Nice work mate... all looks good and as soon as my camera gets back I'm hanging to get out there with you!

It was a pretty good night from the other side of the fence to!

Hi Matey, yeh well bad luck about the camera but i guess it has happend to some or most of us or will happen to those with D70 at some stage. I am not sure if mine has ever been the same since as when i got it back the on board flash didn't work so make sure you check that out and then i used a 2 gig card in it and then it didn;t like using it so had to put a 1 gig card in.

Also the off board flash is very hit and miss and just seems to do strange things at times.

I will return your lens as well sometime soon as well mate.
