The photography on this site is a joy to behold. So many id books have paintings to illustrate, many times being in watercolours that fail to show the opacity and depth of colour of the species being sought. WAB is so much easier to use in this respect.

Many thanks to those whose images have helped increase my knowledge of both species and techniques to capture them.

And a big BIG cheer to Stu and his little elves for the work they do in keeping WAB up to date, and the members that make it a joy to be involved with!

I won't even attempt to write my thoughts down regards the WAB site. I think you have done that beautifully Carl, and I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments, and would like to add my thanks also. A lot of people give up their valuable time to keep this site as it is. Well done and thanks to all of you, those we know about and those we don't. My own personal 'interest' in wildlife, has now become a serious pastime, if I can't be out there taking piccies and enjoying the great outdoors, I'm quite happy trolling through the galleries and forums. Thanks to all involved with WAB. and thanks Carl for this thread, well done. Can we have an applaud smilie

Actually Geoff, you've reminded me of another aspect - that of the comments that encourage those of us that take photos - you being one of the most regular and uplifting!

Thats very kind of you to say so Carl, but I really do enjoy looking through the gallaries, and will only say what I feel about a certain pic that appeals to me. When I first joined WAB and posted my first pic, I was absolutley thrilled that someone took the time to look at my pics let alone REPLY to them, I still am. There are a great number of guys and gals out there doing the same daily, CB and Beryl to name but two who constantly make regular comments. It's what WAB is all about. For me anyway. All buddies with a lot in common.
