Well starting of the week off with some pics.





A dedication to the Fallen Blue Angle by taking my F/A-18 for a Blue Angle style flight.

PS. How do i get the 100 Kb of the shots? I use Irfanview and if i put 100 on the slider the file is too big. on these i only put 90 and 95.

You don't need to compress them so much A1 - the slider on Irfanview doesn't just go down in fives, it also goes down by ones (e.g. you can pull the slider down from 100 to 99, then 98, then 97 etc...)

Your images are around 30 - 50kb when compressed around 90-95 and the quality isn't at all bad, so when compressed at about 98 - 97 they'll probsbly look a lot better.

Nice shots by the way!

Great angles.. and it seemed like the darkness sorta blocked us from seeing the jaggies

If i could hand out a little advice... it would be: You  take shots from behind or infront the plane-on the side a bit, often (hence the first shots). What I have noticed is that your jaggies get you the worst when you do so :-/ ... Im not 100% sure, but that seems to be the case

From what i remeber (not much ) the slider in Irfanview is not the size of the file, it represents the percentage of quality in the shot, 100 being the best quality, but higher file size.  I try and aim for about 85-90 on the slider, trial and error really, try 90 and then check the file size in windows, if its too large then go down to say 85 on the slider

NDSP, the jaggies have nothing to do with, "front or behind" shots. He has just overcompressed them.

Aye, to help get rid of the jaggies, try getting the slider as high as possible, as i previously said, your shots are only 33k and you are allowed upto 100k, try to include every last k to remove all the jaggies

Have a look at this tutorial here this will help you remove those jaggies and help you get the best out of Irfanview.  There are many more tutorials at the studio, click here for all the tutorials available

Love the pics. The F18 looks very aggressive.
