why oh why oh why do people pay people they don't know with bank transfer.

Its like paying someone in the street £100 cash to go get you a k-5, you know you would never see them again...

But that's art and critique darling

Isn't this what the focus assist light is for???

Excellent, number 2 is my favourite but I am a sucker for images of symmetry

Unfortunately photography as a career in journalism is virtually over now. Getty recently lowered its rate it pays photographers to just 35% whilst constantly selling images cheaper and cheaper to try and control the market. One of my agencies has reduced its photographer commission for a similar rate. They sold one of my images from a show to a high selling magazine in Germany I ended up with 16gbp for my trouble didn't even pay the fuel costs.

I know some photographers who have been paid by their agency via cheque and the cheque bounce. The industry is in this race to the bottom to control the market but unfortunately they are treating. Pro photographers so bad most are now having to get second jobs to survive.

I can understand why CNN would get rid of all its photographers the problem is in 5 years time when the out license gets bored of giving away images for free then we end with nothing.

I have travelled with my kit in the same bag for two years now without issue. I guess it was just one of those things...

Both my insurance are 100 pound excess and both repair or replace whichever is cheapest so no point claiming on the insurance.

I think I did it when I was carrying my bag with luggage downstairs from a hotel room in skegness last month...
