Any comments. Tony

Has any body else experienced this problem … This is a copy of an email I've submitted to member services… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue has happened twice - could you explain why.

I would just like to say I attended this workshop last week. Martin is very, very knowledgable about the Stock industry. He shared his experiences and knowledge - showing examples of his work, explaining how to create concept images for different markets, doing keyword exercises, analysing images and explaining how to shoot to illustrate articles. I came away from this workshop more knowledgeable and inspired - just like the other attendees. I would recommend this workshop to any one new to stock photography. I've only been shooting stock for 12 weeks.

Thanks for any advice. Tony

My main camera is a Canon 5d mk 1 with a 24-70 lens. I'm looking for something smaller, less conspicuous - say a Canon EOS M or Fuji X Pro1. Any thoughts or advice appreciated. Tony

Hi every one - just saying hello, I've just recently been accepted as a contributor to Alamy. I'm new to stock photography, and I'm trying to get my head around the rules / conventions of Key wording - any advice appreciated! I've noticed there is a key word plugin for Light Room. Is there a plugin for Aperture? Do any members use Aperture for key wording images, if so could you offer any advice on how you use it / work flow. Thanks Tony

Thanks Flintstone.
