Thanks for your support guys

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

I'd like to thank everyone for their very kind comments and warm remarks!

Perhap it sound s a little corny but I want to assure the group that I in no way think that this award or any of the others I've recieved means that I am any better in any respect to anyone on this group! They were just images plain old digital bits and bites, that's all.

Imaging is fun and interactive and although I may enter some competitions I think I do it out of compulsion really (I'm a die hard competitor as you can see from the strongman photos my web site ) and not to bolster my own self esteem. I don't care (too much ) if I don't win it's simply the challenge.

I enjoy looking at all of the images posted on this group and although I don't reply all the time, I do look!

You guys are so different to other non Aussie groups you are all so genuine and supportive in a way that only an Aussie would understand I think?

Cheers again and I luvs yas all

Mike

Mike, it’s like playing sport. If you're surrounded by good players, your game will improve. As an astrophotography community, its pleasing to see the experienced lending a hand to the novice. We are all in it for the challenge and enjoyment, helping each other along the journey to success. Constructive criticism should always be welcome. Those who don't obtain feedback on their images have no baseline for improvement. This is especially useful for those with similar equipment and imaging goals. We all need something to aspire to, whether they are your images or someone else’s.

ditto to all that.. it's amazing seeing how the standard of astrophotography in Australia generally, has improved over the last 2 years..

A lot of that has had to do with the sharing of information on IceInSpace.. everyone willing to give and receive advice, information, suggestions and questions. We all learn from it and it's great to see.

Congrats again Mike.. what do you win?

Nice plug Mike.

But its true.

"Congrats again Mike.. what do you win?"

Nothing...just a few friends I think?
