I want to get a screen-cap of an "anticipation" related email, but it's formatted all wonky and I can't get all the pertinent information in one capture. :-(

Somebody need to head out to an airport to snap a few of everyone lined up waiting to get home! Seems like the definition of anticipation today!

I think that David has a head start on the rest of us when it comes to such images - but he would probably prefer to give up that "advantage"! :(

With best wishes,

No people waiting (it was not that busy, nothing dramatic) but here's one from the return flight which fits the topic:

Not good enough for library use (hand-held in conditions where shake was inevitable for this exposure) though a few more from the same situation will be going to Alamy.

I've been checking over my Turkey trip shots and the 24-85mm is proving really exceptional - most shots at 24mm don't show any CA even at f/4.5 or so, and are very sharp indeed, I'd say as good across the frame including corners than the CZ 24-70mm, and the distortion is also very 'pure'.
