Our local rag had a report from Prince William's wedding as a flashback. They wouldn't have paid for the image they used but you never know, things happen in, or to, royal marriages, so I understand.

You can always say you're too busy if the story doesn't sound it's worth the effort, and on the odd occasion it might pay dividends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just returned from one story I found out about fifteen minutes before I got there thanks to a tweet from the local TV station. Whilst out I popped around to a nearby toko to buy some agar-agar I wanted for another photo idea... and bumped into another news story in front of the shop. I sometimes break stories before the local media; Twitter is a good source of breaking news, i.e "why is the police helicopter hovering over my house" . I have also trained my wife and children to let me know if they see a news story. My son recently spotted an illegal traveller encampment being set up and gave me a ring...... The local paper has only one contract photographer and a lot of local stories do not get any cover - for example at the local elections there was no local coverage of the count. A pity, a good local newspaper is essential for asking questions of those in poower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I haven't seen the "found images" thread for May being full of Royal Wedding shots. I hear that the atmosphere was fun in Windsor however from the friends of mine who were there (non-photographers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
