I'm published again!

Still not an aviation subject, but I have another picture in print. Island Publications, a division of Newsday, produces the Long Island Travel Guide, which is used by the NYS and the LI Convention and Visitors Bureau as their offical guide to LI. Since it's a Newsday product, and I work here, I don't get paid, but I do get a photo credit.

My holiday picture of the Big Duck is in the 2007 edition, which we just received from the printer on Friday:

Also, I was asked to shoot some photos of a plastic model tank built by one of the guys in my model club - the Long Island Scale Model Society. He wrote an article for the IPMS/USA Journal, the publication of the national model society, but doesn't have a camera that will give him good enough photos for publication, so I got the call.

I won't get paid for this one either, as the IPMS is an all-volunteer group, and the materials in the Journal are all submitted by the members. It was a good opportunity to try some new techniques, playing with the tripod, different lenses and lighting.

BTW, I run my club website at http://longislandscalemodel.tripod.com

Very cool! Stinks that you aren't being paid.

Good job Moose. When we start getting paid that's when it doesn't become our pasion and hobby. Well at least that's what I tell myself :D

That model tank is AMAZING!!!!! Congrats on being published again Moose.

Good job, Moose. What kind of lens did you use for the tank?
