That's just brilliant chaps. Well done.

[Alpha_7]

Well done to all three of you!
(I like the trophy idea.. it's pretty neat...) but where were the winning photos ?

[stubbsy]

Well done gentlemen. I take it the award was for your body of work during the year, but like Craig would be interested in knowing what pics led to this outcome (and I notice the first comp was for a duck photo )

[Oneputt]

Guys there was a comp finishing every week and the winners got to choose the next subject. The voters were the general O/L forum membership. A very informal comp. run very well by Shane Gerrish.

Thanks Folks. It is certainly a fun comp and as I said on the O/L forum Shane has done a great job to keep it all together.

I think if OP hadn't gone out and gotten that new fangled D2X and had to re-learn a lot of stuff that had become 2nd nature on the D70 it would have been a lot closer at the end.

Of course if Shane spent less time buying lenses than actually using them, well who knows what would of happened

Seriously though, it was through the Overlander forum and the Photography section that my long time love of photography was rekindled. Started with a P&S S602Z Fuji but when I saw the stuff that Oneputt, Kevin (Mitedo), GreenGumbi (C@tt) and others were putting up from their Nikon D70s, well I just had to have one.

Then Oneputt says to me "Go and have a look at http://www.D70users.net" and here we are.

Another great bunch of like minded folk and an even greater opportunity to contract RSI .

Now I'm seriously thinking about a D200

It's all good fun.
