I had a couple of deer shots that I took at knole Park in Sevenoaks which were on the Alamy stock photography site.

When I heard about the NT policy a couple of years ago I emailed the NT and asked for their permission to use my images for commercial use. They replied and told me that half of Knole Park was privately owned and because they couldn't tell which part of Knole Park my images were taken in I would need to contact the private owners for permission. I then contacted the family that own the rest of the site and they said that they had no problem with me using my images for commercial use.
A few months later Alamy contacted me and said that they had removed my images form their stock because the NT had complained about them! I sent copies of my emails to Alamy from both the NT and the private owners of the site. Alamy said that they would investigate my case and I never heard from them again. I haven't uploaded anything to the Alamy site since because I can't be bothered with the hassle.

Best regards,
