TV3 book of photography

Masada

I got an email back from TV3 today to tell me that there gonna use my photo for a book on photography being released for christmas and to raise money for charity, I had sent it in to their weather show a few months ago and just forgot about it,..,
Does anyone else send pics to them or got picked to go in the book?,.,:)

My first Publication.,:D

Nice one, well done. I'm sure thats Martin Kings book sure to be a big seller.

Thirdfox

Surely they were asking for your permission rather than "telling" you that they were going to use it?

Congrats - you'll be getting a free copy of the book at least I hope!

Masada

thanks for the replies,

lol., no they asked ages ago if it was ok for them to use it., just got back to me to say it will be in a book, and no mention of a free copy.,lol., but they'll probably put that down to it being for "charity".,lol.,

nice one vtec, well done. And a lovely photo too, the blues are really rich.
Fair play.

Masada

cheers mate.,;)

I think you sign away your copyright when you enter it into a competition, they can use it whatever way they want.

Thirdfox

Normally you just license them to use your photo for the purposes of that competition. Your copyright still belongs to you (at all times).

This book obviously has no connection to the weather photo comp.

Just from what I've learnt from intellectual property rights law.

Then again this particular competition could state that by entering you license them to exploit your image in whatever way they want. (Exploit not being a negative term - just a legal term).

Yeah, that's kinda what I meant. That's exactly what's happening in the Observer photo comp I thnk.

Ouch. I'd certainly think twice before entering these types of competitions...

Never:mad:

Masada

I suppose im more happy about talking a photo that is worthy of being in a book to be too bothered.,lol.,
Will at least try to blag a freebee next time around.,lol

Thirdfox

Well it's not really a freebie - just adequate renumeration for the right to use your work. I suppose seeing yourself published can also be considered renumeration too

Congratulations again

Fantastic shot! Love the waves in the background - where was this taken?

When is the Release date for it ??
I also have a picture which will feature in the book but for the life of me can't think of which one I sent in. I should really start writing stuff down.............:rolleyes:

Congrats Vtec lovely shot

They were talking to Martin King this morning on TodayFM, it's out in book shops now and available for €25. All proceeds go to The Little Star charity I think and it's dedicated to a 4 year old boy who sadly lost his battle against Leukemia.

Just got the book and it's great. Richie your pic is in the top corner of page 39. It's not the one you posted first but it's the one you called Sunrise on the banks.

Masada

cool, thanks, there where 2 of the same photo so im not sure which they printed, the other one has the boardwalk in it.,
have to pick this up sometime.,

incolor

I also got included in the book. My first time published also:

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to get the book during the week.

shepthedog

Friend of mine is wondering is his picture in this.. Do they definitely email you if its been included??

Masada

yep, they have to get confirmation that you dont have any objection to it being published.,

incolor

They only emailed me for permission to use it. They didn't email me to say it had definitely been included. A friend of mine looked through the book and found my photo

440Hz

Didnt even know about this until I saw the ad a while ago and recognised one of the shots as being one of my mates! Fantastic shot it is too, I think I was overly excited by seeing it on television, and its not even my shot

cheerspal

Page 129 I think.

Took this with my camera phone, think I might buy an SLR for Christmas
