Cheers Brian. I would never have known about this otherwise as I can’t see it online without a subscription.  A rare plant use for me. I look forward to 50% of $4.78

Newspaper use $$. I get quite a lot of searches for Colchagua Valley. Great when you can sell a photo of something you indulged in.

Missed this if it was reported last week.

Woke up to another sale of my Dad’s archive. Magazine use EU mid$$. One of them is me. You dressed properly to go out on a Sunday in those days.

Based on rest of work of contributor, work seems to be submitted as Reportage more than News (since images from the 22nd are already into collection), so i wonder if this bypasses all reviews

 

not sure if discussing someone else's work unrequested is allowed in Forum TOS, but the captioning appears in line with their work, ie, General captioning for a whole series of image, and nothing particular on each one. 

Yes Reportage bypasses QC. 

I came across this by searching for one word: 'fungi' on Alamy.

I'm guessing that was the aspect of Sally's question, rather than over the authenticity of the original photograph. Would it come under similar guidelines for artworks? Seems a little risky to me.

Indeed it was. Taking a photo of someone else’s highly acclaimed photo in an exhibition (not to mention all the other images from the same exhibition) seems highly dubious to me and I would have thought would open the contributor up to an infringement action. I am surprised that this is acceptable to Alamy.

Can anyone help me identify the fungi in these photos?

These appear to  start off round and then break open to form a flower shape

No. I have exclusive shots of behind the scenes of the upcoming bbc War Of The Worlds tv series due to be aired very soon worldwide, some good ones nobody else has and yet non have sold here except 1 small personal sale  (which I have since stopped and made all editorial) So considering its a major story, first time ever on tv being aired worldwide, its a very very poor return here. 

Doesn’t matter really if they are photos that no one else has. For something like this, what matters is whether the producers make photos available freely to editorial outlets, which is highly likely since they want to promote the programme. The papers are unlikely to pay for something that they can get free.

Great topic. I do like a nice reflection.

Made me giggle, so easy to get into a routine in the morning......get up have breakfast....check measures or  vice versa 😄

It’s down again this morning. I, too, don’t like to get going before I have checked it, usually while drinking a homemade latte.

Alamy says that it can take up to 9 working days for payment to appear, so that hasn’t quite expired. It’s always slower if you are paid by PayPal rather than BACS. However I would normally have expected to receive it by now so it does seem a bit slower this month.

Edit: Having posted the above, my payment has just arrived!

The Scottish Sun is dragging out the old Beast from the East photos again. One of mine and I’m pretty sure that the other is by Chris Strickland but I can’t see it on Alamy

I have just returned to the U.K. to find this out. Terrible. Condolences to his family and friends.

Off to a flying start in October with a presentation use for this:

Good to see that Alamy have listened and are seeking our views.

21 for $474. A few mid $$ but many small sales.

Two sneaky last minute end of the month $50 book sales dropped in, including one for this image taken by my great grandfather.

Second sale for this one. Decent magazine use.

My three:

Famous faces

Tania Nwachukwu, Hibaq Osman and Rachel Long, Poets

Clowns

Lots of tiddler editorial sales in the last few days. The Edinburgh Book Festival has resulted in six more sales this month including one of Salman Rushdie.

I can confirm (being in Irkutsk at the moment) that you cannot access Alamy, Alamy Live News, or the Alamy forum in Russia, as they are all blocked. However, there is a workaround if you use a VPN, hence how I am able to make this post.

A first for me regarding usage:

 

Country: United Kingdom
Usage: Corporate client. Wall Décor. Any size. Any placement. Single Design only.
Start: 09 September 2019
Duration: In perpetuity

$$

 

I got one of those earlier this week, too. Not sure what kind of wall decor you can get for low $$. It wasn’t an image I would have thought particularly great for such use (front of a shop wording).

I found it online used as a guide book cover, etc. Late licensed or probably licensed due to my finding and reporting. Just over mid $$

 

 

Copenhagen, Denmark, 25th May 2016. The Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines MS Braemar leaves the harbour of Copenhagen and is seen out by the Little Mermaid on a warm

and sunny afternoon after a summer’s day in Copenhagen and is now heading for the medieval city Visby on the Swedish island Gotland in the Baltic Sea on a 15 days’

round-trip cruising the waterways of Scandinavia. Credit: Niels Quist/Alamy Live News

Surprised at this license. Is the embargo on publishing photos of the little mermaid not still around? Or is it OK because the main part of the photo is s cruise ship?
