5 second exposure? 👍 Nice and sharp. Did you take any more shots? Some action ones would be good.

The detail and noise absence is absurd for an ISO that high. On that, what a beautiful animal. Great work Giles! 👍

Thanks for all the kind words about the tiger folks.
Here are some from the Edinburgh Festival. These folks are out promoting their shows. For most of them, they're heavily committed financially to ticket sales, so this work is more important than the performances themselves.

Yeah, I'm sure you can imagine it was almost impossible to get a clear shot of her or her companions, all equally (un)dressed

Fab photos Giles, with great DOF. I'd be happy to let the Amnesy International girls explain their plight 
Also, the woman facing the camera on the right in the first photo appears to have an arm growing out of her ear

Kumquat Flowers
This kumquat tree is living something of a half-life. Meant for the conservatory, it seems that it might be too hot in there for the plant (certainly, the lemon tree died pretty smart-ish). The kumquat lives next to the conservatory, and rather than dying immediately (as most plants in our care do) it's surviving and producing new flowers and new fruits. A marvel of modern horticulture.

Uniformed Girl
Emma was pleased as punch with her new school uniforms. So much so that she was a willing model, not really understanding why I was making her stand in different places in each dress. She's seen the finished pic, and gets it now.
Camera: Canon EOS 5D with EF24-70 F/2.8L
Focal Length: 27 mm
Exposure: 1/200 sec @ F/6.3, ISO 320 (Flash: Fired)
[EDIT] I'm not totally happy with the execution of this pic. The flash really blew out her face in the left shot, so I've really not been able to balance the colours across all three faces. I'd be interested to hear comments on this, because it's well above "family-pleasing" quality, but a little below "Giles-pleasing".

Definitely a above "family-pleasing" quality. I think the neck is more blown out than the face on the left... Skin tone seems fine (I assume natural complexion is quite light in your family).
Possible way to better the shot would be to reduce the power in the flash a little. Are you using TTL? Wack the flash into manual and push the focal length setting to 14mm. If it's an EX flash you can simply pull the built in diffuser over the flash and it will automatically drop it to 14mm strength. Another option is to apply a gel that you think will best match the ambient light.
Overall though the flash work is good. Its especially hard to take a shot firing a flash at a subject with a window behind them, you managed to not get any reflection of yourself or the flash firing although there is some reflection still, possibly a laundry basket but I cant quite make out what it is.

Hmmm, food
The first two pictures have to be my favorite of the set, specially the first one. It’s quite simple, but the harmony of brown, green and white tones made it for me. 👍

Tunnel Vision
Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark III with EF24-70 F/2.8L USM
Focal Length: 28 mm
Exposure: 1/3 sec @ F/2.8, ISO 200 (Flash: Not Fired)
The tunnel at the Cairngorm Funicular presented an incongruously urban vista in the face of the spectacular Highland beauty outside. This shot was handheld on a moving funicular car. One third of a second baby.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D with EF16-35 F/2.8L USM
Focal Length: 16 mm
Exposure: 1/30 sec @ F/16, ISO 250 (Flash: Not Fired)
Nearly north. The pillars you see are for the ski lifts. Simulating this frame in Google Earth, this looks like a 100km view, approximately.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D with EF16-35 F/2.8L USM

This is more north-west, and features Loch Morlich in the middle distance

Looking south-west you get an appreciation of the steepness of the slope. It hits you when you go up in the funicular, which seems to ascend 200m without you really noticing. The cloudy sky polarised nicely but played hell with lighting!
Yes, so I took two bodies and six lenses on a family day out. It doesn't make me a bad person, does it?

Not at all, I tend to carry two bodies when I go pretty much anywhere with the family. But then again, judging by the amount of photo gear in my study, I very well might have a problem
The tunnel shot is great, Impressive that you managed to hold still without an IS lens. The second & third shots are really lovely as well. Wonderful scenery. The last one however doesnt work for me. The ground is too dark and the clouds are blown out too much as well.
