Thank you Seth im quite happy with the shots. I have an old canon 350D digital SLR and I finally asked a client camera friend of mine why my shots came out rubbish and he gave me some tips. I was actually quite lucky. :o Oh, I see. If you know your way around an SLR and can get the exposure right the pictures will turn out better than any ordinary point and shoot camera. The pictures you previously posted looked like they were taken from a cell phone.:D Glad to know you can find your way around the camera now.:)
