I’m going to be a little negative here, Rob, but hopefuly it won’t be taken too badly!

The first two shots and the one of G-EZAM are good, but the rest of them could have been taken with your old Fuji and I wouldn’t have known any different bar the fact they’d have had more noise. This is exactly what I’ve tried to say in countless MSN conversations… Without good technique and a certain degree of technical knowledge the equipment you have is almost of no consequence whatsoever. All the flaws that existed before are still there, despite now having a very good and capable camera. The only way to improve now is to do what I’ve been suggesting you do for the last year and learn the technical ins and outs of your camera. It’s a lot to take in. It really is and it takes a long time to learn and get used to but it really is the only way you’ll improve. I’ve said countless times your photos won’t look the same as mine or other peoples just because you have the same camera, and this shows my point.

If you’re happy doing what you do then by all means continue as you are, but if you really do want to improve then you have to learn more about how your camera works. There’s no short path to it unfortunately but believe me, every hour you spend learning will give you infinite enjoyment when you start to see the results. So come on… Let’s see some real improvements! 🙂

Paul what you need to remember is that its was overcast , dark , windy and freezing ….. also my first time with the new camera

and if you look back to your post

you will see that your photos there arent as good as they normally are and you have all the experience.

so try and take that in to account before you start saying i dont listen which in your words were ” countless msn convo’s and stuff you have been telling me all year”

Bad weather = bad photos you know that
