hi everyone, i am absolutely new here, this is my first post.  :)

anyway just wanted to upload those pics i took flying over Colorado state (dont recall where..) and Switzerland - Geneva, near the Alps. i used the very nice add-on of the tile proxy (freeware) along with X graphics (FSX). the  Cessna is by Carenado. I'm new on this, so i will get better images next times.  :-?
Enjoy!

Those are stunning. What a way to introduce yourself to the forums!

One tip; wait until the text at the top of the screen disappears before taking your shot, and if you're in slew mode, pause and come out of it before taking your shot.

Doesn't detract from the quality of these shots, however; the sense of altitude and depth of shot in #2 and #3 are absolutely superb!

Welcome to SimV, mate! Don't forget to enter our monthly screenshot contest when it comes online soon!

I look forward to seeing more from you!

Hi JC. Welcome to the V also known as the Madhouse. Dr. Katahu awaits you for your first shot ;D

Great way to introduce yourself. Indeed stunning shots for a first-timer!!
Clearly the Cessna is not the center of attention so zooming out on the aircraft is not an issue here.

Enjoy your stay with us ... I hope it will be a long one. As for the contest: you probably can't enter in July as you only registered today and you have to be a registered member a month before the contest start. But no worries, you can always join us next month 8-)

And please make sure you visit Studio V for screenart tips and tricks.
