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 :roll: )

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. :D

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. :roll:

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

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 :lol: .

Now I'm seriously thinking about a D200 :lol:

It's all good fun.
