    Ant, a couple of those pics you could've photochopped. Nice pics, either way.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    you need to work on composition and framing

    if you are working on low light, you need to watch the exposure. most of these are in dire need of longer exposures.

    you nailed the focus for the most part though, only messed up a couple of the photos as far as focus is concerned.

    upon closer inspection none of these have longer than 2 second exposure time!

    perhaps it was just a 10s timer? just a thought, but yeah the exif data has them at like 2 seconds or 1.8.

    :
    i mean, it totally depends on (1) how much ambient light is there to begin with, and (2) what your aperture is set to.

    Heres what I would do. Since the exif says that you are indeed working with a decent camera, go back to this location: . This to me seems like it has the most promise for a nice exposure. Avoid using your flash. Play with the aperture/shutter scale until your exposure turns out nice. also, make sure you check your histogram on the spot. that will be more helpful than looking at a 2 inch screen and trying to determine if your shot is any good.
