Dassault Rafale

The Dassault Rafale is a multirole, twin-engine, highly maneuverable fighter aircraft designed and built by the Eurofighter consortium.
What appears to be smoke above the aircraft's wings is actually just water vapour. When the aircraft turns, it creates a vacuum in that area, which causes water vapour to be produced, which disappears immediately when the plane returns to a horizontal position and the air begins to circulate again.
The photo was taken at the Gijon Air Festival (Asturias-Spain) held in August of each year.

Hi Mariano, Great image! Congrats for being picked as Photo of the Day.

How are you? You told me you were waiting for the Canon R5 II. Has this great camera arrived yet?

Hi Mariano, I took the new camera with me to Kenya last November. The R5 MK II is nothing short of miraculous! The in-camera stabilization is amazing. I was able to shoot down to 1/600 sec. hand held with my very heavy 200-400 teleconverter lens without introducing any blur due to camera shake. The auto focus and subject tracking live up to all the hype, and the image size and lack of noise are huge improvements over the R6. I was able to shoot well into the evening. It is by far the best camera I have ever owned!

My problem is not having enough time to finish the post processing. I have only posted three images from the trip so far on Fstoppers (and one of these was taken with my 16-35mm lens and old R6). I'm going to be busy for several more months with the post production edits!

Once again, great image and "My like!" Bob :-)

I'm very happy. A great camera for a great photographer.
Receive my warmest greetings
