I was very pleased that my photograph taken down at the Edgbaston cricket ground was chosen for the local morning newspaper Flickr page.

Photographs are submitted by posting to the Birmingham Post and Mail group and when I looked at the group discussions I came across one titled “The future of photography and the Birmingham Post”

A “professional” complains about us amateurs working for the paper for nothing I didn’t bother getting involved, all I will say is that we on Flickr take different photos compared to those required by a news service and the paper is only adding a feature of one page that hardly interferes with many pages of specialist output. I looked at the persons web page and didn’t notice anything that any Flickr photographer couldn’t better if they had a press pass.
