Thanks for the comment Jewel and it is good that you have chosen to pop back. The admin team are just the bodies that set things up and try to keep them running smoothly, we don't regard ourselves as any different to anyone else here. We are all interested in photography and are at different levels of expertise ourselves. The forums friendliness comes from the members good will and the intentions of trying to help everyone get the most from their hobby.

The gathering isn't so important anymore so here I am, here to stay, he he.
Cheers, jewel

I can appreciate those feelings but I look at the posts and the photos not who has posted them. I obviously try to aim my comments/critique and advice at what I perceive the poster’s skill level is, but make not distinctions about who I try to help. If I have a thought that I feel may be beneficial I will reply. I suppose there could be some other (male) members here that feel a little left out due to the equipment they use or the subject that they may prefer to shoot not being as popular as the majority, however everyone is welcome here and if you don't post, you wont get feedback, without feedback you will only have your own experiences and thoughts from which you try to learn. Many heads make easy thinking. Opinions may differ but they are all valid and may add weight to your own initial thoughts.
Please don't feel isolated, post away and expect honest, helpful replies, ment with the best intentions.
