lmao, tell me about it. Its pretty annoying cos bouncers always have doubts about if its me, I just say to em "heres my ID + some hair"
some bouncer last night said, this is from your chavvy days.
I am enjoying it though, wanna try some portraits but the misses is back at Uni. might have to collar one of my housemates.
Its not as crisp as yours, but your body is £1000 more than mine

TBH dan the main difference from mine to yours will be the lighting and im guessing you were using a small aperture (2.8 or below)
Try shooting at about 5.6 or 6.3.

I tend to go for 5.6 to 6.3 for portrait stuff. I find thats where the lens is at its sharpest

looked an alright quality. theyre 7/8 megapixels arent they?
Mine's only 5.6 (nikon D50) so i wonder how the lense would fair on mine (not exactly the same one mind as it probs wouldnt fit)

Mines 8.2, tbh unless your blowing it up big it doesnt matter so much.
You can get a lens to fit your nikon, Jonny has one for his Nikon similar to mine.
