Being Published

Hi,
Ive just received word that a few of my photos from Mondello Park on their Truck Day are being used in Fleet Magazine. I dont know which images yet, but when i receive my copy of the mag i will post the images. I am supposed to be credited as the photographer but wont know till i see it. Might make it a bit easier to get accreditation further down the rd.
A big thanks to Simon Arron, and everyone else for tips and advice prior to that day. (please keep it coming)

Just thought id share my bit of good news.

Derek

Well done

Yes well done indeed... How dis they find out about the images you had..

Thanks guys. I had made a deal with the promoter of mondello that I would give mondello park my images for promotion in return for access to the track and pits so I could learn how to take shots of Motorsport. The truck day was my 2nd time there. I don't receive payment but I do enjoy learning and the time I'm there. It's very hard to get accreditation to get access so I feel lucky that I managed to talk him into it.

Well done Derek. Good story..

Give that man a round of well deserved applause

Thanks guys

Pleased to hear that Pentax is gaining a broader trackside footprint. Well done - and best of luck with future commissions. I look forward to seeing the results.

Well done Derek, great credit due to you!

Well done, good to hear.

I've had some images in the last couple of issues of "Ceili" an Irish dancing magazine. No-one on here is likely to see it as it is only distributed within the irish dance community (my wife and daughter have a small irish dancing school).

Nice one Steve, Congrats

I received my copy of the magazine this morning and these are the shots they used, i have tried to reproduce the way they cropped them. I was surprised they didnt use some of the other shots, just goes to show what little i Know

I had the same discusssion with Peter Elgar link.

It seems you'r not looking for the "best photograph", you have to think about the one that can be best used.

Congratulations on getting these published Derek.

Look forward to seeing more of your shots.

Regards

George

Yes, I agree with this. On the few occasions when I have had stuff published the editors seldom use my favourite images. It is more a question of what fits best on the page or can be overprinted with text without losing the key elements of the shot.
