Thanks WoadV for your considered comment. It is unusual (for me at least) to get such a detailed assessment but it is very welcome. On this ocassion I am fairly sure it was handheld. I do more of it these days in preference to lugging the tripod around. I also think that higher iso settings within reason have little impact on the end result (or more accurately the results I am looking to achieve). Some of the brightness in the image is generated in post processing which includes tweeks to the white balance (RAW data). Thanks again for your interest and kind words. Cheers.Steve
