I have to admit the French are always amazing at these airshows. I thought the Patrouille de France put on a great display at Waddington and in the past they've always done great displays too (been going to airshows for about 7 years now).

My favourite French displays are always the Rafales and Mirages though. Sadly though, the Mirage doesn't seem to attend airshows anymore. :(

I was only kidding but yeah I've seen them a few times and they're pretty good...

You can see some Rafales in Syria (I think) and the Mirages I see them often when they practice fly over France.

There is going to be a Rafale at RIAT which is another airshow I attend and I've seen them at RIAT in the past. RIAT 2013 is in less than two week's time now - looking forward to that (much bigger planes flying there).

And it looks like I now need to get on a ferry in order to see a Mirage. ;)

To be honest I've been trying to photograph it for the past four years but it's very unpredictable, there are no routine for their practice schedule. So you only have like 20 seconds to get your gear and take the photo if you want a small dot in the sky. To get the plane with a good zoom and good look you have like 5 seconds max lol.

You're lowering the quality slider in Photoshop still aren't you? The banding in the sky looks awful. Instead, resize them to something like 1,000 pixels on their longest side and keep the quality on 12.

Took the GoPro on the water slide at Centre Parcs. Most, fun, ever.

Yes I am. As well as reducing the image size, it also severely reduces the quality, meaning people will be less inclined to go using my photos when they shouldn't be.

@Spirit I thought that banding is some editing done by you and not low quality, btw where are the Rafales??
@Kornowski
They allowed you take a camera inside that slide?

Sadly they weren't at Waddington but will be at RIAT in a few weeks time which is another airshow I attend.

And yeah the banding/lines is a result of saving the files at a low quality. As said, I do it to reduce the size and also to stop people being inclined to use my photos.

I'd just resize them and keep the quality otherwise they look awful.

I don't know, probably not, but nobody said anything.

Nice Danny, haven't been to a water park in years, must be nice!

It was insane, dude. I haven't been to one for years either, or swam outside for years. It was so refreshing in this heat weave we're getting.

Danny which Center Parcs was that? The one in Elveden?

It was in Penrith, Cumbria. Whinfell Forest I think it was called.
