<To be read in the style of Tom Baker>

I was reading through the latest Nov/Dec issue of Britain Magazine (available at all good newsagents), when I found two of my photos inside.
Here's the cover page and one of 'em.

Computer says Yes

If anyone wants a signed copy, I'll meet you outside WH Smiths on Saturday at 1pm

Well done I hope you're happy, whether or not they paid is a matter for you to decide if you were happy to give the photo's away then thats fine.

Thank you both.
Yes, I'm very happy.
I will get paid for it, but at the time of writing, I don't know how much that figure will be.

Lovely photos. Can you post them here or are they "exclusive"?

Thank you.
The photos aren't exclusive, but I think the OC forum has some rule in place, that forbids a photo with a watermark being posted.
The first photo is the exterior of York Minster (in the OP) and the second is a cropped photo of one of the stained glass windows inside the Minster.

Have you got permission from the minster to sell the picture taken inside?

No, I had a vision from God, he gave me permission.
Also it was taken from the middle of the road.
God also said, that if York Council complain about the photo.
That I should tell them, and I quote "to fornicate with beasts LOL".
He actually used "LOL" in the vision. Which I have transcribed to parchment, or Notepad as it's known in Windows.

Just checking to many people get caught out by the no commercial photography rules inside these places. Shot from the outside in a public space you are of course covered unless it is the Eiffel Tower with the lights on as the lights are copyright lol

OK, I understand.
You must have "psychotic" powers, I'll be taking photos of that tower next week

I've already taken some of Blackpool Tower in July, so I'm expecting it to be a anticlimax

I really enjoyed taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower it is so iconic and there are some great composition opportunities!

Nice one

Good work! nice feeling when you flip the page and there's your image, the same page countless people the country over are going to be seeing!

Only sad thing is that once you're done, you file it on the shelf and that's that over and done with!

Thank you

Agreed.
Those were my 15 minutes of fame.
