Hi There
Well as those of you who follow my posts on OPF know, most of my subjects are Birds in Flight taken at the Hawk Conservancy in Hampshire in the UK.
I have only been shooting birds since April of last year, but as i have got better equipment my success rate has gone up, and a big help and source of inspiration has been all the comments and advice I have received here on OPF.
The Hawk Conservancy held a Photographic Competition last year and you could enter 2 pictures in each of the categories each month. It ran for the whole of 2007 and the results were announced yesterday.
I am happy to report that I won 3 of the sections and came 2nd in the others, and had the vote for best overall picture. I was "somewhat pleased" and a little amazed to put it midly.
So I wanted to say a big thank you to all at OPF for the help support and encouragement you have given me last year, I will list some names and I am bound to forget someone, but i am really grateful to everyone at this wonderful resource, but especially
Asher, Nicolas, Mike, Don, Bart Van, John Nevil, Ray, Cem, Janet , Rachel, and others too numerous to mention.
Best Wishes
John Harper
