I GOT PUBLISHED....well sort of...

Before my trip to Florida I mentioned to the owner of the house that we rented that I was an amature photographer and offered to re-shoot the images of their lovely house for their website. After I arrived I quickly set out shooting the place before my kids had a chance to tear it all apart.

After shooting the interior I went outsite and shot 25 images of the front of the house to make an HDR image to shocase the house in all it's glory. I then sent her all the shots and a few of my wildlife shots of animals I saw within the neighborhood (Sandhill Cranes are local residents as are Vultures - black and turkey, and a turtle, wood storks, and coyotes) Well I just got an email that they are going to use my HDR shot from the outside of the house as well as my Sandhill Crane shots for their advertising on their websites and their brochures. In return - as payment - they have pffered me a week's stay at half price the next time we go to Florida.. I mentioned that we may not be down there again for 3 years or so and she said it didn't matter the time frame.. it was an open "coupon" for me to use regardless of what their rates are at any given time. This basically works out to about $300US or about $100 a picture.

Here are 2 of the 3 shots they decided to use -

Does this mean you are now a professional?
Does that mean yo can't enter amatuer competitions anymore?

The more I see of hdr, the more I like it.
