Just goes to show, all i did was post it on flickr. No sign of money, but i'm not fussed. Talk about getting exposure! ;D Worldwide distributed book should do it. ;D Heres the shot i got in: (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2005/2216779265_1144b8a6c9.jpg?v=0) Sooo Chuffed! Shame its not riding, just took it arsing around whilst bored... :) Wish i'd bothered to centre the flash ::) Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published!

Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: PRobinson on April 10, 2008, 08:49:43 AM Well done, there must be millions of photos on flickr.
I remember you saying you werent even that happy with that photo ;) Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: tris686 on April 10, 2008, 15:36:07 PM Like i said, the fact the flash is off centre bugs me loads! :D
I *think* i get a copy of the book. Pretty good buisness plan.. fill a book with photos your not paying anything for then print and sell... ::) Atleast i'l have coverage though :) Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: jam bo on April 10, 2008, 15:46:24 PM hate to rain on your parade mate but its a scam.
they use your photo, for free, and expect you to buy a copy of the book? Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: tris686 on April 10, 2008, 15:59:33 PM Not really a scam, the book gets published, sold on amazon etc.
I get a mention, and a link to my online gallery. People see that. Yeh they get to use the image, but i do not pass over the image rights. And no i don't have to buy the book, think they send me one. If they don't i'l ask for one, if i don't get one, im not buying one. Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: supercross on April 10, 2008, 17:12:45 PM The way it's worded makes it sound like a scam to me :-\
They should be politely asking for your permission and offering you payment, not making out as if you have won something. They are making money from your hard work, so you should be compensated. Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: supersize on April 10, 2008, 17:42:57 PM Iv seen these before,
they dont publish the work or sell it on amazon its just 1 of those like clubs on flickr.. Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: Milky on April 10, 2008, 19:55:44 PM i was offered one of these once and even though i dont have bills was advised to steer clear saying a free book wont pay my gas bill and they had nothing to say to that ha but nice one man i love the shot , really creative
Title: Re: A shot of mine is getting published! Post by: Biscuit Fuelled on April 10, 2008, 23:07:45 PM Nice shot, but as others have said, I'd be wary.
