I love the big Ariane 5's Ive been watching them since 2001.

Rather horrified to watch the Ariane drop Hotbird 7 into the Atlantic on the second or third one I watched

Nah, you just need better lighting conditions, and not have a light source behind the subject unless you have brighter light on the subject from or behind behind the camera...
