Thanks Carl, and You're right Andrew, love the 5DII, less than impressed with the 16-35.
We're lucky with the view, I didn't have to travel, happened to wake just after 3, fell out of bed, 3 steps out on to the deck and snapped away still half asleep.
@ Paul, HRH insisted that I get out and take a photo, she even came out for a look, although the night sky comes a poor second to her beauty sleep.
