Graham (Glsammy), has given us all over 2000 images to admire. I think that's a remarkable achievement and deserves thanks from us all.
His shots are always a relection of his depth of his commitment to wildlife and I'm certainly looking forward to the next 2000!
Well done and thanks!! 
Jules

Trust Jules to notice that!!
I hadn't noticed I'd gone over the 2,000 mark. One day I might torture myself and look back to the first pages!
Thank you for your comments. I'm pleased some of you seem to enjoy my images, that's what makes it worthwhile for me to upload them.
If nobody bothered to look, I wouldn't bother to upload. |

I echo what others on this thread have said about Graham's photos. I have said it before and will say it again it was viewing Graham's photos when I first joined WAB almost two years ago that gave me the inspiration to become a better photographer.
Graham not only inspired me but taught me a great deal as well about camera settings and much more besides. Today I count Graham as a great photographic buddy who I meet up with whenever the opportunity arises, so thanks for that Graham as well as 2000 images a great contribution indeed.
See you next week weather permitting

Thanks again to all of you for your kind comments.
If anyone is ever contemplating coming to my territory, that's Nottingham/Derby/Leicestershire, I'm always willing to meet and show off my local sites. Then you'll see how I cheat when I get my shots! |

I've always been mightily impressed by your images Graham - there's some serious quality as well as quantity in your gallery! And like several others have mentioned above, I too find your work a real inspiration and an encouragement to try harder with my own images. Keep it up!
Dave P.
P.s. And keep posting too - I can't wait to see what your title changes to after 10,000 posts!
