well at Hagars suggestion i decided to try out the camera in the local area, not much of major interest but it did give a proper opportunity to use the camera.
Easyjet 737






these stones are actually a local landmark they stretch through a few fields in an almost perfect line, as to their reason or use, no idea, the sign explaining it was taken down

hi Hagar
Thank you for the comments:)
as for the plane before i had to downsize it the plane was pretty clear and you could make out alot more detail, i will give the cropping a go see how well it helps
thanks for the advice:)

Go out and shoot Craig....experience builds an information database in your head for what this nice camera can do for you. 
Just remember the "low light level" shots may be "tricked" if you use flash on outdoor shots where you may think the range is too great.....Wendy has learned that from our evening strolls.  Her 2.8 lens is not as fast as my 1.8, but we both have come home with acceptable results of scenic shots, even though her camera recommended "flash" and mine didn't........give it a try 

I guess I better post some of my "town"...
