Last thursday I had two photos published in the Paper.



Then came Monday and again there was another shot.



Now today I pick up the latest edition of Zoom magazine and there are a couple more.





As you can imagine I am absolutely over the moon and I do appologise for blowing my own trumpet.......lol

That is great news!! Congrats!!

Mind to share the story which how you got those published?

Thanks Yi-P,

The first two shots I was asked if I could supply some images for a press release which I did and now can be seen in the first image.
The day after I supplied those the paper called me to ask if I would supply a couple more shots after the action at the track on the Sunday (as seen in second image.
As for Zoom magazine, I got a phone call from the magazine saying that they were doing a story on tyhe Holden Calibra and if I would mind supplying the shots as they had seen them on my website.

Oh wow, thats very nice.

Few questions tho, how did you get in contact with the press or media? Were you shooting as an official photographer or just being there as spectator?? Did the magazine or newspaper paid a small amount for the pics?

Congrats Dave, that is a huge result

Yep, I have covered the entire season this year as an official photographer. I didn't make contact with the press or media they made contact with me

Amen to the serious money or a working gig back in Adelaide next year would be nice...

Hey matey, good to see that you are making an impact over there. I dont bother keeping my papers anymore.LOL Last week i made front page with one of my shots and ended up with 7 photos in paper over the week and well i have shots in every week in Motorsport section so this is good mate to get some good contacts in there as can help out down the track. Keep all these as when you decide to try for accreditation for some events you need to have prrof of publications.

Well done mate and well new would rattle some door down there.

Hi there John and thanks.

I dare say you could wallpaper the house with the amount of press you have had. Can only keep working to get to the same level.

Dave well done and all this with Canon and a Sigma!!!!!!!

Hi there Big V and thanks,

Yep it is an unlikely pairing, but one that has served me very well this year. It also looks like serving me very well for next year as well

hehe i guess this is one of those fields where you do want to be an attention seeker

i recently got asked by a teacher from school to cover a few events, good experience, looks good on the CV, and hopefully the new lens will boost my rate of keepers!

Thanks Surenj,

I am looking forward to the motorsport to start up again next year.

Hi Dave, did you get any shots of the bikes at Baskerville yesterday? It was evidently a free ride day, not competition, but I believe some of the guys had some mean bikes there. Looking forward to seeing some if you got any.

Hi there John,
