Images sold in April 2023

Everyone is welcome to come to Manchester UK and copy my protests and shop signs photos. One reason I look at these sold threads is to see what buyers like, whatever the fee from the image, so that's the point for me.

If you see my image on page 5, it is one that paid $$$. I do post most of them. Then another above mid-$, a granddaughter. She’s not a baby anymore so nobody can copy her. 😊 If you notice, many of the posted sold images are rather unique, not easily duplicated. I rather expect there are more than a few of us who hold back. So the point for me is from now on I won’t post news of my $$$ images unless they are unique since it irritates some.

Ognyan Yosifov’s sad experience bolsters keeping some things to oneself, proving some people do run out & copy, thus relegating one’s image (even Alamywhacks) to be lost among many.

Betty, I really enjoy reading your posts as those from other fellow contributors and my post wasn't against you personally. It is always good news to read about someone selling for high amounts (or for any amount). I just got really disappointed about my experience in the past...

Go to the full size image on Alamy, then pull the image up into the browser bar so you get a url ending in jpg, then copy that url, come back here, click on insert image from URL and paste in the url you just copied. It'll become second nature in no time. Used to be able to just drag the image into your post but no more. This works in most, maybe even all,  browsers (I'm using Chrome with a MAC)  

 

Welcome back. Hope you get a better $$ next time! Prices have dipped since you've been gone. 

Thanks! I managed to change it and add the image

My Hughie has sold!! Along with Outback pubs, roadhouse and old museum.

It's so rare to get any interest in the Australian Outback. Although they are Presentations for $ each, it makes my heart sing. I uploaded those because that's where I love to travel, so I might as well give it a go. I actually have a series of remote Outback pubs on my social media photography page (27 as of yesterday).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wow! And a 6th sale just dropped in. Another Outback pic. I love month ends.

I understood that after your 2nd post, Ognyan. Absolutely no worries. I feel bad for your loss of an Alamywhack, even if it weren’t meant to have been caused. Those are hard to come by. I don’t think I have any.

@Ognyan Yosifov & @Betty LaRue

I remember Alamy sold a concept image of mine years ago for $250 and I was thrilled to post it at the time. I later saw many copies both here and on the micros - it's tough because I love to share it when I have an idea I came up with and executed. I just shot some photos yesterday & the day before for the new Alamy contest and they are unique ideas that someone else, with time and effort, could copy, but I'd love to share them... but am reluctant to do so after reading this discussion.

 

In coming up with the concept and similar ones, I studied what sold in this genre and what was available, and then purposely did something different rather than ape someone else's best-seller, but I never wanted to be a copycat. 

 

You can copyright a photo but not an idea, so there's no way to completely protect ourselves when we have a good one. It's a shame we can't all just think for ourselves but in this case imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery so I get where Betty is coming from.

Nice to have a licence that would actually pay for a few pints here, rather than a bag of crisps..

edit: probably interesting for a German magazine because the design was by German architect Gustav Runge. It was prefabricated by J.F.Hoper in Bremen, Germany and erected in Adelaide in 1876 by the second director Dr Richard Moritz Schomburgk, as a conservatory for tropical plants and palms. The design is a replica of a conservatory built for A.W.Rothermund at Oberneuland near Bremen, which was demolished in 1933.

Of which only Gustav Runge was in my keywords. Not German design or any of the other things that are in my description.

Taken in 2006, this was the first time it was licensed.

Maybe the fault of my keywords. Maybe because there were not many images on line initially, but now there are 76 for Adelaide Botanic Garden Palm House, 47 of which are of this glass house. But maybe the description is searchable at the distributor's website?
