It doesn't happen very often that one of my photos ends up in the newspaper but usually I know about it before it gets published. Not so this Sunday. One of my Instagram followers messaged me about my Bay of Fires (Tasmania) Star Trail photo in The Sunday Telegraph. First I was surprised because it came completely out of the blue. Then I got annoyed about them printing my image without permission or even notifying me but once I had a copy of the newspaper in my hand, I realised how they got their hands on my photo. I entered the David Malin Astro Awards a few weeks ago and although my photo didn't make it into the final, they must have liked it and sent it to the newspaper to promote the awards which will be announced in 2 weeks (roadtrip to Parks in regional NSW coming up).
