Been asked if I would give permission for 1 of my shots to be in shortlist....

[icemanonline]

Got a mail from a lady called Emma regarding 1 of my images on Flickr. Asking if I give permission for it to be used, shortlisted 1st, and then used in the Schmap Edinburgh Guide if chosen.

I said yes of course after checking them out ............I'm happy about that..............made my day so far!

Here is the contents of the conversation with a link to the image.


Hi icemanonline,

I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has
been short-listed for inclusion in the seventh edition of
our Schmap Edinburgh Guide, to be published late May 2009.

phase.
iii) Learn how we credit photos in our Schmap Guides.

Although no payment agreed,and I don't think its the best shot I have ever taken, having 1 of my shots in the guide (If it gets through and chosen) will be very nice thanks very much.

One of mine was included in the Southampton version of the guide this month (New forest shot). Still not sure why they wanted it .. all I can say is they must have been desperate.

Well done anyway

Hi Iceman, I had the same yesterday for the Edinburgh guide, and I thought my photo was rubbish too!.

[mjcairney]

I had one last year for the Glasgow edition - not the best photo I have ever taken - you can see it here.

Cheers,

Martin.

Funny, I had a request for one of my Cambridge photo's from them as well, this one in fact which is from Kings College

Just had a look, they have not included it yet but I was late responding so hopefully it will be in the next one.
