Hey guys:

Well, I tried to do the angle thing... and these are of course for this week's contest  ;) Here are 5 shots that I am playing around with; I'd love to hear your suggestions, comments, critiques, etc.

Thanks,
Barb

#2 is very dynamic, and has great clouds, whilst #3 is more serene and relaxed... It's a draw between those two for me :)

Thanks all for your kind words. Yes, that is Mount Everest. It was pretty cool seeing the Twin Otter being able to hold that kind of climb.

Mitch:  I still am trying to figure out how to angle the external view within FSX so that I can screen capture it at an angle. I tried downloading this free camera software but it didn't work  :-?, so unfortunately now I just have to zoom out, take a flat shot, rotate it within Photoshop, and crop down all the corners. So I end up losing a lot of the photo in the process  :-/

...but i also have a building some trees good cloud structure, also a bird(that are hard to notice) dont always "give" all of the attention on the plane itself and try to include something else may it be AI, buildings, scenery, birds, or an amazing cloud structure, or all of the above

Thanks for the suggestion -- in your photo, how did you get the plane off-center and the horizon tilted? Were you able to do it within FSX/FS9, or did you need a photo editing program afterwards?

what i did was choose a default camera definition by left clicking the mouse->click aircraft->then choose left or right wing.... these are default camera angles to if you want more to enter in the aircraft .cfg let me know
