Looking good Irfan fab reflections in some of those shots
D'you know what? ...DSLR will give amazing results...my first photos ever done of the zed (they're on my Flickr account) were taken with one.
But the pics Gary takes with our ancient 1.8mp Olympus sometimes turn out just as good...I think you just need to know about light and settings- we've got loads of old copies of Amateur Photographer if you want them
