    Having trouble finding time to develop through the RAW files, so most will have to wait until I get home, but here's a few more.

    Those are some nice pictures, especially the last one of the city from across the river. Any chance of a bigger version, it would make a nice background :)

    I'll sort it out when I get back.. No point posting the TIFF, as it's HOOOGE.. but a full res JPEG will be good enough for print, and you can resize it for a desktop... different aspect ratio you see. Leave it with me. I fly home tonight (singapore time) anyway, so I'll be back in the UK Thursday a.m (UK time).

    Ok guys... full res off the 350d.. saved as a JPEG.. some loss of quality compared to the 16bit TIFF, but more than anyone would probably need for screen work.

    oh.. that's perspective corrected too.

    Some really cool photos there! I need to get out of the country again, I had a chance for a tour of India in about 2 weeks time, wish I'd taken it up, even though it'll cost about £3K!

    Suppose you're using a top pro camera?

    Ah, great camera that, one of my friend got one for his b'day a couple weeks ago. Took a bit of time of getting used to all the functions though, but at 7.2mp the quality is gobsmacking!

    Hi Pookeyhead, fantastic pictures!

    I miss Singapore dearly as I lived there for the first 14 years of my life :)

    On a side note, are your daughters Eurasian? I can tell that they both have a mix ethnicity look in them if I'm correct? :eek:

    Just being curious as I share the same ethnicity myself :blush:

    Is it 7.2 effective? Sounds odd that I don't know, but I was under the impression it was 8.. or is that the total chip pixels, and 7.2 is the effective? Either way... I don't bother with numbers when I buy stuff.. I just use it, and evaluate it, and I came up with a short list of 2 - the 20d and the 350d... both identical in terms of quality, but the 350d was WAY lighter, which was important for travelling.

    Just the one daughter. Yes, she's eurasian. My partner is from SG.

    Heh, I'm Eurasian aswell.

    That Singaporean night scene picture looks REALLY nice for some reason all the light looks a bit like the hotels in Las Vegas..

    All over, I would have gone with my friend and his family who are from India. They have a villa in Goa which they go to regulary, but this time they wanted to travel all over the country for nearly a month, and invited me to go.

    I like visiting other cultures (Turkey was a good experience) and no doubt India would've been good too. Its pretty likely I'll have a chance to go with them again sometime in the future anyway.
