Accepted September 20th in 2004... Quite some time ago. And it felt great to read the notification email. I don't have that email anymore as I changed email providers after 2004.
Accepted March 24, 2004. Shot with a very simple Kodak point and shoot digital camera and no post-processing done if I recall correctly. I've come a long way since then ^^

Just 9 days before Kas, 15th March, 2004.
I think it has been re-uploaded three times as my scanning and editing has improved, and I still like the shot

Number 11617, accepted in July 1998. Photo shows no upload date, neither were there any view counters at the time of uploading. Johan hadn't programmed it yet and he was the only (not-so-picky) screener.
Rescanned/reuploaded a few years ago.
I had been trying to get photos accepted for about 6 months before that shot made it in. As soon as I saw on the news that a C-5 had landed at the airport, I knew that the circumstances of the shot, being the first C-5 to visit in over 10 years, would give it a fighting chance of getting accepted. I was actually on vacation in California driving up highway 1 when I got the acceptance message... and one day later I was taking screenshots on my iPhone of it on the front page of Airliners.net while sitting on my flight home. Certainly not my favorite shot, but I love the whole story behind it.
Went to the airport to catch this civvy Gazelle,when i heard the Army pilot call on the radio.Crossed my legs (as fingers were busy!) hoping he'd appear in the background so i could get both together - which he duly did
This was my first, after I submitted something terrible with an Olympus P&S and had it rejected not long before. However I had just received the 50D I use today and after what was I believe either a level or a color rejection I got this lovely Kalitta into the database. I believe N712CK is now stored, though.
My surprise was even greater, when my second photo accepted into the database was the top of the day in the home page. That was a big encouragement to go ahead.
