About the Photo's
Photo's were all captured at a higher resolution than is available here - 2160 x 1440 pixels. There are a couple of CDs of the higher-resolution photo's circulating amongst fan club members for those who want copies. Alternatively you can email me for specific photo's. However..... I have heard that TORn are out of pocket after the party because of some last-minute unbudgeted expenses so I would ask that anyone requesting copies of the photo's here make a donation to their funds. You can contribute by clicking on the link at the lower left corner of their web site at theonering.net. Many thanks.

Information on camera equipment
I have had a few requests asking what camera I use, so here are the details...
All photo's were taken with a Canon EOS D30 digital camera (this has since been superceded by the EOS D60 which has double the resolution - I wants one!). When taking indoor photo's (apart from the exhibition) I also used Canon's 550EX flash unit (attached to the camera unfortunately, which is why there is quite a bit of red eye which I didn't tidy up before publishing). Pictures were mostly taken at the hightest resolution available and converted to JPEGs after downloading to a PC. The main lens used was a 28-135mm zoom. One or two photo's were taken with a wide-angle 17mm-35mm zoom. The close-ups of the special guests were taken with a 100-400mm zoom lens becaue I was actually stood about 30 feet away from the front of the screening area).
