Hayward, unless you had told us, I don't think we could have told the difference. I switch between my dslr and my p&s quite often also.

Good selection and all satifying, although my favourite is the second, with its limited light opportunities. A difficult picture beautifully captured and presented in an asymmetric compostion with strong angles and lines. Nice job Hayward

Interesting! Can't see a whole lot of difference viewing what I'm assuming are lower resolution files.....say it ain't so!....should I sell Nikki Sue Nikon and go back to my old P&S? Nice set, by the way and the sunset is spectacular.

Thanks Hayward! just goes to show that our fancy DSLR's are not the only way to capture great shots! Many of the new Point and Shoot models have higher resolution than my Canon 40D. I'm looking a the new Sony Cybershot just to have in my pocket when I can't carry the 40D.
Oh by the way! Fantastic shot of the Sun. Good job on the low light shot in your hotel room?
I love the tug boats, are they radio controlled? and the last one could be an add for the Hotel brochure.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
