GMTV want to use one of my photos

Today I had a visitors notification via the AV forums asking me if they can use one of my Sunrise shots on their weather reports.

OK, not as great as it may seem, as it only for the local report within the GMTV report, dont know yet as to what photo they want to use, I have asked them if my name will be used with it but again not that bothered.

The guy said it was a new feature that is going to happen with GMTV so as yet dont know when it will happen.Dead cuffed that they have seen a photo of mine and think worthy of using

Maybe from Manchester when you lived over here(if you did) and still maybe be a horridly show to most now,but its a national show with regions within it and as I said they are asking me for a photo to show with in there local weather show its not nation wide, but the fact is that they have seen a photo of mine on this forum and they want to use it thats fine by me EMBARRASSING or not

Yes you are right as for media interest its been a year since I've had my 450 and I think I've done pretty well with my progress

Sadly if it is shown, you will not see as it will be just for us "LOCALS"

7dayshop is just round the corner from me

Thanks Senu its always nice when you get a response from a MOD
