Example: Backpacker magazine has a photo contest, but the submitter is required to allow the use of the image at Backpacker's discretion with no monetary gain. Your name will be mentioned, but the image may be sold to other 'vendors' without the say of the one who took it.

This is a huge reason why I don't ever submit.

Thats bull! I'm glad I didn't re-subscribe.

Congratulation, that is a gorgeous photo indeed

yes I have. More local though. One was published in a book and two others in a 2009 calendar. The published one was a contest decided by the author of a climbing book. The calendar was by votes only. I won December and February. I wish I could afford a better camera and learn how to use all the functions. I am more of a point and shoot gal. It is all about timing, lighting and composition for me. I love taking pics and sharing. One of my fav things next to mountains and climbing.

Thanks all!

Great photo and congratulations!

This is a great thread because I'm sure Alpinist would not have bragged all over the web if this topic was not brought up. bring on more winning photos people!

You have some great photos Tazz!! I'm saving for the Nikon D90- A little big and bulky but, oh well.

Don't know if it won any contests, but Super Dave got a photo on a cover:



I don't know why every time I try to submit an image I get the red X of death. Here is the url:

Never won a contest but have sold quite a few to various places. National Geographic Just bought this one.

They found it on flickr and contacted me to buy it.

YEAH! Good work Alasdair! That's cause your a kick ass artist! I admire your work.

Fabulous Photo!

Thanks guys, Tazz, Do we know each other? Oh and thanks alot. Your a pretty damn good photographer yourself. Looks like you climb in the NW a lot. I cant imagine I have not run it to you at some point or another.

If we have met it was at some local GTG or something or other. I have met a lot of local climbers in the past 5+ yrs at all kinds of fun functions. I am sure we know many of the same folks. I have watched your work and art for several years on CC. I have been A member of SP since 2005...yeah, I know it says 2010...i won't go into that. No matter, you are a good artist and congrats on your NG sale!

There are some shots that are truly art. Very impressive. I have a suggestion, for those shots that are something special, the photographer should note shutter speed, aperture, etc with the photo

LOL, I don't know how to measure how fast I shiver or did you mean "shutter"?
