Woohoo, first picture sold - for actual real cash....

As the title said, I'm well chuffed as I've sold my first photograph for actual money.
I had some of my shots selected to go on the getty images thing on flickr.
And one just sold. I made a massive $28......

Ok so I wont get rich from it, but in no way do I class myself as a photographer. I just click and hope for the best - well maybe a little more than that but not much!

Nice one

One of mine is going in 911 and Porsche world soon, but getting paid for it may have to wait!

Thanks guys, the funny thing is (well funny to me anyway) it is IMO the worst of the bunch Getty selected to put in their system.

The one that sold is this one - taken with my old point and shoot:



The others they chose are in my flickr set here:

Just to say, personally I think its a great picture, simple and pleasing on the eye.

Thanks. It is a nice picture, but I think I probably had the camera set to auto and it hasnt been touched up or photoshopped at all afterwards.
