That was a pretty good estimate! wim

Zero or next to zero. I have no illusions. wim

Have you seen any and if so, are they any good? (Not going to bid - I have my own.) wim

And maybe post an original straight from the camera as well. Preferably RAW. You do shoot RAW don't you? wim -

The Sony 24-105 f4

HCB at work. wim -
So sorry for your break-up. You always looked such a happy bunch climbing those mountains and all. Let's see what we can add to the misery 😂 Broken fire hydrant. Broken camera on the bottom of a dry lake. Broken grave on the steppe. wim

Some are great as an illustration of general safety in those days. (Which some regard as the heyday of motor racing.) wim

Melcher on this on his Thoughts of a Bohemian blog. With some numbers. wim edit: re-reading it one week later: 1 number 😂

Small camera recommendation
wiskerke replied to Panthera tigris's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
RX100 + a little abuse = bad idea. You will need a good soft case and some care. RX100 for bugs: you will need a close-up filter with all three lenses. wim -

+1 makes 3 of us. Quantity discount! 😂 wim -
Stranger in a Strange Land
wiskerke replied to Ed Rooney's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Rijsttafels are still widely available. With visitors we sometimes head to The Hague for the best experience. Sampurna is probably still good, one of the best actually, but it has been a while since we've been there. For the current best, take a look at the Fork. However since they have been taken over by Tripadvisor, the average tourist review has drowned out the true foodie voice a bit. Plus a lot of really good and really bad restaurants have decided to leave the site (originally called Iens after the founding lady). For Amsterdam this foodie blog is not too bad. And as always Google is your friend also. (Just had an excellent experience driving back from Germany and Luxembourg somewhere just off the highway in a place that Google said scored a 4.8. Asian-French fusion! Yummmmie!) With any restaurant with a rating over 4.0 and more than 50 reviews you cannot go wrong. Be aware that some good Indonesian places in Amsterdam are run by ethnic Chinese people and also that some of the best are tiny, because they are actually a takeaway place. When we had restaurant lock-down a lot of regular restaurants started to offer takeaway also btw. wim -

August Challenge: Homegrown or Home brewed Grand Finalists
wiskerke replied to Shergar's topic in Let's talk about pics
I think one must be allowed to vote for his/her own kids 😂 However it currently seems impossible to change one's vote. It is a brilliant picture. However the others are pretty good also. wim -
Stranger in a Strange Land
wiskerke replied to Ed Rooney's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I think you just found a good subject! Hmm, ok I'm behind the times again. A couple of people already had the same idea 5 months ago. Only the just ordinary people doing just ordinary things are missing. At least here on Alamy. wim -
And don't get me started on knowledge. 😂 wim

Not all processing errors are at Alamy's side. The most common fault is saving jpegs the wrong way. However sometimes wrong jpegs do slip through though. Make sure you save your JPEGs as JPG Baseline or JPG Standard. NOT Baseline optimized or Progressive. And remember to include the metadata, which is mandatory on the batch you send as your application. wim

How was your August 2020?

Not good 14 for 585. wim -
weird dashboard
wiskerke replied to Kathy deWitt's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
Hmm Safari on 10.11.6 is totally normal here. wim edit: Also Firefox on 10.11.6 is ok. Both don't fall apart when Zooming in. But Safari does when zooming out. Hmm. Command zero = ⌘-0 fixes it as always. No Chrome on this one. Still try Command zero = ⌘-0- 23 replies

Weird setting of your browser? Try Ctrl-0 (0=zero) Works in most browsers to set the magnification or the font to default size. Otherwise go to view and find the setting for default size. wim- 23 replies

Useful phone apps
wiskerke replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I just point my phone to a page or a sign. Google Translate does the rest. Worked in Japan. Haven't been to other countries lately where I don't understand the script or language. Speaking is on a different level though. 😕 wim
