I see you have the shutterbug, and I'm glad you have the enthusiasm, and now you are ready to be tutored in some of the finer qualities of screenart. We shall begin with equipment.

Irfanview. If you already have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, or another editing program, then you do not need this, but if you are using Paint, then I recommend you pick this up. It gets the job done quite well for me.

FS Recorder. If you already have Active Camera or any other third party cameras, then no need for this, but if not, this is a great alternative to the standard FS camera, as it eliminates all those limitations and allows you to get some very nice angles.

Now... Articles. Reading these will for sure help you on the road to glory.

AlonsoX's guide to Angles,

Jakemaster's Start Simple tutorial.

Eno's Lighting tutorial.

Cloud9's Anti-Compression tutorial.

(Only if you have a slow comp)
Souichiro's Tips for Lesser Systems.

And there's a whole lot more right here:

Hope this stuff helps you to become even better! :)

When you're flying your sim, do you always have "Danger Zone" blasting on your stereo? ;D

Sweet shot! ;)

Pretty good shot. Only thing I think that would have made this shot alittle better would have been to zoom in on the plane some, tilt the camera angle alittle just give a more interesting angle.

Look forward to seeing some more shots from you.
