Thank you. And yep, until it became too expensive. And when a museum director and curator told me: You're not a real artist are you? I decided you know what, you are right, I get just the same satisfaction out of taking commercial images. So that was that. I figured out I am in it for the problem solving mainly. Here's a brilliant video of someone facing something of the same dilemma on a live broadcast recently: Adam Savage (of MythBuster fame) wim

It is out of date, Not a whole lot has changed though. Has anyone ever used # or other things within the tags? In Photoshop, yes, but not in AIM. In Photoshop a simple , will do btw, but the old semi-colon ; will still work as well. The same in the input box for tags when a whole list in one go is put in. wim

Triple trailers for you then. Maybe they don't venture into Kansas. The wiki article is an interesting read (for traffic nerds 😁). On the road from Salt Lake to Reno they're quite common. I had almost forgotten to take pictures. Besides I was worried about missing the extreme bike races, halfway in Battle Mountain, which in the end I indeed missed. Here's someone (I know) who goes there every year as a photographer. NOx is generic for nitrogen oxides. Nasty stuff in the air and in the soil. Bad for your lungs and it acts as a good fertilizer for the wrong plants like stinging nettles. Nice plants like orchids die. wim

Als het goed is staat alles wel in die pdf. Alleen woorden in een tag. Minimaal 5 tags. Niet vergeten er een caption aan te geven. Hokje is wat vaag, maar behoorlijk belangrijk wat er in staat als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel. Mijn voornaam (hieronder) en achternaam (links hiernaast) met een @ ertussen en .com erachter is mijn mailadres overigens, mocht je er behoefte aan hebben. wim

Yep. I will share 2 though: My highest grossing, which was with 1 sale: (At a much better rate, because it was long ago.) And one of the runners up, which has been licensed 53 times for a total of 3797 gross, but which has since dried up. (Also at better rates through the years.) Now try to find out who licensed them and see if you can shoot for that market/client. If it still exists at all. wim

Some people forget to tick the boxes under the Optional tab in the Alamy Image Manager: Number of people and is there any property in the image. Ticking the boxes helps the discovery status. Also choosing the Primary and Secondary category helps. Not sure if the location helps anything, but I do fill it out as precise as I can. These are things that really help the discovery for clients, and not just the discovery but also the decision making. So in general yes don't pay too much attention to the color of your discovery bar, but do fill in that upper part of the Optional tab. wim

This shows that at times you cannot judge images on technical terms alone. Or you can and then these doors an windows and Christmas ornaments are perfectly fine, because the right file size; free of CA; nice sharp all around and well exposed. Yes these are composed images. When was this ever a problem? Some people seem to photograph people against a green backdrop and compose complete beaches or offices in. The horror! 😂. Some people even are rumored to make films that way. On planets and galaxies far away or with dinosaurs. With secret agents! With Roman charioteers! With superheroes! The utter horror! 😂😂. There always was a very simple rule here on composites and edits: no artifacts. What an artifact is, whether it's noise; visual seams and borders; wrong colors or some other visual inconsistencies, that's pretty easy to determine for QC: Simple rule number one: When in doubt throw it out. Second simple rule: Most votes count. For Live News: no edits that alter the content or the meaning. I'm pretty sure this is how QC works. wim

Nevada - On Interstate I-80 between Carlin and Battle Mountain Nevada. 80 mph. Car more or less driving itself means you can take pictures. First car that kicked me in the butt when I swerved just a little bit too wide. The economy of Nevada has long been tied to vice industries -Wikipedia says. Well it makes for great roads. It seems the schools are good too. The road trains (one of the few places where I have seen them in the US) are a bit smaller than their AU counterparts. - Low $$ Worldwide Presentation or newsletters. Oh that's the other thread. 😎 wim

Must have been nice bricks! 😁 wim

Yes top speeds per country. Actual speed limits on the road can be lower. In The Netherlands, the map says 130 kmh / 80 mph but we went back to 100kmh / 60mph during the day and 120/75 at night in many places. All very confusing. It used to be a quite uniform 100/60 in built up areas or 120/75 in the rest of the country, but the populists wanted 130/80 everywhere. And they got it, in spite of protests from environmentalists and various road safety advocacy groups, But lots of roads were not built for that, think radius or too many ramps and exits in a short stretch, so there had to be lots of places with 120 or 100km limits, which in some places could then be 130km at night. Now it all reverted back to a much more strict 100km than ever before. Not because of the environmentalists, but because of the farmers lobby. Farmers on the highway? No it was the NOx limits they could/would not/refused to observe/have been refusing for 30 years. (First EU NOx limits were put in place in 1991.) So it was house building and road traffic that got new NOx limits. (61% of NOx comes from agriculture and 4-6% from traffic here!) It's mainly livestock farming (46%) that produces it. NO2 and NH3 are the main culprits and they come from slurry or liquid manure (dung mixed with pee produces ammonia: only a problem in stables not on land). The vocal farmers in this are firmly in the populist camp, so those remain quiet now. The farmers have got a taste of blood power and they are blocking supermarket distribution centers in the midst of the Corona/Covid lock down that has started this morning and will last 5 weeks until mid January. All to ward off any caps on their 61% of NOx. No they don't say that, now it's about fair prices for milk etc, which is a valid point. But in reality it's about keeping your troops in the front line. wikipedia stikstofcrisis yesterday Btw The Netherlands is the major producer and exporter of NOx in Europe per sq km or mile, not so much per head. Yesterday we had a run on bread in the supermarkets. Supermarkets will remain open during lock down. There you have it: everything is intertwined with speed limits these days: bread and cars. Anyone remembering Kanonen statt Butter (guns or butter) from school? I do! But they always told us it was the Nazis Goering and Hess. Now it turns out it was Woodrow Wilson where this originated.

But would you own the copyright? And what about the competition? If it's really easy it's all over the micros, and they are all over here. So maybe go for the slightly less easy things with lower views, but still respectable UCO. wim

Exactly. Besides I have no idea how it works. Maybe I should try it. Give people dog ears, or is that another app? wim
