What a week it has been!!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

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?

Congratulations - you're right to be chuffed. I sure hope you got paid for at least the magazine pics.

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.
Cheers

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.

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 :D

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!

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.
