Yep, born and bred!

Both those shots are from Montpellier Gardens last week, on the way home from work. Been meaning to get aome shots since they re-did it with lights. Was shooting at 3200 ISO, so need to drag the tripod into work at some point and have another go.

Ooh brilliant. I might have a bash at this for the first time. I took a load of shots the other day of some very 'ordinary' buildings...

I'll post a few up in a sec and see what you think.

And this is just the 'chat' thread. Guys you're scaring away all the competition virgins!

Fantastic shots! This one's superb.

[stigmundfreud]

Thanks Emma! I was pleased when I got that one taken, its a seedy grotty drug pick up point that was empty thanks to pea soup fog that night.

Another I might use is this ordinary bar of soap
