Update: I've just opted in to Distro and will see how it goes until April when I'll decide whether to stay in or opt out.

Missing Zooms?
Colblimp replied to aphperspective's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
That's happened to 21 of my Live News pics which should have gone to stock but haven't. They're even more relevant now, not happy. Alamy, please sort this out! -
That's a good number, still not quite convinced, though.

Before I opted out of Distro I received some insulting fees - just over a dollar gross etc, but then anything's better than nothing, right? I'm opted out of PU, too. PU is simply a way for companies to take the pi$$, in my humble opinion.

Price of film cameras buoyant
Colblimp replied to Bryan's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
The only film camera I have is an Olympus Trip, bought purely to look at because it’s pretty. I won’t be getting rid of it any time soon. -

Whats your thoughts on improving sales from my images?!
Colblimp replied to Olli's topic in Portfolio critique
By not captioning properly, you're wasting your time. This may not be your main job, but at least treat Alamy with respect. Er, no. If a picture editor is looking for a certain pic and something else turns up in results, he/she will become extremely annoyed, so saying 'it offers a little extra for clients' is ridiculous and just plain wrong. -

Which of my photos are sold?
Colblimp replied to eriksen's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
My first ever sale was after 4 months and 400 pics - you've a long way to go yet. However, your pics are good and once you've mastered the art of captioning and tagging and have uploaded more images, you should do well. Patience is the key here. Good luck! -

Images sold in December 2020
Colblimp replied to cbimages's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
13 dropped in overnight, all for pittance. Alamy continues to sell for pennies, not happy. Here's one of the rascals - editorial for $. -
