First sale of the month - book usage for $$$

As a pro, I shoot whatever pays money so I can put food on the table, fuel in the car and keep herself happy, whether it bores me senseless or not. That's the reality.

Jeez, someone's getting a nice pay day!

Well done, Colin - superb image.

Unbelievable...

Woah, be careful, big boy! One should NEVER encourage legal action against one of the photographic community...

I guess it's something called life. For many of us the forum isn't the most important thing in the world! Chill a little...

Wow, you certainly move fast, Edo! Good luck with it - tons of stock possibilities there, too.

Watch those similars as well - how many pics of that bridge do you actually need? Also, there's 2 pics of a building with the sun shining through the branches of a tree - they're very similar. Too many similars will hurt your ranking.

At a guess I'd say it's a guide for people moving to a new area - great idea by the estate agent/s.

To me, the camera used is irrelevant. All my shots are taken with a Nikon D3 or D700, no secret whatsoever. Lenses I use 99% of the time are the Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8, again, no secret. Sometimes I use the 14-24, but not often.

Thanks Doc, although your figures make mine look pathetic!

Great month for me - 21 sales for $733 gross. Of those sales, 4 were $$$, but there was a lot of repeat news licences for $, which really hit the income. However, I'm not complaining, in fact, I'm over the moon!

Thanks, Marianne. You'll get there!

I'm getting that way, Edo!!!

Thanks for the spot!

Thanks Helen, I guess I'm plodding along compared to the guys with tens of thousands of pics on here.

Clearly I'm not, and never will be, in the same league as you guys as I started late, but I'm quite happy plodding along! My thing is quantity, yes, but not at the cost of quality. Don't fall into the trap of submitting lots of substandard pics, make sure they're all good, solid images.

Plonker! 😂

Thanks again peeps! Now for 4,000...

Yet another sale dropped in this morning - presentation for the usual fee.

A bunch of my news sales over the last month or two have been for $4.90 and $8.58. However, three of this months live news sales have been $$$, two of them good $$$ so the good prices are still out there. As for June, it's a great month for me so far - 18 sales and still a few days left!

It means the landlord doesn't want to be contacted by text or email - phone only.

Yet another sale dropped in this morning - only $, but that brings me to 18 for the month with still a couple of days to go. Nice!

50 YEARS? That's a joke.
