Wow, check the detail out on this guy! Great shot mate!
Many thanks Drew, appreciate it man! I have since acquired a twin lite, so next time one of them stays still long enough to actually shoot I should be able to pull off a closer, more detailed image. Cheers. :)

Thanks again Josie, always appreciate it :) You should get some! They’re pretty cheap really, at least as far as photography goes :) haha.

I’d need to get a new camera as well, I only have a Digital, one day I hope…..
Digital is where it’s at Josie :) But I assume you mean a point and shoot. Maybe you can splash out on a 2nd hand DSLR one day.

Sorry, yes I meant I only have a digital not a DSLR, one day i will….
