The limit does not apply to News or indeed Archive, nor to Reportage. I have long thought that the limit is unnecessarily tight for some Stock images. It was extended once from I believe 120 but quite oftenI find to too restrictive to answer all the What, Where, When questions.

geogphotos Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) These Reuters images coming to Alamy as stock demonstrate just how short images stay as News before they become secondary editorial.

Reimar Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I was going to look, but Alamy search is down right now. Not very inspiring. Hope that doesn't last too long. Edited January 11, 2021 by Reimar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that doesn't last too long. OK, I just got in. I guess I'm looking for a different inspiration. I'm stuck at home looking for stuff to shoot in winter. I'm spending more time thinking of something than shooting. Edited January 11, 2021 by Reimar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
