Alamy Seminar, Nottingham, update.

Dear reader, I do hope you'll forgive me for re-posting this article about our Alamy seminar, however I do feel that keen amateur photographers, and professionals should be seriously considering using Alamy to earn an extra income!

Having followed Pete Jenkins' (the Alamy tutor) advice, I have made my first sale on Alamy. A media Company has paid $290 dollars to use one of my quite ordinary images of a church in Ilkeston.

I only have 200 images online with Alamy, and have only been taking it seriously since Pete Jenkins gave his first talk, on Alamy, at Calumet Nottingham. Pete Jenkins is a lifelong career photographer, he has worked for the major newspaper titles, ran his own photo agency, and provided editorial and commercial photography. He is a customer, and friend, of the Nottingham Branch. We are always keen to support our local customer base, and many of our seminars are hosted by local photographic experts - such as Pete.

I hold down a busy job managing Calumet Nottingham, yet I'm glad I found the time to put some images online with Alamy. This will be an excellent extra income, in the longer term, that will help pay for extra camera kit.

I cannot recommend Pete Jenkins' Alamy seminar strongly enough. I will be glad to share my own modest experience, but do get yourself on the seminar on 11TH December, Calumet Nottingham.

Phone 0115 9586888 (Nottingham Branch) or 08706 03 03 03 (Direct Sales) and quote ZSMNOT0046 and book before the end of November to receive the early booking price of £30 for the Alamy seminar (normally £45).

Regards,

Jason Batterham

Land Rover Seminar "Live Shoot" with Tim Wallace

Many thanks to Tim Wallace and Landrover for an excellent day at the Land Rover Experience in Halewood.

Supported by Hasselblad, Nikon, Epon, Profoto and Lowepro and a scattering of Calumet staff, seminar attendees were taken to the Land Rover off-road area where Tim took them through the Land Rover & Lighting set up and processes involved in getting that one amazing shot.

Despite a chilly wind and threatening skies, the weather held off and thankfully remained dry for the duration of the seminar.

During the afternoon, the group was split into 2, with one group working on the parked Land Rover and another group working on a Land Rovers being driven round the course for the attendees to structure their own photography and work out how to take the best shots themselves.

All in all an excellent day - thanks to everyone involved for their hard work and effort !!

Drummond st and Manchester 70th Celebrations

A big thank you to all our staff, customers and key suppliers for making our 70th Anniversary Celebrations such a big success. the events were held in London at our Drummond Street store and in our Manchester store during the week beginning 5th October.

There were record numbers of customers attending, who took full advantage of the demonstrations and knowledge imparted by the key suppliers who attended the events - Canon, Nikon, Lowepro, Bowens, Epson, Fuji, Sigma, Hasselblad, and onOne. Sensor cleaning "while you wait" was also offered and proved to be extremely popular as were the Bowens lighting demos.

Wine and snacks were served up in the evenings to those who had either stayed the distance or made the effort to come along after work. Altogether two fantastic, busy and exhausting days! Thanks to everyone who attended and we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did - till the next 70th!!

New Canon 1D Mark IV

Canon is bringing DSLR video to the next level, literally. Today marks the introduction of the EOS 1D Mark IV, the first of this legendary pro line to feature full 1080p HD video. But that's not the only way the camera expands the potential of your photography.
When a split-second can make the difference between a front-page shot and one that sits in your archive, the 1D Mark IV ensures the height of responsiveness. Pushing the limits of ISO and featuring fast new autofocus technologies, the camera is a dream for sports and wildlife photographers. Due out at the end of December.... watch this space!
