Really pleased for a first time ;)

First for my IA boss

C160

All in all I'm pretty pleased - but then again it doesn't take much!! :))

Thanks both - I confess to cropping the C17 he was all over the place coming in the wind was quite strong - Then they changed the runway direction - so decided I had been in the sun long enough & came home.......but the rest are untouched.....

you can see the difference between the C17 T the C160 last & first shots so a bit fiddling really helped!! :p

from you XP I take great satisfaction from that remark!!!

I have to that it's is so much easier changing settings on this Canon - on the Panasonic there were so many other buttons to press before I could even find the settings I wanted to change, I just used to get confused!

[and yes I get confused so easily!!!]
