Is there a stock company that specialized in travel photos, or at least does a lot of travel photos and is good to work with?

National Geographic, Getty. I'm very impressed with NG's site and selection of photography, but I'm with Getty and have sold a fair amount of travel-related photos.

Hi Nathanlake I'm in the process of checking out an agency called worldweb.com anybody got any information on this company ?It would probably help several people.
It seams they pay royalty release only and you set your own prices and they keep 50% , don't know a whole lot yet any comments or info would be helpful to all
Thanks Randy

I don't mean to come off flippant, but Getty sure has changed from the last time I took a look at their site. The site looks like crap, and the image quality is remarkably banal. A couple years ago I saw top notch stuff...everything was the best. What happened? It also made me wonder why any photographer would want to market their images through Getty. Your images would be lost in a sea of mundane images that nobody would want to sort through. Is this the correct Getty site?

http://www.gettyimages.com/

I also noticed that every image measures 5000 pixels minimum on it's longest axis. I'd rather have a killer 3000-4000 pixel image than a 5000 pixel that is bad color, bad focus, poor composition etc. I must be looking at the wrong site, because this doesn't make sense to me.

EDIT
I just noticed all the tick boxes were ticked by default. If you limit it to RM only things look much better - pardon my post above.
