Yup! I have already uploaded three images but did not realise we could upload as many as we wanted.

I wonder what Alamy expect with respect to Twitter, I see some are just posting long lists of image refs, no images to see, whereas I would have thought that they would be keen to display content from their photographers on Twitter.  There is a direct way to Tweet images from the image details page, perhaps that is the way, adding  #AlamyPOTM of course.

Hi Harry, 

 

Although it's nice for all to see the actual images everyone's submitting, it's actually really helpful for us to get the image IDs, as ultimately, we add all the images to our lightbox which is then shared on twitter and with customers at the end of each month. Which ever way you decide to submit, we enjoy receiving the entries and curating the resulting lightbox! 

 

Thanks,

Louise

Thanks for clearing that up Louise, I hardly ever tweet so not really sure of the etiquette, in fact I see that the last time of any significance was September 2019, and that was POTM also!
