What can I improve(overall)

Postby Mees » Mon Jul 09, 2007 10:30 am

Hey,

For quite a while now I've had the feeling that the 'fashion' of my shots is going down. About a year ago, when I actually started making and posting screens regulary and also noticed the fun of it, I would get loads of positive reactions on them. Now I notice that I either get very little replies on my shots(which doesn't really bother me as a side-note ;)) or it's going off topic. *takes drag*
Also I see a lot of new members blowing the whole forum away and I also find a lot of those shots very good.

Alright, to the point.

Now that I have the time to get back to serious flight simming and taking shots, I'd like some advise on what looks good and I'd also like to hear some personal tastes as an inspiration.

I've also included some shots of which I think they are my personal best. What do you guys think I could improve?

I may not be a master... but heres what I think

#1 You could probably make a good edit out of this one just by adding some realistic grass and maybe blurring the background to add some sense of speed... as a screenshot I think it looks great

#2 The scenery on the ground could be a little lighter... but the model and texture look great

#3 perfect as is

#4 Less compression and better water textures would make this one perfect.... but honestly its still a great shot

#5 again... perfect the way it is

#6 no improvement needed

#7 the grass doesnt seem to match the runway and taxiway textures and the atmosphere of the shot is a bit dull

#8 better ground textures! thats about it

Well I'm sorry if you didnt get the advice you needed... I tryed

All of your shots though as still great!

Overall image quality: Excellent:

#1: Good angle.

#2: Bad angle, too generic. And you can't see the ground too well.

#3: Bad choice of angle, seems too "forced".

#4: No objections.

#5: Doesn't work out. The plane is blocking too much of the image.

#6: Too dark and too little ground detail for a good approach shot.

#7: The perspective makes for a weird looking climb angle.

#8: No objections.

#9: I know what you thought. "Awesome view from the pit, lets make a screenie of it." Sadly, unless using an unusual angle, this does not work out.

#10: No objections.
