Fiona, they are super. My favourites are numbers 1 and 3.
Well, Fiona, I'm glad you did bother to post your images. They are different, but just as good as your better half's.
Like the chopper shots, where you show a little of the interior. Sort of puts the scenery in perspective, if you know what I mean.

No worries, I knew you were joking!

I'm really enjoying limiting myself to the 35mm at the moment (apart from the fishy for the sculpture and helicopter ride). It's great to give myself that fixed focal length challenge before I even take a shot - makes you think about it more.
Oh and no, I would never remove my husband from that shot (I just wanted to capture his enthusiasm as well as the jets).
Thank you again for your great comments, you've really boosted my confidence and enthusiasm!

I'm not very good at panning with action shots so struggled a bit with the red arrows and the 4x4s, but generally I am quite pleased with my efforts considering.
Here is a small and varied collection of what I took using the 10-17mm fisheye and 35mm:

All C&Cs welcome - I know it's a bit of a mixed bunch!

Very good shots, numbers 2 and 5 are my favourites: the "head on" appearance in number 2 is great, and I love the vapour trails coming off the wings in number 5 - they also look as if they are emerging from the smoke in that one, you definitely have the "gift" when it comes to this kind of photography.
I hate that you're better than me!

The splash in number 2 looks almost like crystal, and I love the red in number 4.
As for the glass shots, I'm afraid they don't really do anything for me - although it was fun seeing the basketball player!
