This is my 500th Posting on Trek Lens.

See how I have improved since I joined TL !!!!!

And I looked around for the best looking photo I could find!! Just my sense of humour!!


I have done a self portrait for you all:)))) This is something I really don't like doing but I thought it was so good(!!), so sharp, so clear, well composed, good colours, in fact - no faults at all - I wish!!


It is taken showing my reflection in water running over stainless steel into a pool. (Hence the scratches!!)

Here is my First photo on Trek Lens. Molly was 5 and little Hannah was just 2 years old. You would have seen other photos of my 2 little granddaughters since then - and how they have grown. . .

I have kept all my photos up on the site and it is good to look back and see how far I have come.

I have so many on the Trek sites to thank for my photography improvement. And I do thank you all. Definitely Adam and also Rob Brown who runs Trek Nature - thanks guys!!

Kia ora to you all and I do hope you like this pic of me!!!

Janice

Congratulations on no 500 and what a way to do it. Good reflection from the metal and I like the sharp lines of light on the metal. Almost as if you look through ice to the world outside.

Congratulations on your 500th photo. This is a very good self portrait, and a most unusual venue to take it. I like it a lot. Maybe on your next self portrait, you will show us your face which would be nice. Well done Janice, and keep up the good work on both sites.

congratulations on 500th
(Don't like this pic much)
Thanks for shareing all your pics hope many more to come

Hello Janice !

Congratulations for this great achievement ! You celebrate certainly in a funny and unexpected way. In my humble opinion, your first shot was better ( LOL !) I do not see much improvement here ( He He He ) . Seriously, I know you came a long way , and you have learned a lot. The beauty about your experience , is you have made up great friends at home along those 500 posts, and you enjoy now your passion weekly with them to share with us your images.

Thanks for your great contribution, and friendship to so many members.

Since , you do not care about the smilies, you won't be offended , if I tell you I am out of them for today. I will save it for a higher standard shot (^_*) .

Keep on the good work!
Robert

Hello Janice,
Heartiest congratulation!
best regards

Hello Janice,
Congratulation for this 500th photo on TL and thanks for all the great photo and making me discover parts of New-Zealand.
This is a nice self portrait with nice lighting on you. I think you look a little bit scratchy you should probably take a rest but not more then one day we will be missing your photos.
Kia Ora.

Wow

Hi Janice,
Congratulations on your 500th photo uploaded! Very interesting idea for a self portrait! Keep up the great work. Cheers, Todd

Congratulations Janice. My comments are a trifle belated but the household is in disruption mode again. No shower, no toilet. This style self portrait is about all people will see of me. Well composed and regardless of the stainless steel surface a clear reflection. Well done and TFS,
David

Five Hundred! Wow that's a real milestone Janice.
Humor is a good thing, it sure makes the day a bit easier when we can laugh at ourselves. Here's to 500 more fun, creative, exploratory, and informative images.
I'll have a glass of wine for you tonight : )
