A great day for an aspiring photographer

Yesterday was a great day. First, the photo above received the first fave100-award on Zooomr for reaching 100 favs. While I really like the photo, I never imagined that it would be this popular. Next, Thomas Hawk published a link to the photo on FriendFeed. On FriendFeed it got quite a lot of likes and a number of people started to subscribe to my feed. Back on Zooomr, the photo gained over twenty new favs. The current tally is up to 126, amazing!

Early evening, I got a mail from Photrade telling me that someone had left a comment on one of my photos. Photrade is a photosharing site where you can sell your photos and you also get a part of the site’s ad revenue. Since a couple of people on Zooomr had uploaded photos to Photrade, I uploaded some as well last weekend. However, I didn’t check out the site and I don’t know much about it or their business plan. I logged in to check on the comment, and man was I surprised! Photrade had selected one of my photos as their “Featured photo of the week“. They had also made a very nice write-up about the photo. I didn’t see this one coming at all, a very nice surprise!

The only bad thing of the day was the announcement of the Nikon D700. Why must I be shooting Canon?
