MAY MADNESS : Best Non Critique Photography Thread : Winner

[ricktas]

Another announcement for May Madness

There were some truly great photography related discussions this month and it took the mods and I some time to cull them down. When we got to a choice of 2, we had to do a quick poll to decide which thread to give the prize to.

So I can now announce that the winner of the Best non-critique photography thread for May Madness was PH005 for starting this thread, which proved to be a lively discussion, and contained some wonderful replies and valuable information.

PH005 (Paul) wins a $100.00 voucher to Ausphotography Site Advertiser:

The 100-400 is a really soft lens - It was a fun thread!

Congratulations Paul.

[salnel]

That was a great thread..I learned a lot (and I will be buying the soft lens).

[PH005]

This is a very pleasant surprise. I would like to thank all the wonderful folk who contributed to my thread , and helped me make up my mind. And in turn made it an enjoyable read along the way.

Thanks All. Paul.

It was a fun thread. Poor old Paul got caught up in a "run away" thread that Mongo is certain he never intended to go quite so far and so off course. However, it was fun and even informative - if not about the camera gear, then, certainly about some of the members' personalities.

congrats Paul
regards from
Mongo.

Great stuff, Paul! You certainly stirred up some controversy with your "sharp" question. I don't think there were any "soft" answers in that thread, either! Well done!

Congratultions! I didn't even look at that thread, not being a birder I didn't feel I'd have much to contribute, as it's fairly specialised area.

Have a quick look just for some of the wonderful Bird shots that were posted.

Same as Odille, Never saw it , But I did just have a look at the great bird shots, Congrats Paul, Well done mate

[CherylB]

I really loved how everyone was trying to "outdo" the others with all their "soft" bird shots! I think I might have to add one of these lenses to my wish list!

Congrats Paul on starting a great discussion!

[PH005]

If anyone is interested, I have ordered my prize. I went for a Black Rapid RS7 strap and some rechargeable batteries, ( always handy ). A Huge thank you to Jeff at Protog, whom I spoke to on the phone. Jeff even wavered the extra cost for freight. How nice is that ? Thanks again to everyone involved. Paul.
