Thanks for your comments guys. It is difficult taking shots into the sun like this as you know. For these shots I now try & shade the lense with my hand the best I can. I later add brightness & contrast to the photo on my computer. It's not high tech but the more photos I take the better control I have on the way the photo turns out. (most of the time anyway). It's part of the learning curve for me. Thanks again!

Peter
