flickr message - someone wants to use an image
I finally got a request to use an image which has something in it for me! 
A publishing company offering $200 to use one of my recent rollercoaster images in a calendar.
So I sent them a selection of 10 images to look at - and they want to use 3!
Happy days!

Re: flickr message - someone wants to use an image
Sorry! All proceeds go straight into the 'next lens' fund.
I've got my eye on a TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II 
Need to sell a lot more images though

Me too! That or the 17mm. Bit pricey though, I'll have to save up for a few years!

Nice isn't it <drool> ... pity the 17mm can't be used with filters though. It's one bizarre looking lens.

Re: flickr message - someone wants to use an image
I see, prostituting yourself for a few dollars, is there no ‘Art’ for ‘Arts’ sake anymore? Lol

Re: flickr message - someone wants to use an image
Well done Dave.
good to see they had the courtesy/savvy to contact you prior to publishing - I'm in "discussions" with a large establishment who used one of mine without consent!

Re: flickr message - someone wants to use an image

Re: flickr message - someone wants to use an image
well done onefivenine !
As a new member to flickr and a new owner of a 450d I am thinking of using flickr to possibly earn a little pocket money (lens fund etc!) and I wondered if your willing to share any tips you have regards getting your images spotted on flickr to these prospective buyers ?
I only have one image so far (last months competition!)
thanks!

That's an interesting proposition, I think if you want to make money you may be better off with a decent stock agency like alamy. Or perhaps a microstock agency (which I'm personally against) like fotolia or shutter stock.
Saying that I've made a little bit of money through flickr but I don't use any stock agencies as of yet. I think I might hit alamy hard for a while and see if that can drum me up some cash.
