Stranger Things, Season 3, Episode 3 and 5 - My Eagle Photo
Jul 15, 2019 12:04:09 #
I was excited to see that my Bald Eagle photo was hanging on the wall in the mayor's office, in Episode 3 and 5, of the new season of Stranger Things. If only I could get credit for it! Maybe they will send me a First Class RT ticket, a walk on the Red Carpet, and a nomination for Best Photo on a wall, in a Drama Series. LOL! 
I don't know exactly how the photo got there, maybe through Getty Images?

No, I did not get a royalty. I sell my images to Getty Images. I do get a quarterly check from Getty. I'm thinking of capitalizing on the popularity of "Stranger Things" since I've heard that some of the products in the season are quite popular, like "new Coke" and the blouse from the Gap. Maybe people would interested in purchasing my photo through my website.

Did you just randomly happen to notice your image while watching the show? or were you somehow alerted to its use beforehand? Either way, I can only imagine the 'hey! wow! lookie there!' feeling you must've felt. Very cool! Whatever, absolutely hope you're able to parley the 'product placement' into something financially useful. (Really fine shot, btw.)

My husband and I were watching the Season 3, when the sheriff walked into the mayor's office. I noticed the bald eagle shot on the wall since it was showing predominately while they were talking. I thought OMG that looks just like my eagle shot! I paused the screen, then looked up my photos on my iPad. Its the same photo! I took a screenshot and, of course, posted it on Facebook and Instagram. LOL! I was laughing and feeling very cool!

Everything is so intensely pre planned for a television show ( especially, a big hit like Stranger Things) . Just to get your photo shown on multiple occasions, means you took a magnificent photo. Congrats! Royalties or not, nobody can ever take that away from you. I think your shot is awesome. Gary
