If you go to featurepics and do a blank search you will see a rather boring picture of a sign indicating a Police station as the first image.

Its been stuck there for most of the day, I have been wondrring why it has been the first image but apparently from an e-mail I just received its their 50,000 image and its mine

.

So just goes to show some sites don't massage their landmark images apparently i get a wireless remote control which sounds pretty cool. I am curious if it wil actually arrive supposedly they have to send it from Germany.

Not my best photo but it does define my current micro stock uploads lots of signs all the good stuff from that day is going to Alamy.

Just saw IRCrockett is their featured photographer at the moment.

And they have started using moneybookers

I still can't believe FT didn't send out a gift to the submitter of their 1,000,000 image. DT gave out a 1 GB memory card for their last landmark image.

Its just a pity it wasn't a nice photo I would be surprized if anybody bought it.

Anyway I will keep you posted whether it arrives and if it is of any use they are selling them for $100 +P&P

Aww man, I always miss my moment of glory. Would never have known if you didn't mention it. Nice on your new wireless remote though. Hopefully you have a camera that can get some use out of.

The sweet irony decided to get up early 4.30am to get some photos of the sunrise from the highest point (not very good only a sliver of sky between horizon and extensive clouds) so went to get some photos of a deserted city centre and got stopped by the police for obviously looking suspicious.

I explained I was a photographer waving my camera and talking about light catching the tops of the multistorey flats. They took my details I wonder if they googled me (as they won't have anything in their computer) would they find my photo at Featurepics regarding the police.

Though I asked FP to please when I got up to change the two other photos and they have done so
