Belfast Lough
Another rainbow, this time Belfast Lough. I had been at the shore testing a new camera and turned to leave when a girl shouted “Look, look, a rainbow.” I turned and fired off a few exposures with the camera on program as it faded.
Contracts and Commissions
Sales on Alamy have nearly zeroed for me recently, although some others seem to be doing fairly well. I can’t be sure if it’s just normal ebb and flow or something I’m doing, or more probably something I’m not doing. I haven’t submitted any images this year and a quick read at the Alamy forum …
