If you aren't afraid to edit the shot list a bit... this would be a standout collection of, say, 30 shots. Just my HO. I certainly understand your interest to show them all.

Thank you Jim, very much appreciated indeed. I would really like to get more input from you if you get chance. Any tips or suggestions that you feel will elevate my efforts would be very much appreciated always. I am happy to recieve critisism. I am just having a good time with my camera (and post ed. software).

Thanks again
Paul.

Can I ask what type of camera are you using?

Rob
Thanks Rob, it's a D200.

In fact, thank you everyone!! I truly appreciated all feedback. When I get chance I just enjoy getting out there with my camera and I see what catches my eye.

Thanks again.
Paul

Truly incredible.

I watched every picture. Not saw, not viewed, but watched.

They are so deep!

Thanx so much for sharing those artworks with us!

p.s. if you go to the April race, would like to invite you to the 'mater meeting!
Thanks for the invite Paul! For sure if I can get out there it would be great to meet you guys. We'll have to see what the bank tells me closer to the time, I just got layed off from my job, so I need to get working again so I can save some cash.

Thanks for your compliments, it's great to hear.

Cheers
Paul.

Paul:

As an extremly amature SHUTTERBUG myself, I was in AWE by your photo ablum....I loved not only the angle's, and sharpness of many of your shots, but the people you took pictures of, and how you told a story in a still frame!!

Of all the pics you took, the best one I saw, that really brought a tear to my eye, was the pic of Jack Beckman at the Drivers intro, and your caption.."ONE OF LIFE'S HERO'S!"

I have never in my life....seen any single photo and caption that described the image better!

OUTSTANDING WORK....PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGES..I HAVE A HUGE FAVOR TO ASK!

Thank you for sharing this photo album. I wish you the best of luck in finding a new job! By the way...Were always looking for good people at Fed Ex Express! If you take as much passion in your job as you do in your photography....I'd love to have you join our TEAM!

Great Job!

Tim Charlet aka TIMMAH!

And that says it all Paul. Without an 'eye', the best equipment in the world probably won't make a great picture.

All I can say is.... you've got the eye! Great photos. Love the "portraits"
of some of the people.

Thanks for sharing your fantastic photos. Good way to start off my morning.

Well, as others have said Paul... WOW.

Very nice shots there. I loved the ones of the cars right at the hit where you could still see the christmas tree. Good stuff.
