As you can see by my 6047 on 57 picture (https://flic.kr/p/TcjfjN), flaring also is an issue in very bright scenarios - in all fairness, gateshead high street is dark with a tonne of reflection. I love how easily I can take good quality nigjt pictures, though.Goes up to 40x zoom, but trying to focus the picture and holding still can be a nightmare for me..
I'm even getting better during the day, as you can see with the growing number of likes (https://flic.kr/p/TcjfjN).
Here are some better east coast pictures:

You know, this is a decent quality on all pictures, even if they're not good. I love taking pictures and I take pride in the hobby. I'm not interested in spending money if it causes frustration and adds complication. What I love about the hobby is how I can walk out of the door, find a place to take pictures and do so. It's so simple.
I like to take pictures too, but confidence is an issue on my part. It's when people are watching me... it just makes me feel awkward for some reason. Another issue for me taking photos is when I get stared at by a driver, and just completely puts me off photographing the bus they're driving...
