I subscribe to Australian Photography Magazine, and the first volume for next year arrived today in the mail. Imagine my delight when I opened it up and saw this:-
I submitted this photo of Maggie to the magazine a couple of months ago, as an entry into their monthly competition – I did not win anything, but it is the first time a photo of mine has made it into print and I’m rather chuffed to say the least!
Thanks to those of you who continue to say good things about my shots, and for suggesting I should try and sell them online. I had never thought of this, but have now followed up by doing a bit of research into those companies that sell stock photos, and how one can submit your images for sale. I’m not convinced that one might make much money from the sort of pictures I take, but I think I might give it a go…..watch this space!
PS – A few days after this post, I received a phone call from the Publishers, to advise me that they would give me a six month extension on my subscription for the publication. How good is that??
Congratulations, very exciting.
It’s such a great shot I am not surprised it is in a magazine. And now you’ve won a competition. It’s all amazing and what a great beginning to your new year. You are so motivating to your readers. I’m on the hunt for my instruction booklet to my Pentax Kx (which I love but have never taken full advantage of). I will never be as good as you, but I still enjoy my camera.
I think you should keep submitting photos. I believe you are good enough to be giving your own seminars! Congratulations.
Congratulations. That is one lovely photo.
Way to go you and the beautiful Maggie!
Well deserved! Congratulations!
Awesome, what a thrill, well done!
Well done! That’s a brilliant achievement.
Congratulations! How very encouraging for you Sue and so well deserved.
My sister went into the ins and outs of selling photos on the internet. Apparently you should encrypt your mark somehow in the photos or they get stolen from you by people who then use them to make money at your expense. Good luck and I know you’ll be successful.
Well worth boasting about Sue, congrats and keep up the shutter bugging…
Looking forward to great things in 2012..

Susan — Boast you should!! What a fantastic coop! Great photo of Maggie. And yes, do consider selling you photos, try fine art sales on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/ There are lots of photographers, but check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlueMuseArt?ref=em.
That’s great, well done, I am still hanging out for your 1st exhibition.
You may boast, but I like the frog hanging around here better!
Well done!
