Howdya feel? :lol:

Congratulations Peter. As one of the the elder statesmen of this forum (and I mean that in the most respectful way) you have helped a countless number of members improve their photography, learn more about their gear, have a chuckle along the way and realise that Newcastle is (almost) the centre of the universe (behind Brisbane :wink: )

I look forward to many more of your observations, critiques and witicisms and thank you for your contributions here.

:lol:

Peter - what can one say about a man who produces fisheye shots, but looks normal. Has more hair than a mammal deserves and can lock down a thread faster than a fly fart - a treasure - well done :)

Thank you all for your kind comments. Post counts in a sense are a meaningless thing. The real thing to measure here is the nature of the people and the quality of their advice and assistance. Were it not for others here I wouldn't have developed and grown my skill base to its current level (and, yes, I still have an awful long road in front of me before I'm famous :wink: ).

So thanks to each and every one of you for what you have given me along the way.

Dinner cancelled (friend & wife panicking because labour contractions have started ) so I could have driven to Sydney for Vesak day tonight instead of leaving home tomorrow at 6 am :cry:

Bernie - A D2X is just too heavy for me hence my unsated D200 lust.

On Ya Stubbsy,

Well done, I can remember when Birddog was 6000 years old, how time flies.
This doesn't mean you are half the man as he, just half as much photo gear. :lol:

Keep on Keeping on.

I'm still here, just a faint spirit just watching from afar.
