Hi all I know this isnt technically an aibu thread, but this is the topic that gets the most traffic an I need to share my news with someone.

After a big operation in Nov I took up photography in March this year as something to pass the time. I like taking pics of all diffrent things. ME dp and the dcs went to the hak conservancy yesterday for a day out. We go quite a lot as we are members of it. I took my camera like I always do and took a few pics.

When we come home and I put them on the pc to look at there was 1 pic that I really liked of one of the handlers laughing with an eagle.

I put this pic on there facebook page for other people to see. I got a message from them today saying they love the picture and the marketing manager would like a copy of it to use on promotinal material for the trust.

To say I am over the moon is an understatment. I am totaly shocked by the message and they thought it was that good. We are going back again tommorow for another day out.Grin

Get some cash and a copyright agreement OP, otherwise they can use your image as often and in whatever way they like!
Well done!

heliumballoons · 23/04/2011 18:16

Well done! A new career is born! Get yourself a copy of The Writers and Artists' Yearbook. It can be a quite lucrative career.

Good old Facebook. I have got writing work out of it - so people, it can be an opportunity, not a timewaster!

tjacksonpfc · 23/04/2011 19:19

Would love to make a career out of it punk. Sadly I can't see that happening there is far to many people out there doing photography nowadays.
