Doc Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks everybody - I have to say that it was not an unusual image in any shape or form so it goes to show that anyone could suddenly have a decent sale come in, so keep going! Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumar Well done Doc, encouraging! After a mediocre June, my July has started with a $156 direct sale, and, as is often the case with my sales, a nondescript image (taken from the top deck of a bus)! I just can't work it out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrid Hinderks Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I came back from holiday last week and discovered that I have made my first sale on Alamy! And this morning a second sale popped up! Not cleared yet but still very happy! Now processing my 6500+ photos from my US and Canada trip.... Astrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Fingers crossed I got an email that one of my images is being considered for a 5-year exclusive book cover at a very nice price. Go Alamy - will let you all know if it works out. Very glad that I kept most of my images RM. Just got full calculator price on another image so feeling hopeful today.

Avpics Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm showing two images as sold today via download report of the same subject, a Mosquito aircraft, for $50 each. I'm thinking calendar as it's about the right time of year. Shots taken in 2013 in New Zealand shortly after it became the first of the type to fly for many decades, and then it was exported to the States so images of the aircraft are quite rare.

I should know within 30 days whether it was chosen for a non-negotiable $950 book cover. Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Same here. Wonder how many more? This was mine: Last time in the end the requested image was used for a fee in the region of a UK newspaper. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I had one too, a $950 exclusive cover, back this past winter but never heard another peep. So I guess mine did not go thru. It was of a George Washington statue as a young man...even got a written release from the museum in which I shot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if I might be better off taking the profit from my latest Swedish distributor sale and buying a lottery ticket. Whoops! Looks like I won't have enough.

Arletta Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I also got that $950 exclusivity book cover offer in April this year. Said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Oddly enough that is about the figure I got for a trade book cover a few months ago. There was no query about exclusivity though they did ask if I could get a property release. I didn't get a release but we did put them in touch with the owners of the property who were happy about the usage. It wasn't exactly $950, price of perhaps a few packs of the amber nectar more. And it cleared quite quickly! Just checked; it was $989 which not a round dollar figure, but I could have sworn it was an American publisher. Of course, I will never know for sure. Rather a long time since the last nice figure. They are getting rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 A year or so ago, I received a request for exclusivity for an image, for quite a nice fee (about $350, from memory). I was pleasantly surprised: it was an ok but fairly run-of-the-mill image of a church taken in Prague. I was pleased when the sale went through and was reported, but it was almost immediately reversed. It turned out that the client had transposed two of the letters in the image reference: it was not mine that they wanted at all, but rather an old sepia picture of American soldiers, maybe from the Civil War (my knowledge of old American military uniforms is not great) which was wanted for a calendar - hopes raised then dashed again fairly quickly!
