It wasn't a wildlife image so I probably shouldn't be posting this here but I'm dead chuffed and wanted to tell my friends on WAB.

Thanks Mark!

I've been submitting images to Photographers Direct for about 18 months now. They put them into a database that picture buyers can search. If a buyer wants one of your pics they can contact you and negotiate a fee, 20% of which goes to PD in commission.

Thanks Kayleigh, you certainly can. Here it is...



I have to admit, I wouldn't have picked this one as likely to be my first sale but it just goes to show, you never can tell!

Thanks Roger! I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is just the start. It's a few more pounds in the D300 fund.

Congratulations Dave. . . That is a huge positive step. The photo is great too. It is one thing to produce a good image but it is a real buzz to have someone else like it and even more so if they pay money for it. Well done.
