Not sure where this should be posted but as it is in relation to Photography though it best in here, it's not a question but over the moon at the mo!!!!

I woke up this morning and don't check Alamy as although I have number of images on there I never really thought that my work was of a saleable value but you never know.

This morning I logged in, checked my images and couldn't believe my eyes to see that a National UK paper had paid to run 1,000,000 print 1.4 page of one of my images (below).

OK, I don't get paid a great deal for it but it's something, I reall am on cloud 9 at the mo and now really want to get some more time off to get outside and play with the camera :)

Anyway for those who've put up with my drivel here's the image that sold :)

That narrows it down to 3 Dailies and 4 Sundays then. Come on, give us a bigger hint! :lol:


Congrats btw!
 
Alamy wouldn't tell me which one, I'm guessing because I could go directly tothe papers and they lose their comission.

They have asked the paper to send a pdf through which would give it away anyhoo, will post it up if I get any more info :)
 
Looking at current circ figures I'd be betting on The Sunday Times or The Sunday Mirror, unless The Telegraph is still massively overprinting; which based on availability over the last few months doesn't seem to be the case any more.
 
Thanks again everyone, having a few this evening to celebrate, dates given on alamy were for the 17/18th Feb so a Thursday Friday...

Anyone know who would run an editorial on a thu/fri or would that be for the weekend???

I know they are trying to get a pdf for me but I want to know and more improtantly (for me at least) I want a copy :)
 
Magazine maybe - like the Mail Weekend - they are always printed in advance.?

Well done :thumbs:
 
Congrats on the publication Ryan. The facial expression is wonderful :clap:

It's more likely to be for the week following, as the supplements are usually planned (and printed) well in advance.

I don't count how people buy it!!:razz::razz:

And I said "Like" not "it's". I meant the mail pre print the magazines so rather than it being a "paper" it could be the magazine part!! In answer to the printed on a funny day of the week question.
