I have a major problem wit giving local new print my images "for free"
I have been paid several times by both Sky and Telescope & Astronomy magazine when they have used my images, yet the local news rags will only pay proffessional photographers and over seas image suppliers.
It's bollocks that they expect us to give our images for free, when they quiet prepared to pay to use images of the comet from South American and the USA. ( The Western Australian paid for images from over sea's).
I'd expect at least a $500 donation from them to my local Astronomica facility or investment in Astronomy education in return.
Call me picky or what ever, but they get a massive jump is sales when a great covershot is presented.
so what's the going rate or is it for free, just like in the Wild West???
