Yep. I got published, and paid!!!
Woohoo. Does this make me a professional?
I sure hope not, because when you split the payment for the article between the four main photographers that contributed, it only came out at just over $100 per person.
About 2/3rds of the fuel bill for the weekend at the time.
But considering it's a national full colour magazine, I'm pretty happy. Especially as I wasn't doing the trip for that reason, so any money towards fuel was a major plus.
Only about 4 of my images were included in the article, but with four contributors, we
all only got about 4 images published.
So if you happen to be browsing your newsagent next week and see issue 181 of "4WD Action" then leave it right there and don't look through it, because I didn't like any of the images of mine they chose LOL. Obviously Editors and I have different ideas as to what pictures look good
But I'll say it again.
I GOT PUBLISHED AND PAID!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!
