Getting Published

As an academic, getting published is a requirement for the job.  No publications then no reputation.  You need publications for promotion, your next research grant and also your research impact story.  When you enter into a different field which is not your job then it is difficult to know what constitutes success.  Is it the number of likes on your Instagram post or whether lots of people comment on it?  I consider most of my photographs as works in progress so it is nice to get them published in a dedicated Photography magazine.  Whilst several have made the local press, I get a real buzz if they are in a national publication.  This year I have been fortunate to have pictures printed in Digital Photography (Issue 185 and 195).  The latest one is taken in Grand Central Birmingham and has a strong leading line with two people either side of the picture.  One is walking up whilst the upper is walking down.  The picture was taken with my Canon G7 Powershot which I no longer use having opted for a Sony RX100 for everyday use.  The picture published earlier in the year was taken on the main commuter bridge over the West Coast rail line and for this I used my Canon 5D and 24-70mm lens.
