Alan Beastall Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Two images this month so far. The Azuma high speed train operating on the East Coast Mainline. Sold several times. That's an utterly awesome picture! 😮 Thanks Colblimp, Shot with a 12mm-24mm lens to get the depth of field at 1/4000 sec. to freeze the speed of the train traveling at about 130 m.p.h.. I was quite safe behind the metal fence. Alan 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting up portfolios with Alamy is relatively hassle-free compare to working directly with clients, or teaching photography at a university, at least for me. i suspect that the lowest licensing fees come from bulk deals. Alamy's time also wouldn't be getting minimum wage if those deals were negotiated one to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, you've a small port at the moment, as it grows, so will the sales and prices. Good luck! OK I'll keep rolling the stone back up that hill! Thank you for the nudge. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i was slowly understanding what could be of interest in Alamy world vs what i was doing just to keep mentally active now that i am not on the move, but my last sale for mid $$ was for a protest of the type we get a lot in Ottawa because it's the Capital and it looks good to stand in front of parliament. I thought had zero chance of getting any attention. The protest was so small (50-60 people) i didn't even bother uploading through Live News, just did one global shot of everything, no individual signs, and then went for a nice walk along the river, only loading image next day. and it sold within a month. so who knows. i think your imagery is great, loved your Orange shot!, so go have fun and do what you do best One of the best parts of this endeavor has been meeting this great community. Thank you! A friend of mine and I dress up to go to protests (though now I'm focusing on taking pictures), but we've noticed that you get way more media attention at smaller protests because you stand out more. The four photos I've sold are from the San Francisco Womens March in January 2017 and they are still selling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blinking Eye Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 6 hours ago, sb photos said: I've sold either a single protest image multiple times, and multiple individual images from a protest, also sometimes unfortunately none. I am unlikely to add more to my port for a while as in Englands new lockdown political protests are banned. In the previous lockdown they weren't. I made sure I photographed 2 XR protests last Saturday as it was most likely we were going into lockdown again, and we did today. Wow. I don't think they can ban political protest here, whatever the case. It would be a legal can of worms. We had enormous protests here in June and studies showed that COVID didn't really get passed around because people were outside, moving around, even if not everyone was wearing masks all the time. There was no evidence of any kind of local spike afterward, unlike after Trump rallies where few wear masks and they all stand huddled together, often indoors.

They have railway tracks in Austria that run through villages with no barriers or fences. Generally a lot less litter around too. But also much much less densely populated than the UK.....

This thread has encouraged me to upload a bunch more photos, so I'll hopefully reach 500 soon. Yes, Biden has won and I think we can ease our hearts a little, but so many challenges remain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been pro-Armenian protests here in San Francisco, one was across the Golden Gate Bridge. There was another one on the same day of the Women's March I attended. Unfortunately, my SD card ran out of space so I couldn't capture any pictures of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
