Hey all,
After all your really good advice on my other thread, i headed off to Gatwick yesterday ready to try again. Hopefully this time i will please……..
As you can quite clearly see, these are miles better than the ones from only 24 hours before. Thanks all you guys for your help. These are all unedited, but soon i will be getting some software come through my door thanks to TP.
Comments most welcome….

Hi Josh.
Compared to your first attempts these show much improvement! I still occasionally forget to check/adjust white balance myself, and get the odd strange colour cast as a result. So many things to set on the D-SLRs!!!
I travelled on that Flybe 146 many times…
Out of interest which lens(es) did you use? I have the slightly older EOS350D, and a couple of older EOS 350 35mm kit zoom lenses (plus the 350D kit lens supplied), and I find my photos are sometimes a bit “soft” using them, despite various attempts to tweak the camera settings. Were you using the standard Canon EOS400D kit lens or have you got something else? I suspect my older lenses are simply a bit too cheap and cheerful to get really pin sharp shots.
I work in offices based above South terminal at Gatwick, and know the spot on the Eastern perimeter road where you take some of your shots from. Maybe I’ll bring my camera in when the weather is a touch warmer and pop down there one lunchtime for a half an hour and see what I can catch.
Let me know (by PM) if you’re ever going to be there around lunchtime on a weekday and fancy meeting up, maybe I can pop down and say hi.
