Update 2: Getty & Christmas at the Toronto Beach.

Inspiration, Print, Teaching point

–

In October, I  provided an update to the above image, Christmas at the Toronto Beach, which I’d licensed over to Getty Images.  The original post can be found here.

Tonight, I discovered via the Getty Contributor website that the rights for this image have been purchased again, this time by a “fashion/textiles” company in France, for a period of three months.

Interestingly, the royalty fee paid was almost three times the amount of what the first company paid.  Hmmm… I’m beginning to re-think this whole Getty thing.

Funny enough, this image was taken with the Leica 28mm Summicron ASPH, a lens I used for only a very brief period of time.

Funnier still is the date that this latest royalty amount will be paid out:  Christmas Day.

The tree cloud.

2012, Favourite, Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Print, Teaching point

The light was gorgeous and the clouds were perfectly placed to make this composition harmonious.

Something not readily apparent in this image: it was very windy (look carefully at the leaves).  I took a second image a few moments later and promptly deleted it… the clouds had already shifted.
