Whoops, im so used to translating you in my head to Will and then back again to *that* to post that it happened accidentally and totally subconsciously too.

Thanks for the comments too

Much appreciated

Stunning pics, any chance of some copies that aren't shrunk via jpeg? Mainly for my own curiousity to see how much of a difference the shrinking makes to the pics

The last two really grab me I must say.

Did you learn the basics yourself or did you go to a class or something?

I dont generally release full-res images on the net. I could do you a 100% crop though if you wanted to see how detailed the shots are at full res.

I didnt go to a class or anything I just forced myself to not use the auto modes and taught myself.

Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello.
I love those little guys, am planning to go back to Dobbies to look into how big they get etc.

Sure, I was just curious as to how much the jpeq actually knocks off the image quality. Purely to satisfy my nerdy curiousity

Thats a 100% crop, as little JPEG compression as possible (I go straight from RAW to JPEG you see, so my whole workflow is in jpeg...)

Thankyou, curiousity satisfied

That gives me an idea of just _how_ good that camera and shot is

The detail really is something else

Another 100% crop for you.

Its "only" 6.3MP so the resolution is a bit limited. Ideally for this stuff I would be after 8 or more but its just more and more money!! A 1DmkIIn is my ideal camera - the detail they are capable of is stunning!
