I think your lens needs cleaning, or your sensor if it's a digital SLR!

Nice images, bit of a shame about the pollution.

Have a VERY close look at your lens.

One of the simplest ways to clean a lens is to breath upon the glass and wipe it with a cigarette paper scrunched up.

Never use kitchen towel or you will deposit more than you remove.

If it's a sensor issue then buy the proper kit to clean it of let a 'competent person' do it for you. (usually costs but cheaper than a new sensor).

It wasn't until i got home and saw the pics on the pc that i realised that the sensor was mucky, ~x( gonna send it away for a well earned maintenance program, i'm gutted the pics are not as good quality :(( as i sually expect from my camera but thought i'd share them anyway :)

Thanks Thumper i'm glad you like them, Miss Demeanour sure has a snazzy paint job and looks real funky in flight, not for a second suggesting everyone should adopt this paint scheme but it sire is nice to see someone breaking the 'rivet counter' rules occasionally :)

Another example of progress .... you never got that with 35mm SLR :D .......... relying on modern technology and it lets you down... AND it needs to be sent away to be fixed - I feel for you, I can imagine how gutted you must have been when you saw them for the first time :( :(

That sounds like it could be worth looking out for on Freeview, don't have sky but thanks for the heads-up might 'fone-a-friend' and see if they can save me a copy :)
