Fame at last...
Well sort of... got an email saying my photo was chosen for a Schmap guide for Leeds, it is my picture of Roundhay pary taken with the 350D and the 10-20mm Sigma lens.

Here is the link:

Here is the photo, it is nice to get recognised.

Congratulations! I had one of my pictures of Frankfurt's Alte Oper building selected for Schmap last year. It's nice to think you're appreciated...

Re: Fame at last...
Nice one. It's nice to see one of your photos used and credited. They used one of mine from the Birmingham meet on one of their pages too.

Nice feeling, isn't it?

I had one of my shots of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral used on Schmap last year.
