Australia_Canning Stock Route Trip_2009
F1000_017_one of the last sand dunes to cross.
I sold this shot to ORCA Book Publishers and the shot is still credited as "Cover Photography by Getty Images" in the Kindle edition.
It may have later been changed in the print edition after the first print run, but certainly not on the copy I have.
I informed Getty of this error but never received a reply. The story may be different if I had claimed that this was a Getty Image. Cancelling the small print run would have been far too expensive for the small publisher of publications for reluctant readers and not been much good to the author either. So I left it be, but learnt a valuable lesson for selling photos.
Thankfully, I don't have to sell photos for a living! :)
