Default Thank you all
I didn't know where to put this so I figured here was as good a place as any - it is general after all.

I stumbled upon this site about 2 months ago when I was researching to buy my new camera and what a find!! This is the best forum I have found and I did a heap of searching.
I have been an avid point and shoot picture taker for years and decided it was time to do an upgrade so (maybe foolishly) I went out and upgraded - everything...... my camera, my computer (PC to mac) and installed photoshop. I definitely bit off a whole lot more than I could chew.
But thanks to this site I am now feeling a bit more confident about my new "toys".
I have learnt so much that my brain feels ready to explode some days but I am loving it.
To the moderators who devote so much time and energy into this wonderful creation and the other users who so generously offer their wisdom I would just like to say a really big thank you.
Each day I learn something new and try out ideas that seem beyond my capabilities, only to find that sometimes I can pull it off. Your hard work and inspiring photographs (and great sense of fun) make my learning so much more enjoyable.
Congratulations on such a great site, to all who contribute.
Thank you all.

(I realise this sounds a bit sucky but hey, I took a photo of my first drip crown today and I'm pretty excited about that . Couldn't have done it so soon without you guys.)

Right here
My first crown...
My first crown

My next (and favourite)...
My favourite crown

Already I look at these and say to myself "hmmm, should have put in a contrast somewhere to get some additional interest and what's that funny square in the refraction?" Always looking and learning.
