Thank you to everybody on this forum for all the great info I've been able to learn from lurking here the past couple of months. I've been taking photos at the high school boys and girls games and improving slowly. Then this past Friday I took a photo at the girls sectional game that was good enough that it got published in the local paper. I called the paper today and they are going to keep my name and number on file if they need photos from our high schools' sports, they may give me a call and an "assignment" for which I will actually get paid if they publish any. Here's the photo that they published. I didn't do any editing--that's my next project, learn how to use Photoshop. I'm sure I'll be back on this forum again and again for more info. Thanks again.

CONGRATULATIONS

It's always a thrill to see your work published - make sure you keep a copy of that paper. I believe I distributed abouta dozencopies to friends/relatives whether they wanted one or not :G

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!

You are not too far from my neck of the woods. I am from Watertown and Slinger is not all that far nor is Neenah for that matter. My experience with these schools is mostly with soccer but this is a well deserved shot to be published.
