Thanks for the compliments, I just got this camera for Christmas and am still learning how to use it. Its a Panasonic Lumix FZ8, really an incredible camera.

On a side note, I like taking photos of industrial areas, there's something about all those angles and vapours and rusted metal...

Indeed, the macro is... well, not very macro! You do have to be quite far away for it to be effective, but the pictures are beautiful and the 'scene' mode makes taking great pictures easy. I tend to fiddle with the autofocus a lot, going back and forth from the normal mode to the macro mode... and it's nice that you can set the priority re: aperture or shutter.
