Stephen Haunts Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi I thought I would say Hi. I have just passed my first 4 picture test so am looking forward to contributing to the library and see where it takes me in the future. I am an amatuer photographer from Derbyshire in the UK. Over the past 4 months I have been rekindling my interest in photography after moving to a smaller mirrorless camera system which has reinvigorated my interest. I think I have always had a good photographic eye but when I owned a larger camera I never took it out with me as often as I should and it killed my interst off for a while. No longer though. I have my main camera with me where ever I go and am always in a position to shoot :-) Anyway, enough babbling from me, just thought I would say Hello. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi. Welcome and good luck. But remember, it's a numbers game - the first sales may take a while. Keep uploading quality and quantity and they will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Haunts Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi I am not expecting many sales to start with to be honest, I know I need volume. I have just had my next 12 images accepted so I am just waiting for the search engine to pick them up not that I have keyworded them. I'm going to upload in small batches of 12 for the moment until I am properly used to the process. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be available for you to keyword in 'manage images v2.4' now they have passed QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Haunts Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi Sorry, I meant I have had them accepted and I have key-worded them and set the license details. I am now waiting for the search engine to pick them up so they are visible. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirco Vacca Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello Steven, Welcome to Alamy. I also joined short time ago and i am also waiting for first sale . I learned from Microstock sites that you need to have patience and keep uploading then suddenly the sales will come. Just keep going and dont loose will. I also am enjoying the extra freedom that a mirrorless camera can give you. It is also always with me so i will not miss quality moments. GOOD LUCK!
