    So it's not a glossy magazine or advert on the side of a bus but I just got an email from RTE to say that my entry in the Summer 2007 photo competition was a runner up and will be shown before each weather forecast on RTE1/RTE2 all day next wednesday! :D

    I've still a lot to learn in this photography lark so it's nice when something like this comes along...

    Thanks everyone! It's nice to get a wee bit of recognition.

    The vignetting was in camera. It was shot using the 17-85mm lens at 17mm.

    Lovely shot ok. Where is it?
    I was also a runner up in that competition in 2004 and got a bit of crystal. No use to me but the mammy still has it displayed in her house. Also got a cert. and about 30 copies of the RTE 2005 calendar, with my shot in it.
    So yeah, it's nice. People take a bit of notice when you mention it too...
    Best of luck

    It's Beeves Rock Lighthouse. It's in the Shannon Estuary close to Aughinish. It's photographed from a boat which was taking us to the islands out there.

    Cool, I didn't think there were any perks other than the photo being broadcast.

    I'm not sure on this but as far as i know there's a big dinner with all the runner-ups and winners of the year. Not sure though.
