Playing with the weather and a plane I downloaded today while doing my sweep of SimV.Thanx for looking. Hope I'm not running the cloud thing into the ground! :-/











C&C welcome and appreciated!

Negatives first...sorry, that's just me...

I think these would have looked a lot better had you paused and waited for the more detailed scenery textures to load...this is particularly evident on #2

It also looks a bit over-compressed although I'm not sure if that isn't just the plane...

On the plus side, the composition and arrangement is great, I love the lighting on 4 and 5, and all the shots have a real sense of movement... the clouds leave a bit to be desired in 1, 2 and 3, but are spot on in 4 and 5.

A screen shot IMO requires 3 very important things:

1) A decent plane. You have done well with this point, especially the underbelly of this spit. Lovely aircraft.

2) Scenery and a fair amount of it, Scenery completes the shot. The scenery in this shots is fairly absent and those that do show some land is blurred. I don't pause,set settings to max just for shots. I take em @ flying settings.

Adjust your settings to focus system resources on scenery IMO.

3) Great sky/colour/lightning and angles. Here you have done very well. I like the angles and the close up shots. Clouds are nice too.

IMO, they are great, its just the scenery that are absent

All these shots were taken mainly for the sky and clouds, and everyone is taken while flying and all my sliders are cranked. the ground wasn't that bad lookin as its a photo landscape, you just can't see most of it for the clouds. But point well taken for future shots!

clouds don't count as scenery? very surprising! I consider the clouds scenery enough in these shots...

Wow. Those last two are great. Cool angles and the clouds are a nice touch too.
