I brought my 30d about a month after I joined here and asked the compulsary - What digital camera should I buy question! 
Odd and not timed, I get too a landmark post as well, all a bit weird.
Just worth mentioning this site and how helpful people on it can be, no names but you all know who you are. A big thanks for the critique which has provided me with a great way to improve. Ask, ask and ask some more.
Just thought I would post a few 30d shots over the 2 years. No matter what anybody said the 30d is a great camera, it took a right soaking at a meet in Cardiff, dried out and is still working to this day. A new body beckons but it will have to go some way to replace what I love!
The lens bug bit pretty quick and it's mazing how quickly you move from a 17-85, which I loved!!!! ... to a range of L glass, filters, tripods, bags, flashes and heaven knows what else.
Anyhow enough of my waffles, here's a few shots over the 2 years .... starting with the oldest first
Cardiff Cefn On Park - Still one of my favourite shots
My first entry into a mag comp and came 3rd with this one ...
A very memorable trip to Scotland (posted a few times before)
Honeymoon last year (Ngorogoro Crater)
Leaping Salmon in the Taff
The Lakes
Anyhow - You get the ''picture'' if you want to have a further looksee, http://http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyuk/
I'll end by quoting Mr Twain, why, because, it a bloody great quote
''.....Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover....''
Cheers,
Neil
