    Interesting to compare those shot with a flash and those in natural light. There is a vast difference. Not that one is necessarily better than the other (depends on what 'look' one prefers, I guess) but from an educational perspective they are very different. As usual, both are well shot by you, of course!

    Beautiful shots Brian.

    The lighting is lovely here. ISO1600 works very well on the 600D there :)

    Thanks for the comments :)

    DG - agree- I just look at them as a different style of shooting. I actually prefer the colours of natural light shooting but the sharpness of flash shooting.

    Ian - Yes been fairly impressed by the 600D so far with noise vs detail on highish ISo shooting.
