Finally I managed to get one of my shots on the front page of a paper. I'm chuffed.

Also had two more images published on page two of the same paper.

And finally, attached is another article from a different paper regarding the same incident..

Apologies for the dodgy scan work, but only have a poor mans scanner and had to scan the front page in two runs....

Mark,

FWIW, that fire made the major gnus bull-etins down here in the big smoke, but this is awesome stuff.

You must be feeling very proud of your efforts, and deservedly so. Well done.

And how much did they pay, let me guess, being Rural Press owned and all.........$0?

Here's a good price calculator for what a published photo is worth (in the USA), it does not have a Rural Press button though where all calculations come to $0. :lol:

And being a front page photo and all, it was worth $680 according to this document:
http://www.alliance.org.au/docman/task, ... ils/gid,8/

Photo Reproduction
Single column photo $181.00
Half page $258.00
Full page $380.00
Cover $680.00

But of course if you asked for the money, or any money, they suddenly wouldn't have a need for any more of your pictures.

well done Mark and well deserved. I think you will find it happening alot more regularly as your skills in this style of photography just keep getting better.
