This is what mine looks like. alamy page

When I shoot outdoors during the day, if I can see the sun I shot manual, 200 iso, 1/200 sec at f16.

I've just uploaded an image without any trouble.

Most of my photos are shot with a Canon 1D MK IV, which is not a full frame camera. The rest is done with my 7D, not a full frame either. Quality wise I prefer my images done with my 1D, but here on alamy I sell nearly as many images done with my 7D as with my 1D. A couple years back alamy had around 70 million images available, today they are up to 155 million. These figures probably have more to do with your low sales than your camera's sensor size.

Why pay a photographer when anyone can take a photo. When you think that way, you get the results posted on this link of the artists attending the ADISQ music awards held last Sunday in Montreal. http://www.montreal.tv/2018/10/photos-tapis-rouge-et-gagnants-du-gala-de-ladisq-a-la-place-des-arts/?fbclid=IwAR24GqbtW2crdNpU8rvX0fi6Rn65eeDvn5biKvzF_jFOV2ehBhApJHiymh0

Welcome to the forum, and we are all in search of improving our sales. Israel must offer some great photo opportunities.

Mine isn't working as well.

Welcome to the alamy group

The Cloud Appreciation Society. Thanks for sharing, my cloud knowledge is cumulus and puffy white clouds.

Did your guy got closer to the incident because he had a press card, or because he knew the fire crew?

I was with Demotix until they where bought and closed by Getty, since then made 1 sale for $300 from Getty. So I imagine if alamy or AFP make any sales from your photos they will forward you your payment. I know photographers who where with Newzulu when they had an office in Montreal and made regular sales. But it was a whole different story when they closed the Montreal office and did all their operations in France, they seemed to be completely disorganized and no idea of what was going on in Quebec.

My FTP upload speed to alamy is slower than to other clients.

Half of my sales are of fashion shows, the rest are varied subjects from my collection of images. So variety yes.

Most noise happens in the underexposed area of you photos, so a underexposed photo shot at 400 ISO will contain more noise than a properly exposed photo at 800 ISO.
