But this image of the Seattle ferry going to Vancouver was planned. And it's a repeat seller. I remember that one, Edo. Very nice. However, the ferry is probably heading to Victoria. Unfortunately, there isn't any ferry service between Seattle and Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so helpful to be informed. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Thanks for reminding me of that, John. Actually, I have the ferry going to Bainbridge Island in the cap, which I think is correct. That's a nice part of the world and no rainier than here. I could go for some of that wild salmon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the ferry could easily be going to Bainbridge Island. The Seattle area is definitely a great place to visit. Wish I could get down there more often. The weather is similar to Vancouver's -- sunny when it isn't raining. 🌦️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 7 hours ago, Sultanpepa said: Pleased with this one because of the back story. Poor weather conditions and unsure of an accurate arrival time meant a very early start. After a few hours wait the HHS Queen Elizabeth can into view on Loch Long at Glenmallan for loading of ordinance. Between times I managed to get myself into an off road parking spot, inadvertently beating a road closure and subsequently being checked out and name taken by CID. They let me stay because of their mistakes but warned me that they may have to return and move me on. They didn't return though and I had my news pictures. Unfortunately they didn't sell. Wasted journey? Not quite. I enjoyed the trip, the ship was impressive and I have some nice images of her. This is my favourite. That must have been a real thrill. I would have loved to be there. I’ve been up Loch Long on a small boat, but we split off to Loch Goil and spent a night off Carrick Castle. The whole area is fascinating to me, even the quiet kind of stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 biggest thrill prolly 2000 driving I-395 on way to afternoon in The Everglades corner of me eye did double-take one of billboards overlooking busy raised highway had OMG moment shouted to friends, "THAT'S MY PHOTO!!!" back then a billboard paid $3K+ gross... (photo below is same ad different location) https://www.photosphotos.net/Billboard-from-slide-dupe.JPG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Well.... This is my highest grossing image ever (single sale). Nothing special, really the sort of shot that I wouldn't normally bother putting on Alamy, I just liked the symmetry of the canal locks. This is one of my repeat sellers and one of only a few images I have licensed from Iceland. It's difficult to vie for position to photograph at a lot of famous locations. And this photographer was in prime position and wasn't getting out of the way. So I took the shot more out of frustration than anything. Thanks dude! Also a repeat seller. One of few times time I actually asked if I could take someone's picture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avpics Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 A pre stock photography image taken to offer to aviation magazines/fun (remember that!), given for free to the Reds, used by them in publications and presentations found me in receipt of a base visit where I got to see it in the wild. Since joining and uploading to Alamy this and images gained from that base visit have sold numerous times so the time spent searching out a vantage point that day has worked out well. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Perhaps my least expected success, this has been used on two book covers. 'Dark Pedagogy' and 'Varieties of Right-Wing Extremism in Europe'. Yes, it's a mushroom. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see some keywords like left to right and divergence or branching off leading to the second cover. But Dark Pedagogy? They do have a Facebook page. But I may have to read the book to understand what this weird secret society (their own words) is all about. Maybe the keyword underside?

It shows the importance of thinking hard about keywords - even if you can't work out which ones worked.
