Taken last weekend with a 5D and 100-400L

This improvement over a bare 10 months is largely down to the contribution, encouragement and advice I recieved on POTN in that time period.

I very much doubt that I'd improve so much being anyplace else.

Or spent as much money!!

[Maureen Souza]

We are more than happy to help you spend your $$$$, Pete. Glad to see you've come so far!

[Claire]

Yaaay! :)

[cylentka]

You're my role model, Pete. :D

Can't wait to see what you are posting NEXT year! Woooooo!

[Pete]

Thanks Wanda, but I'm really nothing in relation to what others here have posted.

For the next year, I was planning on breaking into the G&N section, but on further reflection, I don't think even a full frame camera is wide enough for my rather full frame..

Have you tried the 100-400L on the track yet? I bet you'll see some spectacular result there!

Still waiting to get a chance at that one, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm in dire need of both time and money to go to such events.

[madferrit]

Don't thank us.. thank your bank manager :)

[Woolburr]

We will gladly spend anyone's money...just wait until you get your house...the interior decorating staff will try their best to bankrupt you!

[Mortgage101]

I agree with the money bit haha


Ok yah the advice is pretty priceless as well but don't let them know I said that.

[cgratti]

No problem for the help man... We'll send you the bill...

Beautiful shot :D What a great improvement!

[SuzyView]

Yes, beautiful shot. It's amazing how much gear I've collected and how different I shoot now since joining. I don't know if I'm any better, but really going out there and trying.
