First license of the month. Restore Nature Now London march through central London, shot 22/6/24, licensed 2/9/24. Image licensed was one of the shoots three zoomed. RM, upper $.

You are obviously on 20% commission. To obtain 40% you have to license $250 worth during the year from the end of July. License fees are now very silly, contributing to many very disillusioned photographers.

Looks like a Palestinian flag in the distance, did they get any closer?

It’s a shame the second image that was the much higher priced one was refunded 2 days later.

Yet another image from the SUTR and far-right protests on Weymouth Esplanade 4/8/24. RM, lower $.

My first Nikon DSLR was a D7100, bought 2 years before I started submitting to Alamy. Later its was joined by a D7200. Both are now with my sister whom I'm currently staying with near Skipton. I never had any quality issues submitting to Alamy with the DX crop sensor Nikon's. They were replaced by 2 FX Nikon D750's, then supplemented by 2 DX sensor D500's. They have a much faster shutter burst rate, excellent auto focus and are useful for more reach with a Nikon 80-400. A carry everywhere camera, a Sony RX100 MK7 replaced an original RX10 just before lockdown. All have specific uses, as do my camera bags. With the mainly poor licence fees I will likely keep my current kit rather than replace with mirrorless bodies. My D750's, 24-70, 70-200 Tamron 2.8 G2's and a Tamron 17-25 2.8-4 are with me in Yorkshire for the next 7 days. Just waiting for the odd clap of thunder and light rain to subside before putting them to good use. All these produce images that will pass QC. Avoid very old DSLR's even if their cost might make them tempting. In the distant past I struggled to sell a Nikon D200, and more recently binned 2 very old Nikon D60's that I found in a lift clear out.

Quite right, and whether they have press cards or not. Luckily it's not as bad here as within the USA. Most here are arrested then de arrested later. The police may have just wanted them out of the way at a busy incident, and sometimes it's said the police didn't want their involvement photographed. When kit has been held for long periods and worse large settlements have been later paid to the photographer. Ether way I'm pretty sure the judge quoted is treading on dodgy ground as current law doesn't match his comment as quoted on this forum.

Combined a day at sunny Weymouth with shooting one of the many far-right gatherings and a counter protest pictured here. Shot 4/8/24 licensed 5/8/24, RM, lower $.

This "Will Alamy be able to continue to exist on thirty percent of its former revenue? How many employees will they have to lay off?" has been my view for some time now, the race to the bottom. The only way some are likely to survive is having no sales staff, no one answering phones and only online licensing. Contributors are already reluctant to put themselves out for peanuts. What further is there?

I sympathise with you and your comments. I have only been able to exclude distributor sales to countries with human rights issues (Russia, North Korea, Israel for example). Perhaps Alamy should make a stand and refuse Russian Federation sales. I would gladly lose revenue rather than gain a sale in these instances.

Or never, it all depends upon Alamy's priorities which always come first. This is a major problem, the system sounds really screwed.

You would likely need to find and read a trusted review that would judge its images at 100% and if suitable for stock, not just low res social media shots. One recent review I saw mentioned 'However, the camera / lens does not have enough depth of field which causes a major problem with focus even at its f/4.', could be the lens design is compromised to fit into a phone body. Only time will tell.
