You've a tendency to cut off the top of the masts at the expense of showing too much empty foreground water (in which there's little interest) but fairly minor points (oh, and #1 could do with a rotate if you look at the lamposts!)
Just noticed... Thanks... I've heard it's a trap for your players - I'll pay better attention to that next time... Thanks for the feedback

I'd be interested to hear anyones thoughts on exposure and the light meter in the d40x. Personally I thought the pic's are slightly underexposed.. I suppose it's a fine line between underexposing during the shot and playing with shadow / highlight in photoshop later, as against risking over exposure and washing out the hightlights that would then be unrecoverable?
I haven't played with the expourse compensation dial yet but would be interested in others thoughts and experiences with the auto exposure settings on this camera.
I've heard the 40 & 80 both have an inherint bug in the firmware?
