In my opinion the weather does´t seem to be too bad at all compared to the weather in Finland this summer so far: It has rained almost every day since mid June! When I was in an airshow last month it was very cloudy and it rained various amounts all day long. I and my 7D Mark II + 70-200 IS II got extremely wet but we both survived. 8)

Thanks for the positive comments about the photos, loved taking them too, and great fun talking with likeminded photographers there too. About the weather its my birthday month and normally we always get good weather on my birthday (today) in July and when its not its very unusual. I was just hoping for more blue background as in previous years and especially this years show with my new set up. Kind regards Gagder

Great shots Gadger, but on the weather side, aren't you repeating yourself ??? - I mean "awful weather" and "UK" ;DGadger said:Great weekend except for the awful weather for July in UK.
Have you "optimized" the animated gifs and kept the width small? I can usually get them down to a couple of Mb for uploading here.I was using the 200-400mm with the internal extender + 2x TC Mk III on Saturday for the Red Bull Clifff Diving here in Copenhagen. At 320m distance, the images were full-on potaytao as can be seen in this 100% crop. I need to test out what's the cause of this.

However, using the 30fps to make animated GIFs were fun. Unfortunately the 8MB file is too large to upload
I used ezgif and it's "optimized" option to get down to 8923KB (58 images), but that's too much apparently. I did not find the limit written anywhere. (by trial it's 4MB obviously)Have you "optimized" the animated gifs and kept the width small? I can usually get them down to a couple of Mb for uploading here.
EZGif is very good. Decreasing the number of pixels in the frame is good for getting lower file sizes. I use that more than compression.I used ezgif and it's "optimized" option to get down to 8923KB (58 images), but that's too much apparently. I did not find the limit written anywhere.

Even at the max compression level ("200") the file is too large (5.5MB); so I had to cut it up into two parts.
Part 1: (compression level 35)

Part 2: (compression level 150)
