Money up front, no negotiations , no money, no photos. seems very scammy to me.

Five minutes in Snapseed, be better in photo shop,just don’t have time. Someone else might have a better time. The file is so small, be better if you had the original.

Enhanced, how? This is a very small image.pretty blurry.

Here’s something I’ve noticed on these sales. A few months before the prices start to raise. Little by little. By the time black Friday comes around they may be 30 to 40 percent higher than normal before the slow increase. Then black Friday deals, only knock them down to the original , before increase price. Making it seem like a good deal, but in reality, you are paying the normal price where if you were to buy it earlier you would of gotten a better price.

The thing to do, is company’s come out with new products later, the black Friday is to get rid of old stock. Wait til January , February, new stock comes out, older stock comes in at a lower than black Friday deals.

Here’s an idea. Print out the photos, flip them upside down so you can’t see the images, put them on the edge of a desk, rubbish bin below, and each one say keep or toss without looking at them, keep goes in a pile, toss goes in the bin. When done. Flip over your keep pile. There you go.

Pretty much what you are suggesting, and it’ll save you time. No software required.

Depends, are you strictly looking to profit, or are you more looking into preserving them for future generations to enjoy and keep your father’s legacy alive? The first part is going to be difficult but there are many places that might want them, depending on whom it is, , sotheby’s does celebrity memorabilia auctions. But for the later, donate to a museum. They will be able to archive them properly, perhaps even print out and share in their galleries. But it all depends on whom the celebrity is. .

That’s way to much for a course, just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean it’s good. Watch free videos, you’ll learn as much.

And then go use your camera, play with settings. Try different things. You’ll learn more that way. It’s ok to not know everything, you’ll learn more over time, than you will with some over priced course.

Actually there is a way, it’s called a ticket. Preferably ground floor or close to the action. It’s going to get expensive. Travel light , small camera,nothing extra.enjoy the game.

You’re not going to get in the press box, or on floor , but you can still possibly get some good photos. As for official, that’s not going to happen right now.

But work up to it. Good luck.

One off tip. You can use a blind. What might set off an animal you are there is your scent. I’m sure hunters can attest to this, same goes for photographers.tge smell of you and a blind,could be a no go for animals.

Really long story,cut very short. Get a lawyer, a good one, have a consultation, if they find you may have a case, hire them, go to court, spend a lot of money, spend weeks, months in litigation. Finally win your case, have the other party pay all your legal expenses and extras, plus the final award amount. And give them a big kick in the arse, and watch them try it again with someone else, with less money who can’t get a proper lawyer.

I miss the days of buy it once yours forever, not this rental plan. Like buying a car, tires sold separately . Still use my old Photoshop. No worry’s about fees or anything.

I’m thinking browsing social media sites in your area. It’s going to take effort on your part.

An app for gigs, just seems like it would be filled with scams, " I want someone to shoot, whatever, I’ll send the money ahead, just send back a fee, for booking" etc. Scams.

Muslin, might be an option. I’d say canvas a light one, could work. I do like paper as it looks good and is easily thrown away when dirty.

With that much pressure and those expectations, no contract signed, sounds like you are stepping into something you don’t want to be involved in. I can easily see a court case, them saying how you didn’t deliver and other things. I would say I’m sorry and decline.

But if it’s honestly like that, that much pressure. The price quoted is way too low. Even for a amateur, with travel and such, editing printing. I’d do a good £2000, either they pay or not and move on to another sucker they can manipulate into getting cheap stuff.

Honestly it’s not worth your time or stress with the conditions given. That’s my opinion.

Get a good quality drone, learn to fly it,get it registered, get your licenses. Honestly a lot of places, want/ expect drone photos or videos will be an option.

Photography is so subjective. Seen beautiful photos, not even rank. Seen horrible photos win. It’s a grain of salt moment. 🤷

Some newer microscopes come already equipped with camera attachments, or installed cameras. Pretty common , they are expensive,but think I seen cheap alternatives on Amazon, hand held microscope with attached camera.

If nat geo wants you, they already know who you are.

This apply process, doesn’t really apply…your photographs and word of mouth are your application. You’ll get contacted by email or phone initially.

Be prepared for a lot of travels. Learn to pack light, or heavy depending on location or assignment and get a lot of days with no sleep. Extreme hot and cold temperatures. Waiting a long time for the shot. Get up at 3am just to sit and wait. But you’ll get too see the world and share that with others. Hopefully if on assignment your family is understanding., depending on length and amount of time away.

You get a little swag.

You get access to some places and people you could never dream of meeting or going on your own and get to be close friends with a few.

Salary, that depends, do nothing get nothing, do something get something.

Not sure what you are asking exactly… But just commenting as a random person.

But there you go.

Easy, enough. The first international magazine cover , and the full center cover pull out. Still have copies of that magazine, somewhere in a box.

Display, framed, matted in bags to sell. Reason, who honestly wants to carry around a bulky frame with them when they already may have other things. A matted in bag can easily slip into a shopping, cary bag easily. And no worry about possible broken glass or plastic. ,
