good pics mate, no offense to your camera but it just shows a good eye and a little skill is more important than the latest wizz bang pop digital SLR.

nice pics. looks like a good time.

Hammoc

Wow....must learn to use my camera properly. You've certainly mastered how to get quality pics from yours.

Out of interest were you using a tripod - particularly for the night time shots?

ddb85

i didn't take a tripod - for the night time shots, a good ole steps wall nearby was used on a self timer lol
