Thanks all - this is great advice.

Hi all I am very happy shooting apsc on my Fuji X-pro 2. It works for me when travelling for work as a print journalist (not much travel happening for a while). But I'm tempted to mess around with full frame. Being locked-down in London has left me with a bit more time on my hands than is good for my sanity (or bank balance). Out of boredom I've messed about on ebay and see that there are cheap 5d bodies going for not much more than £100 (and a prime 50mm 1.8 costs about £50) So here's the question to people who shoot full frame Canon (or I guess Nikon) -- would an old body like that be a worthwhile way of learning full frame, or has tech moved on so much that I would just be frustrated by the sensor and AF and be better off spending quite a bit more for a 5d mkii (I could swing that, but couldn't justify the cost of going to mkiii). Thanks all

I expect a lot of us will at last get around to figuring out how macro and close up photography works. 2) I'm going to play around with light painting with my kids 3) and I plan to work my way through the examples on the strobist blog and at last figure out the intricacies of manual flash - if my family will sit still long enough

This makes sense to me. I would think that there is a strong argument against taking down images unless they are flawed. In my day job I interact with the other side of the picture desk, selecting images that will be used to illustrate print articles. It is useful to have a good selection to fit the crop (horizontal vs vertical, and over 1, 2 or 3 columns) as well as the placement on the page (ie drawing the eye left or right into the page). I find it most useful when my pic desk gives me a lot of options, even if many of them are similar. The caveat to all of this is that my picture-taking skills have a long way to go and I still don't have a great sense of what sells in stock.

Ed's point is a great one and a lesson I still need to absorb. Ed, I just looked at your portfolio and it really is alive with strong and striking images that jump out. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all Just an update from Alamy CR as follows, so it seems they are on the case: "We’ve heard back from our team about the below use and this particular customer reports uses every 6 months so this will be reported an billed before the end of February."

Thanks all for the useful feedback. I've alerted Alamy and I'll let you know how it pans out.

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a healthy and happy new year.

Thanks v much.

Hi all I've a quick question on rights. Alamy sold the following RM image (HYAFH6) a year ago for "Usage: Presentation or newsletters, Use in a presentation/talk (eg,Powerpoint and Keynote) or in a newsletter." I see it has been used by the UN in a print magazine and online. https://www.un.org/africarenewal/magazine/august-november-2018/trading-while-caring-people-and-planet Is this within their rights and is it worth my time to try to enforce and infringement? I'm a little annoyed that after Alamy's cut I walked away with the price of a London pint. Thanks
