Something like that Janer. Just a bit of harmless fun.

Think AR has it covered.

ThOnda

And best spending forum? Like how much did we spend outside this borders on our gear?
I bet we could have made at least one shop keeper quite happy here

smelltheglove

Oh that sounds like a great idea, will there be real prizes or just massaging the egos of the already egotistical????;):D

AnimalRights

Best alternative wedding captured on film.

smelltheglove

Hmmmm how will we do it, nominations????

kensutz

We'll finalise the list and then everyone just reply. Leave it open for a week or 2 and then compile the results. That's if we're allowed do it.

Dodgykeeper

How would you even begin to get a list of nominations, maybe a category of best newcomer would be good!

challengemaster

I think there's a toss up between yourself and Janer for 'most money spent on gear', eh Ken?

As for Janer picking best mod.. Lol. Calina straight out of the runnings!

kensutz

I'd blow him out of the water

Jesus sell us 1!!!!!

Only 1. There's a lot of other bits and pieces like business registration etc. This year plans for 400mm f/2.8 and whatever else I look at.

AnimalRights

I pushed ya hard but now I shall slow down,would love a 300 2.8 but can't afford so may settle for 100-400L is

kensutz

It pays to be nice, Fajitas would have been a little competition but he got best portrait.... and he isnt a mod any more:p

Fajitas, ancatdubh just kicked your ass...:D

Fajitas!

Pfffft.

You're all banned.

Except Animal Rights.

I don't really get it. There's a small community on the photography forum and among them are a few that post constantly. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which posters will be among the nominees and eventual winners. What's the point? Other than trumpet blowing that is.

Essentially, yes.

I've never not wanted to have my trumpet blown. It's only natural.

My awards include people who have not posted here or who have dropped in once every blue moon.
It's a bit of fun anyways, lighten up!
