A change from tubes....

More edits....

The first is my first attempt at adding a prop, last one is a bit of an experiment

That first one is amazing. Except I think the prop should be a tad larger :-/

Good Job Krigl ;)

Pretty nice looking, but I agree about the prop size on #1.  Also the prop disk on the Porter in #3 just seems to stand out a lot, isn't as well blended and transparent as your others, but still a nice shot.

Thanks for your helpful comments!  I think the prop in #1 is the right size, but maybe it looks small because of the white on the tips? It does seem to fit the very faint prop disc there, but I might be wrong... I'll pay more attention to this when I create a new shot with prop for editing...I think the angle came out okay though. I used Simplex's  tute on Screenshotart.com.

 #3 does have a  weak prop disc rendition - it comes with the model, and I didn't think to try to change it. Good point though!

#1 is excellent. :o You chaps are amazing. I wouldn't even attempt to do anything like that. I think cloud9flyer is right about that prop though. I know it's the wrong type of Cessna but this might give you an idea. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_6058-shor.jpg

Thanks Hagar! It's scenery of Gdansk.... I tried to make it look as 3d as possible while retaining it's FSness.... :)
Most 'editing' isn't that hard, just playing around and practice.... Taking great photos of real planes in flight... now that's an art!!!

About the prop - well, I'll bow to everyone's judgement then.... :) Next time I'll pay more attention, it didn't turn out to be as difficult to do the prop as I thought it would be, so I'll have another go another day.

Nice of you to say so but I was in the back row when artistic talent was handed out. The quality of FS is so good now I get a lot of inspiration from the screenies sections.

I'm still not sure about that prop. Have a look at this. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_6386-shor.jpg

The daft thing being that I spend a lot of time trying to make props look invisible. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_5707-shor.jpg

LOL  :D Why though? Prefer them like that?

I've just started with adding props to screenshots.... one of the trickier editing 'techniques'... I'm not going to bother with every shot I post, but I want to learn this effect.

The idea is to get a nice prop disc as you would see with your own eyes. This isn't as easy as it might seem & a lot depends on things like the lighting conditions, the engine revs, number of blades & of course the colour of the prop. Almost every aircraft type is different & requires different shutter speed settings.

Aha! I see, makes sense now... you're shooting yourself in the foot here though Hagar with your 'I'm not talented' pitch combined with your obviously accomplished camera know-how and skills...  protest how you like Hagar, we all know you're a pro. Or at least a semi-pro  ;)

I would love to get in and comment on all the excellent photo forum shots, including yours, but I sadly just cannot manage everything with my family, a heavy workload etc... but I always head for your posts first when I go in there... and Heathaze's, of course.

Off to bed now, 'night all!

If only you knew how I struggle. LOL People like Heathaze are the pros. I'm learning but ever so slowly. ::) Good fun though. If it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing. :)
