Good stuff, with the first few photos though it seems to auto-focus onto the grassy knoll in front of you rather than the aircraft. If you are able to adjust the focus manually onto the aircraft, it will be a lot clearer. thumbup1.gif

yeah i didn't notice that on site, but it seems to be the limitation with the camera, i was using manual focus the whole time, i don't think the rain helped the focus much either, but i am still getting used to the camera biggrin.gif for a $60.0 camera i can't complain

it was sold on trade me as a not working camera, i got it, and it worked perfectly, the fujifilm s3000 is quite a good camera, bit beeten up on the body, but as the pics show, works very well.

Maybe it was the cloud that made it blurry. Like the shots.
