made it to 500 photos

[Longreach747]

quite an achievment for me to get 500 photo's up. I've been enjoying this hobby for near on 17 years and i would'nt change it for anything.

thanks to all for viewing and thanks to the screeners for allowing me to show my photos, i know they are pretty boring, but Perth is a boring place and no friend to the photographer in summer!

Congrats Longreach

Whilst I have been screening here, I have steadily seen your photos improve to a really excellent quality. Well done and looking forward to the next 500.............and more

Congratulations Longreach.

Indeed, why should 17 years ever be enough. Longevity adds good perspective in this hobby doesn't it ??

Its funny to remember there was a time many of us pursued this hobby in one form or another in total solitude and anonymity... before the INTERNET...

Congratulations mate it's good to see the local talent showing the world their skills.

That shot of VH-VOM taking off on oct 10th has got to be one of my all time favourite shots.

Keep those shots of the Virgin babies coming for me!
