I felt that he was very much giving it from the agency viewpoint - justifying micro fees. And it is all based on RF. For me the answer should be much more straightforward for RM - the fee depends on the use/ and, of course the user ( and what deal they can do). What he says about Getty rings true though. No mention of Alamy 🥴 Edited July 7, 2022 by geogphotos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasingly, it's an image that was zoomed twice. And a direct sale. But I am jealous of you driving around the beautiful outback Gen, Basingstoke is not so photogenic (I get allowed out of here sometimes for good behaviour...)

I'm in Darwin, 28C every day and it's winter. LOL! I'm so totally addicted to heat now that it's ridiculous. Driving around has slowed down for now. We're waiting for an Aboriginal festival mid-August in remote Outback. While we're waiting, we're house sitting in a bushland plot of land, taking care of 3 adorable rescue wallabies and 3 dogs. Very very enjoyable. Back to nature! Edited July 8, 2022 by gvallee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you get used to the heat. I lived in Dubai for a few years and I wore jumpers in the winter outside, although I don't think it got to much less than 20 degrees at night. I also wore jumpers in the shopping malls, the AC is too cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the current housit we're doing, they even left us their brand new car to use and expect us to eat the food in their fridge! I'm with you re heat. I need a new pair of shorts for daytime. No chance. Even if it's around 28C, it's winter on paper, so shops only have jumpers and woolly hats. I also take a cardigan for supermarkets, especially when walking past the refrigerated cabinets. I have sore throat pills next to my bed, eh! 16C at night! Brrrrr.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 This thread seems to have stalled, so I thought I'd try to kick-start it with some positive news. Two $$$ sales licensed today. Average price per image this month is currently almost $70. My August mood has greatly improved. 😎 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Michael. Things crashed in May and June, but July was very good. Happy to see sales picking up in August. However, almost all my recent sales are older, repeat-sellers, which perhaps doesn't bode well for the long term. Make hay while the sun shines, as the old cliché goes. 👨🌾 Edited August 24, 2022 by John Mitchell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) No refunds this month. sad that i consider this to be a positive now. i should normally consider two $$$ licence as positive, but with the rates of reported refunds on these, as well as the lack of update on Alamy on the whole handling of these, i will wait before I spend the money Edited August 31, 2022 by meanderingemu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VbFolly Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I've just equalled last year's volume of sales, which is not bad for early September. The less good news is that I'm only at about 85% of last year's gross revenue, and 76% of net revenue. Hopefully there's still time to overtake 2021's results.
