The Blinking Eye 207 Posted March 12 My first experiment with Live News. The Grand Princess cruise ship contaminated with coronavirus where one person died of the virus, is parked a 20 minute walk from my home. So I went out there and took some photos. No sales though. I guess by the time I got there, it was yesterday's news. Most stories feature a picture of the ship passing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good images. i have had Sales from Live News, but only found out weeks later- still has to go through billing cycle, plus lots of sales in following weeks when turned into Stock, even for a few images that would never go through Stock QC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did notice later they say there is a delay in seeing sales so I will be curious if any sell. And thank you. I feel like I reached a new level with these and proud of that. But quickly realized how hardcore those photographers are who get there on the scene immediately. Or the ones who got there the next day to capture photos of nurses ushering people away in wheelchairs, or people boarding a private quarantined airplane at the airport. Takes energy and stamina. And no, I'm not simply exploiting the scene for a sale. I live within walking distance of that ship and am currently in lockdown. This is real. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Ashmore 1,103 Posted March 17 As we had probably the first day of good weather this year, I made it out into the garden for the first time this year. (this one is probably better suited to microstock but.... ) But with coronavirus, I expect I'll be taking more shots like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they collect old pens too? Ours is part of this https://www.terracycle.com/en-GB/brigades/bic-uk and it was great to send off a bread bag full. We still have enough writing irons for about 1000 years though. Who writes now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like an interesting scheme. Once this coronavirus madness is done with, I might suggest it to the school... I think they have other things to worry about at the moment like whether they are even going to be open in a week or two's time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Ashmore 1,103 Posted March 24 I reckon that if I am going to have to be a teacher alongside doing my day job (which I can and often do from home anyway so thankfully unaffected from that perspective... I count myself as fortunate) then I might as well get some stock photos from it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn Sky 365 Posted March 27 Angkor Wat Murals, Main Temple: Note: Air quality simply sucked & as result light was terrible throughout the day. As result any outside photos -- even if you managed to dodge all the tourist swarms -- were doomed to fail. So I focused on close-up details, and there are some f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c murals. This is probably best photo, or at least one I like the best. Level of detail is simply superb & extremely clear on 100%. I hauled brick heavy 70-300L Canon lens throughout the trip, but it paid off couple of times. Canon EOS 6D, F8, 81mm focal length, 1/160 exposure, handheld. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually thinking to post Forum topic here "How to photograph Angkor Wat". Why? Because when you travel, as photographer, your time is limited. You don't have luxury to come again, and again, analyze the light, best conditions, right gear, etc etc. Its today you are there, tomorrow you are not and probably will never be again. In my 3 days there I learned quite a few things --- from correct decision to rent bicycle in Siem Reap, to shift focus to interiors/murals/ceilings, to best strategy about fabled sunset, to .. Its just that we have this virus now & travel is nobody's option. Maybe I will once this is all over, could help someone 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brizbee 41 Posted March 28 Had just finished taking a shot of some early spring flowers and was packing up my camera when I turned round and found this chap staring back at me. Probably not the best picture I've ever taken but it made me smile. Plus it's probably as close as I am ever, EVER, going to get to taking a selfie! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
