Paulette Hi Paulette, Yes they are in the water. And I can tell you that I have myself already seen crocodile just there and not far from there... Yes, I am not really good at keywording... When you put a word like "fool-hardy" do you put the hyphen or not? Thank you for your time. Regis Edited August 29 by Regis To ask a question... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYCat 1,546 Posted August 29 I don't know for sure about the hyphen but it seems to me sometimes it just disappears in the tags. I bet someone else knows. I tend to do all possible versions. I just tried searching in Alamy for fool-hardy and the preferred version seems to be foolhardy. I didn't see any hyphens and sometimes fool and hardy were separated. I suspect that is from the old version of the image manager. This one seems to be pretty good at keeping words together if you are using a comma before and after.

Matt Ashmore 893 Posted August 30 Weir on The River Thames at Marlow in Buckinghamshire, UK. A heatwave (by UK standards) with blue sky with no clouds so had my circular polariser on all day. This image was actually 6 portrait images that photoshop did an amazing job at stitching together. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I am not really good at keywording... When you put a word like "fool-hardy" do you put the hyphen or not? Thank you for your time. Regis Hyphens are ignored in search, and the words truncated, so fool-hardy would search as foolhardy. If you need two words separated but kept together as one tag, use a space. A comma will separate them into two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meanderingemu 71 Posted August 30 (edited) Protest in Bucharest. This gave me an appreciation of how difficult the Live News is (got prior access). i actually totally missed this shot in my submission (sitting i quiet park, struggling with crappy connection, running to nearest McDonalds), until i reviewed pictures at end of day.

The Blinking Eye 46 Posted August 30 I just happened to walk by and catch these shots in downtown Minneapolis. It's a beautiful building I remember from my childhood there. Apparently, the architecture is very special. It is one of very few buildings in the world that uses techniques similar to those used in building suspension bridges. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Mitchell 3,059 Posted August 31 (edited) Thought I'd sneak this one in before the month comes to a close. It has a grittiness to it that I like for some reason. Older neighbourhoods like this are being transformed as Vancouver becomes increasingly built-up and gentrified. I captured it with my Sony a6000 and Sony 16mm lens with a 0.75X ultra-wide converter attached.

sb photos 81 Posted August 31 It's been a quiet month with Alamy, both with uploads and sales. Lots planned for September, both reportage and stock. These are two favourites from only 8 uploads, of George Monbiot and Catrina Davies in conversation at Oxford's Broad Street Blackwells Bookshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The federal government sold the building a few years ago, and it was improved and has a rare LEED Platinum certification which is a big deal, I guess. That means it's super green (environmentally prudent). A huge skyscraper in Saudi Arabia called Kings Centre was modeled after it. These are the things I learn when I sell stock photos. 🙂 Edited August 31 by The Blinking Eye typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could still have uploaded at the end of the day - one never knows who may like it for editorial, or indeed reportage. Nice shot [btw - I once sat in a field in my car in the pouring rain. I had to open the car windows to try and grab as much signal as possible, as the reception was so bad (and of course worse with the rain). I think it took me 90 mins to file as the connection kept timing out, and there was nowhere else to go to upload (!) - all I thought was, everyone else would be having same issues ....

I guess you could always mention when you ask for access if it is OK to 'break the rule' if access poor. On a really demanding day, even the Downing Street togs have had problems (I think July 24th was one example, though can't remember the exact date). The rain, and yes excessive use of the available network, can cause problems. Alamy are looking for sales, so filing at the end of the day (possibly for internet, or next days news) is still a sale for them as well - however, you would need to confirm that 'logic' with them Best wishes for next time !
