Sleephunter those pictures rock, I'm putting that on my list of "things to do before I die". Not sure how much help that will do though.

Yeah, pretty much had it for Ontario but from where the lakes, Islands and trees start to where they finish covers quite a bit of real estate. When, would be tough... the same planes could be still flying and look exactly the same. I'll hang tough waitng for the answer.

Thanks STL.
It can be difficult to use flash with the 10-20 mm lens, as the lens usualy creates a large shadow on the picture. When I have the money I'll get an external flash, but for now turning the camera upside down actualy seems to be a temporary solution in most cases, such as in the shot of XRN.

Great shots of the sunset there too.

Ragbag,
