Very sharp photo's Chris, I love the clarity of your photos. The cherry red/black bezel is my (current) favorite. Great eye candy, you gotta love that, as a matter of interest I wish I knew what camera set you had.
Cheers

Thanks for your kind comments guys,

Steve, the first & coronet shots was taken with my Canon 350D & 60mm macro lens. The Greenwich Meridian & Liverpool shots were taken with my pocket compact, a Nikon Cool-pix 5600.

Just out of interest, I hadn't realised that "line shot" was taken at Rolex time (really spooky!!!!), here's a shot taken a few minutes after the shot.

Thanks Chris, yeah the Canon 350D has a great reputation, another member here bought one recently and has nothing but good things to say about it.
