A few from holland

[mrchriscarlton]

Following a recent weekend trip to Amsterdam I finally managed to prise the camera from my girlfriends grip and take a few shots myself!

They were shot with a Canon 400D with the standard 18-55 lens without a tripod and on manual focus. They've not been cropped and I'm quite pleased with how they turned out!

And a favourite of mine... he's so cute

Hope you like!

Great pictures! You did very well with the kit lens. Have any of that angel in the back? What is it? Flagfin right?

After seeing the posted pictures who needs a Canon 40D, L lenses or Nikon D300. Tripod sales will be going down as well.

Great pictures!

Great job...beautiful pics. Was the camera handheld for these, or did you set it on something? They are extremely clear for not using a tripod.

I didn't use a tripod and the camera was just held. I didn't rest the camera on anything either - didn't want to scratch the tank or anything else

I've lost track of how many pictures we took on our trip but I'll try and sort some more out for posting.
