AndyMelbourne 116 Posted December 4, 2013 Ritchie are you sure stock photography is right for you?Ritchie, are you sure photography is right for you? Very naughty. Surely you meant flash photography? Sorry, Freudian slip. I meant to ask my wife if my dinner was ready. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BqarbaraL 13 Posted December 4, 2013 Richie being at a red carpet event you really should have had a backup flash and I do hope you carry a backup camera as well otherwise you will really be in the s*** .. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

losdemas 2,665 Posted December 4, 2013 I think the OP might himself be a troll Hence my first reply (or lack of, where I merely highlighted a pertinent part of the original text). I spend a fair bit of time here (far too much), but from here on in I'm not wasting time with users who have no images posted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 54 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) You know what, I thought people grew up after a certain age, but it clearly proves in this thread that it isn't the case And I don't have to post images on this site or any other site to show you, so if you can't take it and behave normally i.e. like a normal human being, that is your prerogative. I know that jealousy is the problem with people on here, hence the level of negative reps I got. So, if you're the one to prove yourself to be that, that is not my problem, just yours Edited December 4, 2013 by Richie 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rooney 3,120 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) I have failed a QC because of "softness or lack of details" and "noise". About the noise, yes there was noise but the image was cropped in order to see the noise. Yes, the ISO used was ISO4000 because I needed that high otherwise there would of been motion blur where people were walking around the place, if I had used more noise reduction, it would of killed the detail in the photo About the "softness or lack of details" in the photo. I was given one example as to why there was "softness", the softness was in the people in the photo at the edge of the photo? Is Alamy really serious about that or is this some kind of joke? ISO4000 at an event? Your flash won't work? And this is your choice of images to pass Alamy QC? In the words of John McEnroe, "You can't be serious!" Some kind of joke indeed.

Several have tried, helpfully, to make this point, for your benefit . . . your studious ignoring of this is at least consistent. dd Edited December 5, 2013 by dustydingo 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 3,464 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) . I know that jealousy is the problem with people on here, You haven't presented anything to be jealous of. Sure, you don't have to show us an image, but if you don't, we can't look at the QC problems for you. That's the only reason we want to see it. Reported.

Mirco Vacca 78 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) I dont like sliming but my fingers are moving automatic to the keyboard to say that many photographers on this forum have some big experience with many images online, people that dont need to be jaleous about anything here, and sharing their knowledge with us and giving much advice. Even sometimes things that you "dont like" to hear. If you take this advice as a postive information you will learn from them and you would see that nobody was attacking you. Alamy has a great forum community that is one big reason that Alamy is my favourite Agency. Mirco Edited December 5, 2013 by Mirco Vacca 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mirco Vacca 78 Posted December 5, 2013 Photography is vision and not talking. You can say much things. You can say your images is perfect and QC did anyway not let it pass. So show us that you are right indeed. Anyway looks like this topic should be close by the admin. Goes to nothing. Lets talk about beer images again .

Alamy 404 Posted December 5, 2013 Mirco is right. Richie - if you'd have posted the image up that caused the failure you would've received a lot of (free) helpful advice from the community. As you seem unwilling to do that, it seems best to lock this now as it's not doing your forum rep any favours! If you have a change of heart and want to post the image for advice, then please start another thread. We're sure people would still be willing to help you here and give you some experienced advice.
