I wonder if anyone has any comments/suggestions regarding the following. I’ve just got a camera decent enough to consider submitting some photos to a stock site, namely Adobe Stock. But .... I have a photo taken some years ago which I know is saleable, but is not of a sufficient quality to be accepted.
I was in the mountains near Montenvers when the Bonatti Pillar on the Dru collapsed. Whilst being of no interest at all to 90% of the population it was a huge event in rock climbing - the destruction of a historic feature which destroyed numerous famous climbs. I only had an Olympus CZ Wide-Zoom (I think it was called) and no time at all to check the camera settings - I just shot it. How do I know it’s a saleable image? When it was on the UK Climbing website I was approached by the British Mountaineering Council, who used it in their “Summit” magazine, and by a Swedish outdoor magazine who used it in an article on climate change in the Alps.
Adobe Stock won’t touch it due to image quality. Is there any way I could get it into the marketplace? I bet nobody said to Robert Capa, “Sorry, Bob. They’re a bit fuzzy!”
I’ll try to upload it a bit later.
