I have been published!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Matt. It's a great feeling and don't let anything anyone says take that away from you.
 
Well, I have to say that I am really disappointed with this. I saw the thread title and got all excited....imagine the anti-climax when I realized that Matt hadn't had his first book of jokes published :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Seriously Matt, well done mate :clap:

I hope that this is an omen for good things - and money - to come in the future. (y)
 
Well done, they fly Fifers ken how to sell papers!
 
Well done Matt but couldnt you have got a bit closer? Forget the wheel and the sparks, where's the detailling??

Well chuffed for you (y)

On the back of Matts ticket for this event, it states he is not allowed to take photos for commercial use/gain. As he wasn't a Media photographer for the event, he wouldn't have been able to sell the photo.
Well Done Matt by the way. You now need to find someone to take photos for and get yourself the right side of the fence. Best of Luck to you. (y)
 
Well Done Matt, Okay the East Fife paper isn't anything big but its still a start, even if you dont get paid for your photo dont let that put you off, Keep submitting things - people get to know about something you love, and you got to submit a picture of something that you enjoy and you'll soon get recongised for what you do. The papers will appreciate what you have submitted, as I'm sure your racing people do as well.
I remember the first time I ever got something published, it was one of my Elgin City Football photos (Football is'nt even me 'main' photography sport) and I was delighted, I kept submitting both my local rally driver pics and football pics and now i'm working for the Northern Scot at local football etc and then got asked to cover my local Rally for the paper, got about 6 photos in from that and I was delighted!
Like me your young (i'm 14) and your photos have improved so much this year, best of luck in the future Matt.

the whole irony of this thread (and the heated discussion) is that Matt did get paid. He didnt get paid by the newspaper but the driver paid him for quite a few of his shots.

Maybe I should have mentioned that :thinking:

Mixed feelings on this one, well done for getting it, but i can see where the others are coming from. One problem with this little papers like that will generally not be willing or have any interest in aiding your career.

Have often pondered the legel aspect myself. knowing my luck id have the book thrown at me.

Getting media accreditation can be very hard, depending on what level you want to get to, i very much doubt i'll any as i havent the time to jump though the hoops most outlets that will get you the requirements want you to, even if i was good enough.

Perfect age Matt to get into too it once your old enough to actually get the relevant insurances, but you best bet is the local rags to Oulton.

Tbh mate it dosnt really bother me, i did think about it earlier this year, but i have seen and heard of many good togs quiting through lost earning, but also many giving it away as they can afford to for a while, but then when they can no longer afford to fund it them self the people would go else where rather then offer any payment or support as there was others that would be willing to give it for free.

Just something to be aware off.

Good luck with the local rags, better start practicing some sports too mate if thats what your after for a living.

Fariy nuff. I just didnt want to risk losing the picture being in the paper!!

I hve sold the pictures to the driver.

Thank you! I hope I dont have to do football matches on a Saturday afternoon instead of Oulton :bang: But if thats what it takes...
 
You want your local newspaper editor to think - I need a photographer and all my staff togs are busy - who shall I call first?

Versatility is important. Being able to submit a story at the same time is useful.

It would be perhaps be wise of you to not publicise that you have sold the images to the driver, Mr Palmer amongst others may frown upon it and restrict yours and others access, just a thought Matt !

Me? sold it? Nah, a breach of the rules that :LOL:

I dont really think he is going to say 'no cameras at my events'. That would be a lot of ticket sales gone.

Matt, this is the internet, you are saying that you have sold the images to the driver, it wouldn't take a genius to work out who you are, that you didn't declare the income from the sales and you are breaching the contract of entry to the event.

Me I couldn't care less, just be careful matey, thats all :)
 
Cant see Mr Palmer restricitng access of camera's, just think of how many threads appear viewed the world over promoting his tracks all for free, fine for the tog possible.

And yes Matt all sports may need covering then once you done enough and proved good enough then you might get them appling for any accredition for the events you want to attend. Thats how a number of very good togs i know started.

Yeah, I suppose. All well, will just have to be careful. Also I could say I aint old enough for I media pass. I ahve tried but failed due to my age.

Thanks for looking out for me (y)

Hey!

Surely all this talk of ethics and legality could be saved for a seperate thread?

Let's just congratulate Matt and wish him every success for the future!

I think it's absolutely fantastic/disgraceful Matt sold/didn't sell his photographs and did/didn't get paid. I wish him many more sales/hopes he gets caught and publicly flogged by Dr Palmer*
