Thank you Scott Linstead!

I have greatly enjoyed my participation of this forum. It has been an immeasurable help in the learning process that I am engaged in. A number of posters have been very helpful.

Scott Linstead went way beyond the call in extending a helping hand. Seeing the Kingfisher photos I was posting, he was not only supportive, but also went out of his way to email me privately with a number of tips and methods that he had employed in successful Kingfisher captures.

I made exponential progress in a matter of days, primarily in my approach in the field, but also in processing. It may have taken years of trial an error to achieve the same results.

Thank you Scott for being so generous with your time and knowledge.

Peter, thanks for posting this! It goes to show that these forums are best utilized when members actively communicate among themselves to share tips and advice.

Here's to Scott for showing how it's done!

Thanks for the kind words, Peter! It's very satisfying to be able to contribute something that has such a direct and immediate impact on someone's creative process. What you said is true, the quality of kingfisher images you produce has indeed shot up exponentially; from beginner to publishable in a matter of weeks! Keep us on the edge of our seats waiting for that next behavioural image! Kudos to NPN to retaining the kind of intimacy and communication among members that is conducive to positive re-enforcement.
