Picture in Tuesdays Mercury

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hi all,m just thought i'd blow my own trumpet a bit by saying I got a full page picture printed in the Mercury yesterday (20th).
It was a shot from a trip about 4 years ago of New Harbour.

[Drifting]

man that is one gorgeous photo! Congrats!!!!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Thanks Drifting!
You know I have considered going back to that old Lumix 6.0mp camera, it has such nice colour.
Pretty hard not to take a nice photo of the beaches down there though!

Good to see photographs from users of this site appearing around the place. Must submi another one to the Examiner. So far two out of three made it.

Cheers Brett

[Phil]

And I see now Brett that any photo that is printed in the Examiner you win a - quote - "voucher for a mini poster of your photograph from Stallards Camera House"

Cool.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Bah! And i wasted my time on the Mockery....
I didnt even know my picture was printed until a friend told me last night.

[Phil]

Love the photo of New Harbour. Pity about the top you've got on in the first pic though

[ILUVSWTAS]

Thanks Phil!
Haha yeh yeh, What can I say, 08 Premiers, 8 out of 9 wins, Buddy and Roughie up front, Hodge Sewell Rioli Mitchell and Lewis midfield... Being a Hawks supporter is pretty sweet!!

[Mickeymoo]

Nice work, a great photo! Typical Mercury by the sounds of it at least they remembered to put a credit on it!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Thanks Micheal!
Yes I guess I should be pleased they added and spelt my name correctly.

Is Hallam really so hard?? We get Hallem, Halem, Hallum... My poor wife (Phoebe) now has to spell out both names P, H, O, E...........

**loud applause**

Not for the photo, but for your exquisite taste in AwFuL teams.

ps: You'd be amazed how many people manage to misspell 'Evans' . . . and how many ways they do so. I deliberately made my first name difficult to spell as revenge . . .

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hahaha :p
One day I'll take a photo that impresses you "guru's"

[north-north-west]

*grudging*
The photo's passable.
I've seen worse.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hehehe thankyou (he says in a small mousey voice)

Here's the actual original.

Besides the Hawks need all the support they can get!

[Liamy77]

nice photo too BTW...
I miss the Tassie bush, my Good SLR kit and my polariser filter etc when i see the shots you folk post!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Har har har, the Hawks have a pretty good membership currently, second only to Colliwobbles.

I wish I had a good camera, this was taken on a very cheap, Panasonic Lumix 6.0mp which is now 10 years old.

[Liamy77]

I would give you "S*%t about it but as a crow-eater i cant really say too much considering how we went this season

[Phil]

Har har har, the Hawks have a pretty good membership currently, second only to Colliwobbles.

Do you come to any Hawks games that we host up at this end of the state Mark? I didn't get to the Lions match but was able to see the games against the Kangaroos and the Crows.

ps GO BLUES!! (he says unconvincingly after the form we've showed in the past month or so)

[ILUVSWTAS]

I used to go to every game in the first couple of years Phil, then they started getting flogged every time and it was too depressing. Last couple of years I have been quite slack and not been up. I did try to go last year but the game had sold out when I got around to trying to get a ticket.

Now my boy is a bit older and kind of interested in the football I must get my A into G and get up there!!

I cant believe after 2 big losses Ratten's name has been mentioned along side those coaches likely to be axed!! (Knights, Voss and Worsfold) They will bounce back im sure.

[flyfisher]

That sure is a great photo Mark, well done on the publication too.

Thankyou very much FF

[flyfisher]

Thanks Phil!

Quick tip for tonight then Mark.(from a CATS man )(not feral)
ff

[ILUVSWTAS]

Haha Grrr...
If it was anywhere but the poor excuse for a field that is Ethiad, i'd be confident. Im still thinking we should win, just not as easily as if it was at the G.

And Cats to win by as much as we flogged the Lions by last week.....

[flyfisher]

Unlucky Hawks

[ILUVSWTAS]

Very. Poor umpiring throughout the game (not JUST for the hawks) Poor rule at the end of the game denied a 13pt lead under 2 mins to go. Poor defending on the goalline by us with 15seconds to go. Played on a Poor excuse for a football ground. Top game still, ah well 5th spot we gotta chase now, hope for a home final against either Sydney, Nth, or Adelaide! (Carlton = GONE)

[Phil]

hope for a home final against either Sydney, Nth, or Adelaide! (Carlton = GONE)

So are Carlton still gone Mark? .......and Adelaide in after the weekend's results?

Very disappointed by the Hawks finish to the game on Friday night; I picked them by 12 in the tipping here at work and thought I'd got it when Cyril put through that last goal only to see it disallowed and the game turn on it's head!!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Wasnt the hawks fault, stupid interchange rule!!
Yeh not sure bout Carlton now, specially with Sydney getting thumped! Next few weeks will be interesting!!

[Ent]

Nothing like blaming the rules to pick the one eyed supporters

Cheers Brett

[tasadam]

Hehehe thankyou (he says in a small mousey voice)

Here's the actual original.

A bluer day, a lower tide, and a bit more zoom than my effort (from the trip report gallery)

As I said in the PM, top stuff being published like that.
