What about the second card - surely there's something nice on there?

Take a tripod, select a small aperture to get a nice depth of field, take your time and either use a cable release or the self timer. The close-up of the Halifax took 20 seconds, so don't be scared of taking your time. The lighting in there's a horrible colour, but you can get rid of the worst of the effects in photoshop (unless you're crap with colours like me).

Sorry to disagree with you on this Rob, but as someone who is photographically challenged and has a hard enough job working a bog standard digital camera and coping with decisions like will I use the flash or not, your photographs are great and due to a skill you have that not everyone can master to the same effect.
Thanks to you and some of the other great photographers that share their pics and knowledge we photographically challenged folk (I'm sure I'm not the only one) get the opportunity to not only view some great pics but also learn a bit more about how to improve on our own humble attempts.
Credit where credit is due............oh and the colours look fine to me.

I'm going to re-do the photos tonight after Damien brought the aliasing effects to my notice. All the diagonals show some pixelation that's probably cause during the shrinking/compression process.

Obviously I was far too polite to mention that

Ignorance is bliss (mine), to my photographically challenged eyes they look pretty darn good.............but now that it's been pointed out I see what he means............see, we're all learning more and more by the post

I've resized the original photos and reloaded them - any comments on the colour cast? I've balanced black and white points, but that's about the limit of my colour perception.

At least I pointed out in private
Still a bit green in some of them but as you're blind as a bat we can forgive that. Been roped in to approve any visas recently?

All advice gratefully received Damien.
I can see perfectly well....... unless there's a requirement to distinguish particular colours.
