When is a sony compact better than a d3...

[Hamish Gill]

...When You only have the sony compact of course

some slightly drunken shots of some mates lighting and launching a Chinese lantern .. or ufo ... as they are often known as by daft people

edited these quite a lot ... quality is terrible of course ... but actually i think they capture the moments quite nicely

I really like the second shot from last and the modified PP works quite well. How about a spot of coarse grain to hide some of the luminance noise?
