I was about to say that. But the pictures are great, the night time lighting is well handled.

These are superb Ted. You feel you can reach out and touch the moon. Is that last one Jupiter?

I'm with Smeggy when it comes to natural history but sometimes an absolute stunner comes along that grabs my attention. This is one such.
8000 ISO: Its got to be with a K5 or K30.

Love them all Alan but the three of the girl in the fur hat are my favourites.
How do you get stunning models like these for for £39? Or did you just grab them as you passed in the street?

Salisbury is a beautiful city and your interesting pictures show another side of it as well. I enjoyed visiting here in 2012. Hope you don't mind me crashing your thread Louise but here's a couple of shots I took.

I drove over the Pennines on Saturday to grab action shots of the restored Class A4 express steam loco Union of South Africa in action on a heavy charter train - Cumbrian Mountain Express - on the West Coast and Settle and Carlisle railways. It was very cold and the light was low. ISO on my K5 was between 1000 and 2000 all day. Got the train going north to Carlisle in the morning at Oxenholme and shots of it returning south in the Eden Valley in the afternoon.
