Sorry - had to do this. Just sold my first 'stock' photo to a national magazine for publication. Funny what will sell. I had others that I thought were much better, but they chose the least inspired one I had. But - it's a start. Yay!:D

Congrats! Yeah, you never know what may appeal to someone else. Sometimes you just scratch your head.

Sure, Scott. Here it is. I wrote an article about the use of wood pellets for livestock bedding. A national horse magazine picked up the article and selected this photo (as opposed to any of the ones show the product in use) to accompany the article. Go figure.

Genius, pure genius! Love that shot! Lot's of inspired imagination there!

Seriously, this really is good - taking a look at things in a way that others might not. This is cool!

Well Done Snow!

You said you wanted to make money this year and you are fulfilling your goals.

That's damn brilliant if you ask me.
You have gone into new areas and worked hard at building new markets and its fantastic to see it's paying off for you.

Those that sit on their backsides and whine and bitch at others on forums and on social sites could learn a lot from you if they weren't so busy belly aching.

Congrats mate, it's so good to see people that put in the hard yards getting the reward they rightfully deserve.

Many thanks, all. It's a start - or at least a riding boot in the door - right?:D

Hey, wait a minute, there is no horse in that picture! Congratulations.

Well done. I experiemented with microstock several years ago. The only thing that sold was a picture of a restroom in some corporate offices. I never understood that.

Way to go, Ceci!! i can't believe this is the first one, but I am very excited for you. Keep at it . . .and then share all your tips with me! :-)

Truly, I'm pleased for you!!!

Thanks all. I've sold pics to magazines before but they've always been associated with articles on horse events and the pics. were a part of the "coverage". Never sold a product shot before.

Are these the same wood pellets my brother burns in his stove in the winter? I should tell him to use the leftovers for the horse in spring, eh? :-)

Yes - and no. Make sure, if he uses his stove pellets that the manufacturer ensures that there's no black walnut in there - highly toxic to horses.

The company I'm working for uses a mixture of hard and softwoods, and the pelletizing process ensures that they are sterile. He guarantees no black walnut (luckily it doesn't grow in our area!).
