These are all veeeery nice pictures. Just a short question though: What are the settings on your cam? I usually have quite problems with the pictures.
Apart from disabling the flash, what seetings do you recommend on the Digicam for such sharp and detailled pictures?
Thanks for tips

Bright Sky - ISO 100, f8-f13, Shutter at 1/200 or above (1/400 is normal)
Subduded light - ISO 400 f6.3 Shutter at 1/125 (compensating up or down)
Past Sunset - ISO as far as I can dare (1600), f4 or below (f1.8/f.28 is perferable to let as much light in as possible, risking shallow Depth of field), shutter at 1/100 or above (higher the better - remember, you're moving at considerable speed!)
Here is one I took on approch to LHR from BRU. Taken 22/06,
Lens: 17-40L (Canon), Body: Canon 20D, ISO 1600, f4, 1/60 (yes, I've broken my own rules - I was lucky), WB as Shot, Not toned, scaled to 1000 by whatever for Photoblog. Looking at it now, I think i could had got away with ISO800, and doubled my shutter speed (and halved my noise).... but i wasn't in the mood to chance it

Thanks. It was a beautiful summer's day in 2004 on a Kenya Airways flight from NBO-LHR. We went straight over southeastern France and the Cote D'Azur. I somehow managed to sit in Business Class and the view was completely unobstructed. Needless to say, my face was glued to the window for about an hour!

From photos it is hard to see, but looking out the window (wider) you most certainly can see it. Sadly I was just using a P&S so didn't have anything with wide zoom.
