Getting paid

[Colin Brett]

After reading Steve's Swan posting, I wondered if any of us get paid by the local newspaper or do you just get the "payment" that having your image published gives?

 

Are some newspapers taking advantage of this by not offering a payment?

For me its having it published that is the part I enjoy, and the Swan was my fourth although I confess I have not submitted any to them for quite sometime. Its getting your name "out there" and on the back of the swan I will be this week having some printed and framed and put in a few local places for sale. I think there are places and oppurtunities like this near all of us. I dont necessarily think they are taking advantage as long as the photographer uses the oppurtunity.

Didn't consider whether I would be paid or not...a nice little cheque would have been welcome though

 

I wrote for Angling Times and Angling magazine for several years, and of course got paid by them, but like Steve, it is the personal pleasure that you get when a neighbour comments that they have seen a pic of yours in the local paper
