.) lens. Focus is very fast and it has fantastic ergonomics, a pleasure to use. It fits in my jacket pocket. You can get smaller APS-C compacts, but they all have a fixed focal length wide lens like the Ricoh GRii & GRiii, Fuji X70 & XF10 and Nikon Coolpix A. I've sold off all my big heavy Nikon and Canon Dslr's & lenses. I now just carry the Canon G1X iii in my pocket and an Olympus EM1 with 40-150mm f2.8 (80-300 eqiv.) in my small canvas satchel.

Must be a shortage of fish in the lake if this Heron has to resort to eating a sandwich☹️

If say tomorrow you happen to be the only photographer to snap a plane crash or be in the thick of it during a Brexit riot, then of course alamy loses if you have to send your exclusive pics to someone else, regardless of your past track record.

Looks like a Cayuga duck to me. Parm

So sorry, wish you and your family the best of luck. Parm
