Thanks chaps,

considering they are hand held, and i was standing on top of a old fence and just how far away the Typhoon is in the 4th shot i want to thank you for mentioning that one

Thanks chaps i just got lucky with the burners

edit:

ps, the trusty old 350D keeps going strong with a second hand sigma lens i bought in a KFC carpark ;)

That last "letter box" shot is STUNNING! I have never tried this type of stuff. Need to get my backside up there when they are doing this.

Cheers for sharing
