sort of, Google have taken 23 of my photos for their Chrome projects including advertising but I get zero money, I nearly didn't do this but I will get major advertising for free via Google over a long period of time all over the world I thought it was still a good deal, basically all the photos they use of mine wether it be in a cloud for Chromebooks or normal advertising ie posters etc will have my website and name on, the electronic versions will be linked back to me directly.
So next step is to sort out a website as mine is rubbish..

Get on with that website then Mr B. You're right, it's fantastic free advertising. As I said to someone else - if you need an agent I know a few, they might be able to advise you on this sort of thing too.

This new lens is a real time waster. Happened to be upstairs looking out of the window - it gives a fine vantage point over next door's shrub wot has berries on it.

Sounds like a good deal - advertising on that scale would cost you an arm and a leg!

ok that is a difficult decision. Im sure it's the right one though. Good luck mate!!!

I still think a company like google should be paying a standard fee for your photos though.

It does mention having the box for the flash which is unusual for something stolen. Though he might mean the soft carrier bag they come with, that would be more inline with what I'd expect.

Congrats Mark. I do agree with Mat, but having never been in a similar position I don't know what I'd do. I'm sure you made the right call

It was really the only offer, I did try and barter but they said no thats the offer take it or leave it so of course I took it, hopefully something will come out of it, just got to try and figure out wordpress now or just pay somebody to make a website for me

Nice Song Thrushes, Penel. Now try and get some Mistle Thrushes!

it's snowing here again, v fine small flakes - gawd it's so bitterly cold!

lovely shots Penel, although they could do with a bit of a bump up in exposure, what lens did you get in the end?

I think I have updated everything. I'll have a better look tonight when I get home.

70 - 300L. I do like it so far but we haven't really had any proper good light to try it in.
I did bump the exposure up a bit in LR but maybe a bit more needed then. I think my laptop screen is a bit bright too.
