Excellent set of shots mate, very nicely done (& good to see people not afraid to rack up the ISO)

I like these, particularly the first one.

Like these as well, they have a cinematic quality about them.

Thanks guys. Its a good example of how the 30D can deal with a high ISO given a fast enough lens.

I'll post some examples of 1600 ISO in bright sunlight, where it was not required, at all, later.

These are great images, taken in what must have been a difficult location for photography. The colours and sharpness are great.

Superb, I like number 1 and 4, but all are excellent
