My Actifit Report Card: November 20 2019 A telecommute day and not too much walking or not much of interest, but...

A telecommute day and not too much walking or not much of interest, but...

Today I took a telecommute or work from home day, I was up early as usual, well not as usual actually slept in till about 5:30 which for me is a good sleep in. I popped to the supermarket before my wife got up and got what we needed, its was about a freezing point outside so I was not motivated for a walkout in the cold so I did a few loops around the supermarket while getting what we needed, not to many loops as I always think they will notice me doing that and then come up to me asking me what I am up to or kick me out without the things I need LOL

After lunch, the wife and I went for a walk around the mall again as it was quite overcast and she did not want to walk outdoors, but I will share a shot I haven't shared before but will include one I have shared before as it was something that happened today.

This is the photo I am referring to

This is an older shot taken back in 2017, and the reason I am sharing it today is I was contacted by an overseas magazine who wanted to purchase a digital copy for use as the cover on an upcoming issue of their magazine, which is always such a good feeling when someone you don't know likes your photo enough to use for this purpose, we went back and forth a little and agreed on the details and hence why I felt like sharing it in this post.

I looked through my edited photos for something else I can share with this post and came up with this one which I do not think I have shared before, a dog photographer

As you see its not a photographer that takes shots of Dogs, but an actual dog photographer, this is part of an exhibit that was in the city also back in 2017 called Paparazzi dogs that I thought sort of fitted in with this post, well with the first shot, I prepared part of this before heading tot he Mall and did take a few photos there, which don't really have much in common with the first couple of shots

Some shots in and around the mall this evening

Starting with this shot of the Elf Taxi next door to the Santa setup and the big Christmas tree in the mall, I guess this does tie in very loosely to the first shots as its a NYC taxi

As we were leaving the Mall a little while ago it was already fairly dark, and I remembered reading that they claimed the new iPhone was good at night shots so I decided to try it out,

hello there. would be nice to have a DSLR shots to compare.
the pic from iphone doesnt look bad indeed -- but it dont look artsy and great, as well :P

very cool and happy part about the magazine cover. so nice!!

Maybe I will do a Seiden by side comparison of phone and camera shots mind you it would not be a fair comparison since I would use a tripod with the phone

I think the phone I would only use for a quick snap to share quickly for someone my actual photos will always be with a camera

sure thing, i didnt get you that way, dont consider that!

I know, Although I take shots for my evening actifit posts as I dont need to edit them, I pretty much always have my camera with me for my main photo taking

Cheers and have a good day

same to you! !BEER

ps. sadly I had a nice evening pics for a Wednesday walk, but had no time to shape them into a post.. mea maxima culpa!

NO worries I have to admit MY shots for my Wednesday walk are never from that day but often from one earlier int he week, as I post mine early :)

Congrats @tattoodjay!!! You must be so proud, more of your wonderful photographs chosen for contract, wow!

Another great invention! :) Cheers!

Thanks it was a nice boost to morale today when I got contacted and then worked it out :)
I know many could make a great story about that photo but storytelling has never been my forte LOL

How amazing! My post for Wednesdaywalk for today was inside a mall too!

I saw that and such an interesting mall you shared

Great stepping🏃 💪and sounds like a wonderful Wednesday 😊. The pictures of the cars from the mall are looking fantastic 👌. Some of the guards at the local mall here have noticed my actifitting and they are ok with it. The mall is a lifesaver on the rainy ☔ days here.
Congratulations 👏 on the interest in your picture. I think I have seen that bull picture before, not sure where though😹.
Wishing you an amazing Thursday ahead 🎉. Keep stepping and enjoy your activities 👍 😀

People walking around the malls in winter are quite common and here the security guards dont seem to mind, its greta for my wife as she hates walking when its cold outdoors, I refer outdoors myself unless its raining but it gets the steps in

Thanks its such a coo feeling when a magazine wants to use your photo I must say

You t have a terrific Thursday

Lovely, thanks for sharing!

And thanks for your visit ;)

How incredibly cool! Cover of a magazine out of the blue? And actually getting paid for your work, with credit. WooooHooooo.

Sam and I walk most every day. It's pretty cool here-around 55f at walk time. I'm probably done wearing short pants on my walk for a while....

I only make laps around the supermarket when I don't get my shopping list in order and have to go back again and again!

Yeah it is such a cool experience and I am looking forward to when they send me a copy even if in a language I cant read LOL

Today it’s warming up we will hit 50 as a high today, and for me its well past shorts weather LOL

Dang, that is awesome! Congrats! That has to be an awesome feeling! You will have to share a picture of the cover if they send you one!

Thanks and yes it is, and for sure I will no doubt share a shot of the magazine they will send me a copy :)

Lovely shots JJ and I sincerely hope that you will get some payment from the magazine crowd?
I was also called out of the blue once and asked by a wildlife mag if they could use one of my photos and I agreed. All for free as I was stupid and didn't negotiate any terms.
Blessings!

Thanks and Yes I had a figure in mind after doing some research that I would have accepted, but I played it coy to see what they would offer and it was better than I expected so I am very happy :)

Put it this way when it come sin I will be looking at a new lens or a small drone LOL

I have done the same giving the away n the past but now i am not so generous LOL

The thing is this JJ, if they make money from your efforts, then surely you can share in it. If it's free or for a charity then it's different, but in the commercial world people must pay their way.
Good that you played it coy, now you know how to do it in future and let's hope there will be lots more.
Blessings!

Yes thats how I feel these days I don't mind and often do give Charities and local events for charity my photos to use as they wish to help promote the event, but when its a paid publication then I have no qualms about asking for a fair price :)

And it would be nice if there was more I for sure would not complain LOL

Well you just keep on doing what you are doing, always with a mag shot in the back of your mind, and I sure that more will come JJ.
Maybe more shots that are business orientated?
Blessings!

Time will tell, I am thinking about what shots may be more likely to be liked for covers or advertising and such, next year I plan to look more into stock photography and making the time to get into that, Maybe a waste of time or maybe it could bring in some sales, time will tell :)

Great idea and I think that you have something here that could become a niche market JJ. Especially if you start to get commissions from the big business advertising departments.
You should also consider doing shots for the annual reports of the big boys.
I have a friend that made millions doing the actual annual reports and he was always moaning about the photos.
Send the annual report departments some samples of your photos.
Blessings!

Thanks thats such a good idea, and something I will definitely look into in the new year

Congratulations on the magazine cover shot.

Thanks :)
