Ok - I have been going to a few car shows recently as its rekindled my interest in VW's to the point where I have bought myself another Mk2!!

Anyway I went to the first big VW show of the year, took my shots and sent them to this magazine:

I did a couple from the balcony and the floor which were long exposure and showed the crowds ghosted and they picked up on it and ran one over 2 pages! they still use it to this day as their events page picture too!!

Funny thing was it was one of he most exciting feelings I cn remember when I walked into smith's and saw it on the shelves, I just wanted to show everyone in the shop!!
Even better was working on a customers car on Saturday and leafing through the mag he had in his boot and finding the pic being used recurrently as their events page pic!!!

Thanks - I had e-mailed him on spec before the show and then submitted them. Despite its look and readership its actually a very small concern and only a few full time people behind it, I expected a huge publishing empire!!!

The show organisers are using them on their promo material for next year too, I just need to capatalise on it now I suppose!!

Presumably you got a very healthy cheque?

Well it was a cheque and it was living but maybe not fully healthy!!!, I was glad to be published and considering they had their own staff photographers there reasonably lucky I suppose.
 
well they were good shots - which presumably their staff photographers failed to see! well done.
