Ray,
Thanks for the feedback and adivce. I will certainly try your settings on my next outing which looks like by the skies over Brisbane and the current forecast may not be until next week. I agree my camera is very low end I was looking at maybe this camera DBK 21AU618.AS so if anyone has an opinion on this camera it would be greatly appreciated. Would it be much of a step up and will I get a much better image, as these are available for just under $500 here is brisbane.

Thanks
Carl
