2006 has been a good year for learning this hobby. I did my first prime-focus DSLR shot back in February and thanks most to the power of the internet I've learnt so much since then.
Thanks for your many kind words of encouragement here through the year. There is very little doubt that without the internet and Google I couldn't have got far in this hobby. Thanks, dudes.
If you've got some time, the inclination and some spare bandwidth check out what I think were my best shots for the year.
