I'm off to West Wales in the morning and looking at the news see there's been an expolsion at Milford Haven. Got me thinking.
Say I'm out and about with my camera and happen to photograph an news worthy event or even an exclusive, what should I do with the images. Obviously they have a short shelf so how do you submit them asap to the press and who would they be submitted to:thinking:
 
Before you leave home, make sure you have the name, phone number and email address of the editor of the Western Mail - is that still the major newspaper in that area? - and some way of emailing the pictures to him/her.

If you get an interesting shot, give him (that's a uni-sex "him") a call and ask if he's interested. If he is then email the pics and discuss what they're worth. Make sure he's aware that he can't use them until you've agreed the price.

Happy hunting :)
 
Sorry Steve I think I've mislead you with the W Wales bit. I was thinking in general terms. You know, you're out one day and capture something big by chance.
 
You just pick up the phone ring SWNS or Rex or if your more more northen try caters or ross parry. Have a chat and if your both happy let them move your pics for you.

My mistake, Rhod, I was in a hurry this morning and didn't see that your second sentence was just a general question :shrug:
