Just hit the street today. I am so stoked!!! 80,000 circulation, and no, I didn't give it away.
I also had four additional photos in the related article. Excuse me now. I have to go hyperventilate!

I was paid reasonably well by the design firm. They received a "non-exclusive, unlimited, non-transferable license" for their own use. They will probably use one of the images in a print ad, and will have all five on their website.
When they were contacted by the magazine, they told the editor to call me. I think I let the magazine off relatively cheaply, given their circulation and advertising rates, but for a "non-exclusive, one-time use, non-transferable license for five images" they still paid me more than the design firm had initially paid me to take the photos.
Sometimes the bear gets you, but every now and again, ya get to take a big bite out of ole bruins butt. Ohh . . . bad image. As far as the "exposure" goes, I don't see my name on that cover. Yeah, my name's on the "contents" page, and very prominently featured in the credits in the article, but I'm going to have to milk that through e-mails and paper mail marketing. I earned that "exposure" and the magazine made money on my work, so I don't work for "exposure." I've done plenty of work before I got that cover. I don't expect to be overwhelmed with business because of it. Wouldn't that be nice though!

Nikon D200. That particular shot was done with a Tokina 12-24. I love that lens for interior work. Actually no flash used in the kitchen on the cover shot. It was not a particularly bright day, so the windows weren't too hard to get right. I did have a flag outside the door on the end to cut down some of the light intensity. The stupid contractor hadn't installed dimmers and the kitchen was like a surgical theater. That's why the recessed lights are so hazy and bright. The exposure was f11 at 1/4 sec ISO200.
What you can't see, cause they cropped it out for the cover, is the view into the dining room through a doorway to the left. I did light that room with gelled flash. So technically there was a flash in the kitchen - just the pop-up that controls the remotes in the Nikon CLS, which I love. I usually set that pop-up for "no exposure." Thanks for asking. If you care to look, the whole set is here.

Truth be told, I think it's sharper than my Nikon 18-70. Just an impression - no impirical data.

Wow. I'm all loaded up with warm fuzzies! Y'all are so great. DGrin is such an affirming place, even when we disagree or criticize.
