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. ,

Guy sweating at a keyboard, dark room, mountain dew in hand, anime girl pillow next to him.... " I know I'll ask reddit how to not be creepy" heavy breathing.....sips his dew.....mmmmmmmmm......not creepy.....mmmmmmm.....tap tap tap.......mnmnnmmmmm....sweaty.....

Ok so, not to deter your anguish any, but some random website, on some random post, banned by some random person. For a clearly stated random rule. Is upsetting, understandable. But it's one person's opinion in a huge internet . Honestly, there are tons of websites, out there. Don't get so focused on it. Be angry be upset and finally, let it go. Move on and you'll find something else.

Um, Google Earth anyone?
