I thought when we had sales that the amount Alamy says you get paid in dollars was the same in english pounds, so for the selling of 2 photos at £214 i ended up with payout at $76 ,in my paypal account i got £52 a little disappointed !

Congratulations Prashanv on passing QC ,it always such a great feeling.I have only 266 photos on Alamy and have sold 3 total $268 ,just been paid for two of them ,Although i set up an account in 2015 i never passed my QC, so gave up but decided over a year ago to try again and passed .it was only this year i sold any, its always best to read up what photos are good sellers, best of luck you will get a sale soon.

I have a strange question just looked in on my photo Alamy measures ,and found 5 of them looked up by using my first name of Vicky,anyone else had this ? my name has not been used in any of the tags or title .

I have been using a mirrorless Panasonic Lumix G3 for many years and love it,most of my photos sold have been taken with this camera,

I just love the way this bike looks like it should be there it gives my photo a different prospectiveive.

Thank you for advice i will try it now.

Silly question how do i add a photo to the post,

Hi Matt, Just keep taking photos of everything and anything and being in London a good place to shoot loads of stock photo's, when i am in London i tend to go off the beaten track and explore the back streets .and welcome to Alamy,

I really feel photography is for any age,and more and more people are taking it up when they retire as once you have a camera you dont really have to spend much except for maybe travelling around,i am 64 and learning all the time and there's no greater feeling than when you sell a photo!

Yes i am a bit of a loner too,i always go taking photos on my own,if someone else was with me i might miss that all important shot especially if they were not into photography like me!

I have been lucky in the last 3 months total sales $190 for 2 photos one of the photos was for $174 they want to use it for 3 years,.these are my first sold photos since joining Alamy so i think myself very lucky as have not many images for sale,

Regarding what i have just written,just seen that they have paid now ,

I sold one of my photos in June, i found it on a website online and they still havnt paid for it yet,is this allowed?

Well Done John.Hoping there will be many more sales for you,it's a great feeling to think someone likes your photo to purchase,

Thank's Edo for your reply and i will try and push it a bit more for more upload's, Vicky
