And now rip THIS...

Postby spitfire boy » Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:14 pm

Another shot from FSX, this time over ketchikan, alaska, using the afs-design typhoon and nickn's sun fix, which I now love, contrary to earlier reports from myself.

I intend eventually to make this shot one of a set of 4 which will be posted in the payware section. I have 2 of the 4 shots I need at present...

Anyway, down to business.... as before please give a rating just so I can get a good feel as to how I'm doing and how much I need to improve.

Thanks in advance guys... ;)

I don't like the cirrus layer of clouds...Perhaps tweaking the camera angle just a bit ;)

This was the fixed tail view where the only variation I get is panning... but I take your point. ;)

I like this shot - but the camera angle does somewhat hurt my brain ::)

Contrary to what Ashar said, I like the cirrus layer of clouds.
Perhaps some afterburners would make a better image? :-?

It's a nice shot, but I agree with Ashar. The cirrus is very unrealistic, and too clearly made up of tiles.

Well this was a spur of the moment shot - it wasn't set up - but I do see where you're coming from.

Stewie, believe it or not, those are the afterburners. For some unfathomable reason, the burners get darker as the day gets darker... :-?

I think we can all learn a thing or two about pushing the perspectives limit from this pic. All the individual visual elements may not be totally realistic, but as a complete package, this pic is DA BOMB! Moody, unique and rich in color and focal points. BRAVO!
