How many people have had this happen?? It seems a lot more prevalent in the UK. Over here there's so little interest in anything megalithic that I doubt there's huge demand for anything apart from Newgrange, Poulnabrone and a handful of others. The market for those photos is probably awash already anyway. Maybe I'm wrong and there is a megalithic underground I'm not aware of...

The Irish Times, one of the 'big two' national papers have a big supplement today on Irelands heritage, it looked like they found a tourists disposable camera judging by the photos they chose for the supplement apart from one of Poulnabrone on the back page.

I would love to see my own photos on a wall rather than a brochure or some soul-less publication and probably will try to sell some once I get my monitor calibrated properly, maybe I'll change my attitude then!

well I do more than just megalithic stuff.
I used to use a couple of stock librarys in London but most have now folded.
Image Bank is still running but they want to see 20,000 of your best slides before they take you on.
Having an agent is good becasue they often get sales that you usualy wouldn't.
They take 50% but are worth it.
I once sold a slide of a single white fluffy cloud in a blue sky for £8,000.
The internet now makes people think everything is free. Its not, its still copyrighted wether you put up
a copyright notice or not.
I alway crop my photos so that if anyone claims to be the owner then I have a part of the original photo that they don't.
